The Adventures of...Color it Red Blog Hop

Welcome to my day of the "Color It Red" blog hop.

When Carol announced this hop, all I could think, was...

I red read the book...now what do I do?

What way do I go, just where do I start...

Then I took this advise...Begin at the beginning

(no look of surprise on faces, I see)

LOL!!

 ...and go on till you come to the end: then Stop!

Yes I was down the rabbit hole, once I started on this 

PIG (project in grocery sack)!

It's been in that sack since 2015. Complete with the fabrics to use.

Why oh why, do things get so buried?

Blog hops help me get projects back on track...so thank you Carol.

"Down the Rabbit Hole"

This 49" x 52" quilt speaks to my soul.

LOL!!

 (Tells you a lot doesn't it?)

I'm an "Alice in Wonderland" junkie!

After all, who wouldn't fall in love with sweet little Alice.

So grab yourself a cuppa...

...unlock your imagination

and join the tea party!

Meet the Cheshire Cat,

 who tries to be logical and explain wonderland's craziness.

The Queen on Hearts who wants to behead everyone...

The very impolite, Mad Hatter who loves to frustrate.

White Rabbit, so focused on time.

 Caterpillar, who sit's on his mushroom and smokes from a hookah.

(a drug addict before his time)

hahaha

The Knave of Spades

Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum

The Knave of Hearts...

They are all here, to play!

This fun pattern is from Angie Padilla. You can find it right

HERE

A big thanks to "Hobbs" for providing me with their 100% Wool batting.

I love the loft, a wool batting gives a project.

In skipping through "Wonderland", it reminded me, 

I started these cross stitch designs years ago.

My "White Rabbit", hasn't done a good job of reminding me of time, it seems...

...I do hope to get back to the "Wonderland" gang, soon!

If your a counted cross stitch lover, you can find these patterns from Brooks Books

HERE

along with loads of other incredible designs.

Cough cough...and no it's not from a Hookah, I may have the entire line of the

 "Wizard of Oz" to stitch, too!

On that note...

Thank you Carol for bringing out the RED in all of us!

Please visit my fellow bloggers today, and check out what's coloring their world RED.

National Sweater Day

Feb 6 is National Sweater Day 

 I'm having so much fun, putting together blocks for my 

I love finding all the clip art, to create the daily blocks.

 But this particular one, really stopped me in my tracks.

The perfect design, the perfect scrap of fabric that's been in my stash for years...

It's making me wish I had a sweater like this!

I've had a lot of questions on this project.

The blocks are 8" x 10"

They are individually bound and won't be going into any quilt.

I've sandwiched the front and back to a stiff bowl fabric, so they are more like,

really big playing cards! I think they will be fun to page through, in years to come. 

 Who knows, maybe a grandchild 

will have fun learning and playing with them too.

Stash busting...some might even call it trash busting!

This is what happens when you just can't part, 

with even a scrap of "Island Batik" fabric.

While many would have made dog beds, or thrown it in the trash, I saved it. 

It's amazing what you can do with these little scraps.

LOL!!

And those shelves and drawers of fabrics that I just had to have...

well, hopefully these blocks will make some kind of a dent.

Do you want to play along?

Please feel free to jump in...

You can find a number of websites showing the Silly Holidays for the year.

One of my favorites is "Brownielocks".

It doesn't even have to be silly holiday related. 

How about something, that just makes us laugh.

You can post it on Facebook or Instagram with the #dailygigglefest or #365sillyholidays

You can even email it to me and I will post it here on my blog.

We want to have 365 reasons to smile in 2020.

OOPS...it's leap year...make that 366!

Follow me on Instagram or Facebook to see the blocks daily!
