FRESH SQUEEZED FABRIC GIVEAWAY and TUTORIAL
and
I am finished! I did free motion stippling all around, and I LOVE it a lot! I did super tiny stitches, and it took me 4-5 hours. (is that embarrassing? do you all do it in like 45 minutes) It is the biggest quilt I have done. I am loving playing with my machines free motion quilting, plus, if I add my girl math, that is another $50 less the cost of my machine. (remember every time I machine quilt a quilt myself, I get to deduct $50 off what I paid for my machine) My husband said "soon I am going to be owing you money"...thats the spirit!
Don't you just love the just out of the dryer crinkliness? (is that a word, I was sure it was, but spell check sure thinks it isn't)
1. Create six dutch pinwheels here
2. Assemble the 6 pinwheels according to quilt photo.
3. Add 2" brown stop borders
5. Add 6" outside borders
Finished quilt size 50 x 68
Now on the the fun stuff! Fresh Squeezed fabrics is giving away this stack of fat quarters that I used to make this quilt!

1 – 200 of 391 Newer› Newest»The singer Josh Groban would be my choice, definitely Bailey's cheesecake + Clotted cream ice cream & my Pfaff and an old curtain to make a handbag! Even on a desert island a girl needs a handbag! Judith/Rags to Bags xo
I'm a follower and I love to win
The first part of your question is too private ( you naughty girls!); cheesecake; and stitchery :)
I've been following to check what other naughty stuffs you girls are up to!
I love all the fat quarters !
maybe there would be an Adoption agency over ther?
I would take lots of fresh fruits and some embroidery!
Gorgeous Fresh Squeezed fabrics. Absolutely delicious

Since it HAS to be a celebrity and can't be my husband...I'd have to say Rob Lowe. Chocolate, lots of chocolate (mousse would be great). I'm with Rob Lowe and you think I might be crafting???? Okay, it is your story - quilting. If we are repopulating the earth all those babies are going to need quilts!
I am already a follower. :D
Me AND Rob. ;)
I like the bundles - Soul Blossoms for sure but I think the Beach Mod Circa 60 ORGANIC Collection, Monaluna for Birch Fabrics would fit in with the island.
Well... that's difficult to choose ;) My first thought would be Christian Bale, but than on the island you have to try to survive, so the best would be Bear Grylls :D:D
In addition I would take some embroidery and a chocolate.
I'm already a follower :)
My celebrity choice is easy :) Rob Thomas (lead singer of matchbox twenty and sexiest man alive) For dessert I would have to bring Ben and Jerry's Half Baked ice cream and I'd bring my Grandmother's Flower Garden project, although if I'm alone with Rob Thomas on an island repopulating the earth...I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be getting much sewing done. ;)
I'm a follower! Your finished quilt is absolutely beautiful!! Your quilting looks amazing.
How on earth am I supposed to pick something that I like more than others at Randi's shop?? Such great fabrics! I love the half yard bundles!
I'm a follower and I really like this quilt. I just added to my EQ7 library.
If I was on a desert island I would take lots of chocolate, a Scarlet and Gray quilt to hand piece and quilt, because that's the way I Blog, and Michael Weatherly from NCIS. He's cute and has weird sense of humor.
www.iquiltscarletandgray.blotspot.com
Not sure on the celebrity, I'd definitely take a Ritter's Peanut Butter Mountain (vanilla ice cream covered in peanut butter sauce with Reese's on top) and my sewing machine with a fun, long-lasting project!
I'm a follower!!
I really like all the fat quarter sets and half yard bundles. I think the Beach Mod Circa 60 ORGANIC Collection set could make a really fun quilt for a little boy!!
I like the Tailor Made Collection, Cosmo Cricket for Andover Fabrics.
Embarassingly enough, Adam Sandler, some cheesecake, and a quilt, of course. Clearly, the island contains both an electrical source and my sewing machine. :-P

Great quilt, I have yet to try stippling so I'm sure it would take longer than that for me!
Stranded: Definitely Jake Gyllenhal (mmmm), Can he be dessert too? hee hee, okay, some Peanut Butter CandyCakes from Tastycake and of course the quilts I"m working on.
I'm also a follower
I'm loving Randi's Dream On fq bundles!
I am already a follower!!
I love all the bundles, my fav is the Beach Mod bundle!
It would be Keith Urban, chocolate cheese cake, lots of fabric to make quilts.
I am a follower!
Bliss, I just love that fabric line.
I would take George Clooney, Phish Food ice cream, and quilting materials to enjoy (do I get margaritas, too?).
I am a follower!
Dream On fq bundles are wonderful!
Colin Firth is my desert island fella, and I might even share my chocolate cake with him! I would bring the applique that I am working on for a bed quilt that I'm making. Wow, this sounds like a lovely shipwreck. When can we start?
I am a follower!
I am crazy for the Through the Looking Glass fabric on the Japanese page!
I'd take James May!!! apple crumble and custard, and I could finally learn to crochet properly
Beautiful quilt! Beautiful fat quarters! If stranded on an island I'm not sure who I'd like to repopulate the earth with however I do know I would love chocolate wonder pudding every day and I'd have to bring my entire stash, sewing machine, etc., in order to survive!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Happy Stitching!

I would take my husband, he is a celebrity in my eyes :) We always love a little Chocolate Thunder from Down Under that they make at Outback and of course, I would take some quilts to work on.
Josh Turner for surrrreeee!!!!!
I follow your blog and just love it!
I'm a follower ... everyday but especially on Tuesdays.
I'm a huggge fan of cheesecake!
I'm a follower!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the Bliss!
i love all of the fat quarter bundle sets. Especially Nature walk and Innocent Crush
I'm in looove with the sould blossoms collection!
I'd want to take MacGyver - just in case or maybe Jack Bauer ... but that would be for safety. To repopulate? wow ... that's way harder.
I would bring my family's fav - chocolate cream roll (there IS refrigeration on this island - right?) and of course all 23 of my UFO's ... for when we're not repopulating.
On a deserted island I would take George Cloney, cupcakes,and I would probably be sewing or knitting palm leaves.
I'm a follower!
So much fabric to dig. It's a coin toss for me between the Dream On collection and Soul Blossoms.
David Ferrer. He's a tennis professional from Spain and if you haven't seen him you need to check him out. I'd probably make him sit still for a few years just to watch him breathe! I'd bring all my scraps w/needles and threads to make one quilt for us to snuggle in. Dessert would be Cherries Jubilee with candles for atmosphere. (It's a good thing my husband doesn't read blogs)
Follower, yes I am.
Sean Connery, white cake with cherry filling and cream cheese buttercream icing, does a jigsaw puzzle count as a craft? I would say a quilt, but not sure we have power and I am not a fan of hand sewing. :) Maybe a stamp project then.
I'm a follower!
I want some Breakfast at Tiffanys or Dream On From Urban Chiks.
hmmm I would like take Jude Low on this island and donuts- we have festival of donuts in Poland today so it's a good idea :)and of course my new quilt- safari.
I'm follower ! :)
I love Paisley in Blue, Delilah, Tanya Whelan for Free Spirit Fabrics- I'm crazy about paisleys
Cheesecake & hand quilting since I'd have so much time!
I would take Jake Gyllenhal, cheesecake, and some table runners to hand quilt.
I'm a follower...
I love the fat quarter set--5 pieces (1 1/4 yards total) from the Soul Blossoms Collection, Amy Butler for Rowan Fabrics
I love the Parisville FQ set in green... but there was lots of cute stuff!
Does it have to be a celebrity? I wouldn't want to have a whole earth reborn with such vain creatures! How about a random Jeopardy! champion instead? then there would at least be a better chance of intelligent offspring. Looks fade, brains are forever!
I'm also a follower. :) Thanks for the chances to win! Plus your quilt looks too dan cute- I, too, love the crinkliness!!!
Oh geez...what happy thoughts I get this morning! I am thinking Johnny Depp could help me out just fine ;P I would would bring my rag rug that I am working on since it seems to be taking me forever to braid all those strips of fabric together! and for dessert... hello! I already said I was bring Johnny :)
I am a follower, too.
Your quilt is gorgeous btw! I love the fabrics you chose!
I love the mixers fabric, from MetroCafe, what a cute apron that would make!
1. Richard Gere
2. Ice tea
3. No craft becos I'll be too busy
Such tough choices! I think I would take Jason Statham, some cherry cheesecake and who needs a project when you have Jason Statham to populate the world with?
I'm already a follower!
Since my hubby is not a celebrity, I would have to say Henry Rollins and myself could handle repopulating the Earth! This was a fun question.
I don't think I can pick just one thing from Randi's shop, she has a great selection! I love her fat quarter bundles though, definitely some prints in there that I haven't seen before.
I love the Kokka Through the Looking Glass in black. I forgot to say in my repopulating the earth comment that i would bring my current quilting project whichwill have over 1200 qtr triangles in when complete and some key lime pie.
Hmmmm, I would take Jake Gyllenhaal and we would have our fill of chocolate cake! And I don't think I would be able to focus on my quilting : )
I am a follower... I LOVE this fabric!!! Thanks for the chance!
Ohhh, love the Dream On line!
hhhhmmmm, as far as a celebrity I would like to be stranded with, I truly cannot think of one that I lust after. I would prefer to be stranded with husband! Boring, I know, but it's the truth!
Dessert - ice cream for sure!!
Craft - definitely a quilting project. I could always piece by hand. Gotta have my fabric, no matter what!
Oh yeah, I am a follower of this wonderful blog! :o)
HHmm..would I rather laugh with George Clooney or listen to Colin Firth' delicious accent? Decisions, decisions! Would pack the ultimate comfort dessert - chocolate chip cookies, and bring along my scraps and hand sewing supplies to piece a top.
I am a happy follower.
I love all the fabric bundles over at Randi's shop. The fabric bundle she is giving away is so yummy, as is the quilt you made.Gorgeous!!!
Well, let me see. Johnny Depp to repopulate the world and a lovely stack of Kaffe's fat quarters in blues, greens, and purples to make half-square triangles to make a lovely quilt top to cuddle under...repopulating, though pleasurable is going to be hard work...lol. A picnic with fresh strawberries, bananas and watermelon...
Pam
YES, I follow your lovely blog...love all the beautiful quilts!
hugz
Pam
I wouldn't want to repopulate the earth with him, but I wouldn't mind if Ryan Reynolds came and brought me chocolate candies and my quilting supplies..
At Randi's I found a bundle of Parisville that would make some lovely bags.
Oh, yes, and I follow your blog.
If I were stranded on a desert island it would have to be with Robert Redford (have had a crush on him for years!). The dessert would be Bumbleberry pie and my project would be a hand pieced Baltimore Album quilt top.
I am a regular follower. Thanks for the opportunity to enter your giveaway.
I hopped over to Randis and I really love the color assortment of the fat quarters...love the greens and blues. It's great the way the designers are mixed according to color...Kaffe Fassette, Heather Bailey, Moda, Amy Butler to name a few... Thanks
Pam
Love your quilt and the quilting!
Since I can't take my hubby, I would have to pick Sam Elliot (who could sit and read books to me all day long), donuts, and my sewing machine to make colorful quilts.
I'm a follower!
Hummm I would bring Gerard Butler, raspberry cheesecake, chocolate... and my current quilt project although being standed, I don't think I would do much sewing....
So much to select from, but I think the Soul Blossoms to make a new purse for Spring/Summer!
MY hubby! He may not be famous to the world, but he is famous to me :-) And Brownies or cheesecake would be my chose of dessert.
I popped over to Randi's shop and I really like the fat quarter set--4 pieces (1 yards total) from the Dream On Collection, Urban Chiks
I am already a follower. Thanks for the little tutorial :-) The quilt looks great!
Please pass this comment over if chosen for the giveaway. I'll let someone else win.
Wanted to tell you that I LOVE the job you did free-motioning that quilt. YAY you! Five hours for a piece that large is fast. I just finished FMQ work on my grandbaby's quilt and it took about 12 hours of machine work. Mine was loop-de-loops.
I lurk here... but just wanted to let you know what a beautiful job you did on the quilting. :-D)
Seth Rogan, yep he's my celebrity crush, I love him. He is just too funny which makes him so attractive, plus you don't want to repopulate the earth with someone dull and boring! :)
I follow
This probably sounds boring, but my husband is famous enough for me. We make such cute babies a whole world of them would be just right. Dessert? Probably ice cream and a lot of it. And, of course, as long as my sewing room was with me and there was a current bush to run the machine I would be perfectly content.
And I follow, and one of these days will be brave and submit a quilt.
A bit yes that great crinkliness!! And yes, I so enjoy following!
You did a wonderful job,you should be proud. I like your $50.00 theory--------think I will try that, although I don't know how to meander stitch. At $50.00 a quilt, I think I will learn.
Follower!
Jamie Oliver, Oreo Blizzard from DQ, a bunch of fabric hexagons and some thread to hand stitch a quilt!
My favourite thing in Randi's store is the Sherbet Pips Charm Set I bought last night!
And I follow your blog.
This quilt is beautiful!
What a beautiful quilt! You did an amazing job!
I doubt there is any celebrity I would want to be with...I don't watch tv much and really can't imagine being with anyone other than my hubby...so will have to pass on that part of the question...
As to dessert...I'd love a great cheesecake! I'll bring some strawberry topping too! and I'd have to have a sewing machine to sew a quilt!
I follow your blog! Thank you for so many chances to win!
I know I've been in this shop before on etsy! She has so much I can drool over! I really appreciate bundles of fabric, because you get a variety.
How can I choose just one?!?!?! =)
I guess I'm going to narrow it down to this Moda bundle...I hope it's as orange as I'm imagining...cause I love orange!
http://www.etsy.com/listing/57222788/fat-quarter-set-5-pieces-1-14-yards
Definitely a favorite shop!
I'd bring my husband (he's a celebrity to me), Nanaimo bars, and some knitting. But then again, I guess nothing knitted would be needed on a desert island. Maybe I'd learn to make grass skirts and coconut bras. ???
Could I have some Soul Blossoms, please? Thank you. ;)
The Bryant Park fat quarter collection is beautiful.
I am a follower.
A celebrity? I would be happily stranded with my hubby. I would be bringing my all time favorite Dreyers Peanut Buter ice cream, but then it would more than likely melt to a mushy mess. I would definitely bring either my knitting or stitchery project since it's handy.
Stranded would have to be Ty Pennington and he could design fabric with me!!! The desert would be Tuxedo Brownie cups. ANd my sewing machine.
I am a follower.
My answers to question, short and sweet:
Ty Pennington
cupcakes
hexies (making hexagons)
PS Thank you for the chance to win!
I am a follower :-)
I am wanting the 6 one-half yard pieces (3 yards total) from the Beach Mod Circa 60 ORGANIC Collection.
Mark Harmon
Oreo Cookies
Hexagons
Thanks for the great giveaway and sharing your cute quilt with us.
I'm now a follower. Thanks again.
If I were to get anything it from Fresh Squeezed Fabrics I'd but a Jelly Roll of Sherbet Pips.
Charlie Hunnam
Chocolate birthday cake
Hexies
I've been a follower.
I'm a follower....thanks!
I want some sherbet pips!
A celebrity? Is my husband a celebrity? No? Ok, then I choose Sam Elliot. Just the sound of his voice makes me weak in the knees.Dessert? Why Sam Elliot of course! Craft project? Who has time for crafting with Sam Elliot at hand?!
Following daily! Grin!
Does the fact that I think my hubby is a rockstar make him eligible? No? Then I would choose Johnny Depp to be stranded with. I would choose apple pie for my dessert and I would hope that that island has some electricity because I need my sewing machine to quilt with.=)
Following now.=)
Love that Bryant Park bundle though everything she has in her shop is awesome!
OK - Just spent a lot of time at Randi's shop and made a long list so how about a gift card? Lots of pretty things to choose from, but I may need the Breakfast at Tiffany's line the most. Thank you so much!
I am a follower! Have been for a while :)
If I were stranded on a desert island, I would choose Johnny Depp to repopulate the world, chocolate raspberry ganache cake to eat, and scrapbook to do.
It's hard to pick just one thing. Everything in her shop is sew beautiful! ;)
For now, I choose the apples and pears fabric in black.
And maybe Lilly in Pink, Dolce, Tanya Whelan and Grand Revival Design, Free Spirit.
And everything else in the shop!
Oops, you said just one.
I finally made it over to Randi's website. I really love Breakfast at Tiffanys. Thanks again for such a generous giveaway :-)
Medium Dot in Mineral, Beach Mod Circa 60, 100 percent cotton organic fabric, Monaluna for Birch Fabrics along with the entire line of Beach MOd!!
i follow your blog
right now charlie sheen would be a good guest on my island...seeing that he has tiger blood and all he might come in pretty useful!!
i would bring apple crips...i love that stuff! and i would bring some material and fiber filling for baby toys for our repopulation attempts!
Celebrity: James Franco (but not the way he was at the Oscars). Dessert: Peanut butter Pie! Craft Project: My sewing machine and a huge stash of fabric!
I'm a follower :)
I love the Bryant Park and Sherbet Pips in Randi's shop!
If I was stranded on a dessert island with Wentworth Millar from Prison Break I would gladly repopulate the world with him! I would bring my delicious Butterfinger Chocolate Cake (of course it would not cause me wot gain 10 pounds like it normally does!) and I would Bring my batik fabrics and the sewing machine to make the Foundation Paper Piecing Quilt, Stepping Stones!
I am a follower of your excellent blog!
i'd bring my viking sewing machine and a California king sized quilt of the hardest block you can imagine! a celebrity would be mark wahlberg, always loved marky-mark!
I'm a follower, love getting updates when you all are doing something fantastic. and fabric tuesdays are the best!
I checked out Randi's Fresh-Squezed Fabrics and I love the 1-1/2 yard bundle of grey and pink fabrics by Tammis Keefe Tribute Collection and Michael Miller Fabrics. I added her shop to my list of favorites!
Well, since my first answer of David Bowie isn't really socially acceptable, I will say David Boreanaz instead... keep it in the David family, you know?
I'd take dark chocolate (assuming, of course, that it wouldn't melt) because it's simple and delicious.
And I'd have to say some embroidery project, since there wouldn't be electricity to plug in on the island!
Of course I follow you! Love the blog.
I'm totally on a Sherbet Pips kick, so I'd take one of those Jelly Rolls she's got just laying around... ;)
I'm a follower!
Johnny Depp, death by chocolate dessert,my never ending hexie project.
I'm a follower. Thanks for a chance to win!
Love the Michael Miller dot fabric at Fresh-Squeezed Fabrics!
Beach Mod is my favorite. Thanks for a chance to win!
without a doubt i would pick john corbett. he is sooo dreamy! i would have to have lemon meringue pie for dessert. and my craft... i would want quilting of course... because we wouldn't need clothes if we were repopulating the earth just quilts!
i am a follower, i'm not afraid to admit it. ;) i love your blog!
Oh my. Liam Neeson please...*sigh*...wait, what was the rest of the question? ;)
Oh right, Reese Cup's. Lots of them. And my Cathedral Window quilt I'm hand-stitching. That'll take forever.

My choice from Randi's shop would be the Cloud 9 FQ bundle. Mmmm....!
I would bring chocolate covered strawberries and a quilting project. The first part will be left private.
I am a follower.
I love the Bliss line.
Ok desert island... I would hope that Gerard Butler would be the guy with peanut butter pie, although strawberry ice cream is a close second, and I would probably have to bring one of the quilts I am working on. Would be a great time to be determined enough to hand sew a whole quilt!
I'd take my husband--hey! he's a celebrity in our house!--dark chocolate covered strawberries, and scrapbooking. I am sooo far behind...
I *heart* Fresh Squeezed!! I've been on a Michael Miller kcik and would adore anything Strawberry fields!!!
Thanks for the fun giveaway!!
I'd pick Joshua Jackson, chocolate mousse, and a great big picnic quilt to work on :)

There sure are a lot of fabrics over at Randi's shop! I really like the Preservation Peony in Blueberry...haven't see in before...I know, I know, where have I been...
I'm a follower! I love this quilt so much, I even pinned the first dutch pinwheel tutorial.
okay, desert island. I would bring chocolate. Maybe a chocolate fountain so Matthew McConaughey and I could sit around and dip pineapples and marshmellows in it. Mmmm. Then of course I'd be working on my pineapple quilt!
