I just love this hop... not that I don't love them all, but this one really caught my attention! A personal stamp, I can design my very own stamp, what fun!
A big round of applause to our infamous Madame Samm, who's creativity tops the charts, and of course our favorite blog hop mom, Thearica from Pig Tales and Quilts. You girls have no idea just how much we all love you!
For those who know me, you knew my stamp would have a moose on it...and you are soooooo right! After all, is there really anything else??? LOL!!
He is another of those adorable Whipper Snapper designs. Is his face, just the about sweetest thing you have ever seen? Although I have to say, I've not met many moose with sweet dispositions. :-)
My new kitchen needed a new trivet, and this was just perfect!
Remember those trivet tux's I did a few years ago? These fit over ceramic tiles and are removable so they can easily be washed. It's such a great way to add a little zing to your kitchen. For those who are new to my blog, you can find the tutorial right here...

I used a 12" tile for this, but the fun thing is, they are so versatile that you can use any size your little heart desires. My new floor is done in 6"x24" tiles...hummmm now that would make an interesting trivet. I'm gonna have to give that one a try :-)
Give a way time...
It's summer here in the USA, and so much to do, that sometimes quilting takes a back seat. So I have this little quilt pattern to give a way.
Fast, fun and easy. Best of all, it would make a fabulous picnic throw.
Just leave me a comment telling me about your favorite summer time fun!
I'll be picking a winner on July 3rd, the last day of our hop!
Till then, be sure to stop in and see everyone's creations.
Enjoy!!
Here is today's lineup.
I am off to see what fun "stamps" they have created!
See you there.

My favorite summer thing is to spend time with my family, especially now when my boys are studying at the university far away.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea for your moose stamp, a trivet cover! My favorite thing about summer is staying indoors and stitching, not a lover of heat, LOL! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis is a stamp which will always bring a big smile when looking at! I like it. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteThat is one cute moose. My favorite summer activity is walking my dogs.
ReplyDeleteAdorable moose !
ReplyDeleteI'm in Moose Love! So absolutely adorable! Cute Cute Cute! My favorite summer activity? Hmmm....has to be eating our fresh veggies from our garden (knew I could work 'food' into the answer somehow! haha). Thanks for the fun!
ReplyDeleteJust simply adore the moose and to make a trivet with it was a wonderful idea..thanks for the link. My favorite summer pastime I would ave to say, and don't laugh is eating all the wonderful fruits and veggies that we don't have during the winter months....just love it....have a great day.
ReplyDeleteYour moose is so cute, but the Swedish mooses I have seen IRL are not cute, they are so big. Your stamp is adorable and a great idea to make a trivet out of it. My favorite doing in summer is to sit on my balcony eating strawberries and other juicy fruits that are ripening during summer.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your creativity. Summer greetings from me in Sweden
Britt-Inger
Very clever!
ReplyDeleteThat`s a cutie moose! Great stamp and trivet!
ReplyDeleteAnother cute moose. Great job!
ReplyDeleteYour stamp is so unique and creative. I love it. Thanks for hoping today
ReplyDeleteYour moose is just the BEST! Made me smile. That is a wonderful trivet and you did a fabulous job! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love it!! And of course it is perfect for you.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sewing.
Now, can a photo of your moose be transferred onto an envelope? I think it would look so cool!
He is soooo sweet!!! Very clever idea for covering trivets!
ReplyDeleteLove your moose as always! Great job.
ReplyDeleteFabulous Moose stamp. I knew you would incorporate a moose into this...lol...Moose is so cute on his hot pad. Great job. I love Summer cause I can get in my yard and work to my hearts content without freezing to death. And I love to see everthing so green alive and growing. I love to feel the sun on my skin.
ReplyDeleteWonderful moose stamp, and a great idea to use it as a trivet!
ReplyDeleteWell of course you had a moose project! Moose are just the cutest subjects whether they are "friendly" or not! Love your idea with putting the tile inside. As always, thanks for sharing your project and ideas!
ReplyDeleteOh I just love your stamp!!!! I like to stroll out around the pond in the summer and watch the goldfish.
ReplyDeletethat moose is SEW cute...... adorable...
ReplyDeleteI don't want the pattern- I'm de-stashing too :-) so let someone else win it if you accidentally pick my #
GREAT job!!! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute moose! I love him, I also love whippersnapper designs! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt would not be a stamp if it did not have your signature moose on it. Love it.
ReplyDeleteOh my Word!! That is just so great!! and a trivet cover too!!....Wow! thanks so much!! we live in a cabin....I just have to make a moose trivet now!!
ReplyDeleteI love to get up early and relax on our back deck which faces east and watch the sun come up with a fresh cup of coffee. It is so quiet and peaceful at that time of the day, before all the daily hustle and bustle invades. I love your stamp quilt. It is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletehow cute is he! I live in a city, but the area I'm in is not far from wooded country. Moose occasionally come down to visit and I've seen them twice a block from my apartment. They are great animals.
ReplyDeleteI just checked out your tutorial on the trivet--that is such a cool idea! Your moose is adorable and really has a cute face for such a grumpy creature (though I've never even met a moose at all.) Love the colors!
ReplyDelete<3 Love the Moose! <3 Sew cute ... (real moose,impressively large creatures, but not so cute) ... This is just the "signature" stamp for you. Thanks for the tutorial ... :) Pat
ReplyDeleteJust perfect! We are very familiar with moose here in Newfoundland. Lots of car accidents on the highway due to these critters roaming around. I do like the idea of making a trivet holder. Must put it on my to-do list. Thanks
ReplyDeleteThat moose is a beauty :) Love the trivet idea :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable stamp! The moose is super cute!
ReplyDeleteCute and adorable Moose, I'm still wanting to see one for real, hopefully some day. Anyways, love your trivet idea! What a wonderful way to be creative as well as practical with those tile trivets. I'll be watching to see if you make a banquet sized one next. lol.
ReplyDeleteJane
Your moose is adorable. Trivet covers. What a great idea. I am trying to pick up the pace on using up my stash. That pattern could be the ticket.
ReplyDeleteOf coarse, a cute moose would be on your Stamp! Great idea for Trivet covers. I think I may need to make some of these! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute moose trivet! Congrats on being one of the chosen! Thanks for the tut link and the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteHow could I not smile when looking at your stamp. Your moose is the cutest. My favorite summertime fun? I like my garden and the flowers growing there the best.
ReplyDeleteYou and your Moose and Thearica and her Pigs should get together and do an moose and pig project, lol. Your moose is cute as can be and the trivet is a wonderful idea! Thanks for the tutorial. I will be making some of those this year for gifts...but sorry mine won't have a moose on it, lol.
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely darling!!! It is also perfect for you. My favorite summertime fun is family BBQs.
ReplyDeleteAlways love the moose! nice work.

ReplyDeleteHow sweet, Congratulations on getting in the top two! It deserves "The top". And making a trivet, great idea.
ReplyDeleteYes, it would have been a major disappointment if your stamp was Mooseless. This one is another cutie pie. Great job and great idea to use it as a trivet. You can see the adorable face all the time.
ReplyDeleteI love him! I would like to give him a moose squeeze. Not sure what that is but I would do it :)

I knew you would have a moose and it is really cute. Great idea to use it with the tiles too.
ReplyDeleteLove your Moosestamp. So cute. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteFrederika
Very nice. Love the little moose. Thanks for the give away. It's a cute little pattern.
ReplyDeleteMy son in law loves anything with a moose on it and your little moose atamp is so cute. I love spending time with my five granschildren during summer break.
ReplyDeleteOh he is just so adorable and what a neat idea the trivet is and I love the Polka Dot Fabric. Love to go to the beach and travel in summer now my children are adult I have more time to quilt.
ReplyDeleteYour moose is just adorable! Congrats on being a top pick of the day!! My summer is usually filled with projects to do around the house.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love your stamp trivet. I'm into the rustic, primitive look here in my PA home. Thank you for the tutorial and also for the chance to win your giveaway. My favorite thing to do in the summer is to spend my time outside gardening, or going to classic car shows with my hubby. As long as I'm outside, I'm happy!! Winter is too long in NW PA.
ReplyDeleteMuch too cute and useful too. It looks like a real stamp. USPS needs too see it. I'll check the tut--it happened before I was a follower.
ReplyDeleteOf course you made a moose stamp. He is adorable! My favorite so far. I love the trivet idea too!
ReplyDeletehmm how did I know I'd find a moose over here? ooh and such a cutie! love it. oh and my favorite summer time thing- besides going to the beach ( which is difficult since I live in northern Illinois) is Vacation Bible School! its coming up in two weeks and this year the theme is Diner Disaster. I am so excited!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree - adorable !!
ReplyDeleteLove your trivet. The moose is adorable. Great job!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great addition to your moose collection. I would really love to make a trivet cover--maybe after the next hop. LOL I love it when my granddaughters come for a week in the summer along with their mom and dad, when he doesn't have to work. This week, we have baked pies, made homemade ice cream, made homemade chicken and noodles, made water bottle carriers, made tulip baskets, made pillow cases, and decorated bird houses. We still have 3 days to go! Oh, I forgot to mention the wiener roast and the fact that they got to go to quilt club with me. Great fun!
ReplyDeleteI loved that Moose! That is a great trivet!
ReplyDeleteyour trivet turned out sooo cute!! this summer I am taking my AZ grands to visit their CA grands. ages 5, 7 and 10. by myself..... wish me luck. the beach will be included and movies outside!
ReplyDeleteI love your moose trivet! It is sooo cute.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your stamp!!! And what a cool idea to cover a tile and make a trivet!!
ReplyDeleteI love your Moose and the fabric you choose is so pretty. I love the black polka dots. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove your Moose and tile trivet. What a great idea! Thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!
I love your moose! Great job! My favourite summer fun is hanging by the pool (someone else's ;) ) with the kids. :) Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteLove the moose. We don't have those in PA! My favorite fun in the summer is going to grannies and BBQ'ing.
ReplyDeleteMOOSE! Love him! Where is mine?
ReplyDeleteI love how you got the shading just right on the moose's underbelly (is that correct grammar?) You never disappoint, Joan! I am not familiar with your trivet tux but will go check it out.
ReplyDeleteAs for the giveaway, it is one that I already have in my library and intend to use for a child's pro bono quilt though I drew it as a rectangular after I bought it since most kids are not square, LOL.
Love your stamp, I am off to check out your tutorial.
ReplyDeleteYour stamp is stunning. I would be shocked if it didn't have a moose on it-lol! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable little moose. I like to go to garage sales in the summer.
ReplyDelete(smjohns63 at yahoo dot com)
I, for one, would have been disappointed if your stamp din't have a moose!! He's adorable. Thanks for the heads up on the tile trivet idea and tut; I'm headed there to check it out - thanks. I love bicycling and boating in the lovely summer weather.
ReplyDeleteAnother fabulous piece Joan! This is my daughters favorite one. Your moose is just the cutest and congrats on being in the top two!
ReplyDeleteGreat Idea for the fabric trivet. I'm going to make 6 for my quilt show meet up the end of July. Guess you could say quilting is my summer time fun, but then it's my all season fun.
ReplyDeleteI just saw this as one of the day's winners at Mdme Samm's site and knew immediately who made it. So cute. Congrats on the win.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I will have any summer fun until the second weekend in Sept!! That's the outdoor quilt show in Hill City SD.
