Some days life feels like your stuck in a jungle, doesn't it?
Well, put those worries away and sit back and enjoy the lighter side of things.
My project is called
"It's a Jungle Out There" by Angies Bits and Pieces.
These guys were traced onto fusible a very very long time ago. I'm so glad these hops give me a reason to get them out of the project pile and into the completion pile!
These bright and cheery critters, just make me smile.
The border was some serious scrap busting. When you don't have enough fabric, you have to become very creative.
I'm glad I kept all those small scraps. Without them I would have never been able to make the little churn dash blocks needed for the length and width. Some people say I'm crazy, but it's times like this, that I am glad I never throw away anything.
The quilting was done with a pantograph called "Beau Jangles" from Urban Elementz.
It's really fast and fun to stitch out.
I had a little adventure last weekend that reminded me of a jungle, of sorts.
15 acres of sunflowers and wild flowers.
What a great time walking through the fields, cutting flowers for our buckets.
Brother was happy riding the tractor, his new favorite word right now!
It was unicorn day and my little sweet pea had a great time.
We all brought home beautiful arrangements.
Now, go visit my fellow bloggers and see what's roaming around in their jungle.

Next month...
I will be back and hosting the "Bee Kind" blog hop.
Challenge...September is the time to remember that a little kindness
goes a long way. Share your “kind” projects. Your favorite charity project, a
free online pattern or anything that shows you spread a little kindness,
everywhere you go. But that's not all, anything with a Bee on it, fits this challenge!
Shoot me an email if you want to play along!
til next time...
Keep on Stitchin'

The critters and your quilt are so adorable, and the border is awesome!
ReplyDeletePerfect quilt for the blog hop, Joan. I love sunflowers and looks like it was a fun time. I remember growing lots of sunflower varieties, like those fuzzy Teddy Bear sunflowers, which are quite different from the regular looking ones. I even grew a short sunflower that was called, "Mickey Mouse", because it was just a couple inches high with a flower head about the size of my hand. Never saw those seeds again after I grew them. I would grow them now if I could find them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great finish! The animals are so cute, what child wouldn't love to curl up in it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun excursion into the sunflowers!! Every single one of those critters on the quilt - really adorable!!
ReplyDeleteawwww - another really cute project that someone will love. A little early for sunflowers here quite yet but soon (perhaps they're out there but I just haven't seen them).
ReplyDeleteAdorable, your quilt is pretty special too.
ReplyDeleteAdorable project. I think I used the same monkey! Love the sunflowers and your family pictures!
ReplyDeleteOh Joan, what jungly-goodness you have been up to! Yes, keeping all those beautiful scraps help us use those sometimes dim creative corners of our minds so we can use them! Churn dash blocks to the rescue. The fusible appliques make the cutest quilt for some little cutie to wrap up in. Seeing those sunflowers make me wanna take a day trip to find a field and do some picking!
ReplyDeleteYour jungle is too cute to be scary with such fun animals. Of course, I love that monkey! You have such fun family adventures and good times. Beautiful sunflowers! Thanks for sharing and for all you do in my jungle!
ReplyDeleteSO cute!

The sunflower field looks amazing! I can imagine the grandies having a wonderful time.
Oh my, this is just adorable, Joan! Those babies are growing up so quickly! Love the photos in the sunflower field. Our grands and daughter go to the sunflower field while they are out of school in the summer. It's a beautiful place and I love seeing the sunflowers. Great quilt for this hop!!
ReplyDeleteThose animals are so fun! The border fabric is perfect for them all!
