I have virtually met so many wonderful people since starting to quilt a few years ago. One of those special people is Frances Newcombe. We have never met in person, but have chatted online, with texts and on the phone a few times!! She has such a passion for design and wants to create fabrics that will inspire!! And wow what a line she created !!!
I was so excited when Frances asked me to be a part of her Safari Moon Blog Hop.
To be given free rain to just have fun and make some projects to show off her great fabric was freeing and just a little frightening...lol
Thanks Frances and all the other ladies in the Blog Hop, it is a privileged to be in such great company!!! I am having a blast!
For everyone stopping by to hopefully be inspired, read to the end of the post, because I was able to find another great give away!!
Also don't forget to leave a comment at Frances Blog everyday telling her what you enjoyed the most from that days post, to be entered into the Blog Hops grand prize draw for a
Safari Moon FQ Bundle.
Draw to be held at the end of the Hop.

ReplyDeleteWow!! Amazing job! All of your creations are beautifully done!

I've just started sewing and have already developed extreme fabric envy :) I've noticed on Instagram this quilted cargo duffle that would be an excellent project with these - later down the line, of course!
ReplyDeleteI love the sewtogetherbag but first need to try inserting zips one at a time. The super large shoo really showcases this lush fabric
ReplyDeleteLove your projects! Would be awesome to win the pattern. Thanks for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteGreat projects - I'd love to make a giant shoo fly quilt!
ReplyDeleteA giant shoo fly is the perfect way to showcase these really fun prints! That bag is fabulous! but I might be a little intimidated with all those zippers!
ReplyDeleteI keep seeing this Sew Together bag all over the internet and it looks fabulous with Safari Moon! I may just have to pair those two myself.
ReplyDeletewould love to try something new
ReplyDeleteI would want to make that quilt! It is fabulous. And I really need a Sew Together Bag!

ReplyDeleteIf I won that bundle I would have to make a quilt with big blocks, similar to yours...or else make one that looks like the back of yours - it is just amazing!!! Also, I've had my eye on that Sew Together pattern for.like.ever. It's time I made one!
ReplyDeleteSandy, I can't thank you enough for making all these fantastic projects. They are all so wonderful and the quilt is spectacular, I can't believe all the work you did and the straight line quilting!!! Anyhow thank you so much for making this Blog hop a blast and for being my dear friend and teaching me about blogging along the way! I am so happy I met you and look forward to a wonderful friendship along the way! xo and lots of love! Couldn't wait till your day!!!!
ReplyDeleteId love to try a quilt with this line.
ReplyDeleteWow, thank you for sharing so many cool projects! I would make a quilt, probably for my nephew. He loves Zebras.
ReplyDeleteJust loved the cup cozies! I'll be making a dozen or so for the gals at retreat - perfect surprise gift to leave on their machines after a marathon session of quilting until the wee hours of the morning - just to get up and do it all over again.
ReplyDeleteI'd make a HST quilt with some solids that coordinate with the Safari Moon prints.
ReplyDeleteI have been dying to make something with a lone star pattern and I think it would look great with this fabric
ReplyDeleteYou sure have been busy. Love the quilt and that little bag is adorable!
ReplyDeleteOops forgot to add, I have been wanting to make a swoon quilt, so maybe I would use the grand prize for that if I won.
DeleteIf I should be lucky enough to win I would make a lap quilt to give as a Christmas gift. One of my sisters would be thrilled with it, I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteWe until I saw your Sew Together Bag I was planning to make a quilt but now I will have to make both! How do you manage to sew so much, I am impressed!
ReplyDeleteLove the cup cozy. I might have to take up drinking coffee again!
ReplyDeleteI love the this mutliple pouch bag and have been eyeing the pattern for quite some time! And would love to make one with this line of fabrics

My daughter wants a floor pillow for her room and the colors work perfectly. Thanks for the great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI finally remembered to come to your blog and see everything you made for the blog hop! SOOO awesome! I definitely want to make that Shoo Fly quilt, and the Sew Together Bag! I'm actually heading over to Craftsy to buy the pattern now!
ReplyDeleteAs always, fantastic job! That fabric is gorgeous, and your work is too!
Great projects and oversized blocks make for quick quilts.. I love them.
ReplyDeleteYeah for more patterns and making more stuff! Cute things in your pics. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWow! 3' blocks - that is huge and wonderful. I love the quilt! Great job.
ReplyDeleteI Love a lot of the quilts and projects but that multi section bag really speaks to me. I need that in my purse to keep organized!
ReplyDeleteBarb@Witsend
I would love to make a quilt! veeveebug@aol.com
ReplyDeleteI am into all things bag and pouches, but would also want to try and sew quilts.
ReplyDeleteI would love to make either a bag pattern I have, or a skirt for my daughter (who wants to live in dresses)
ReplyDeleteI would like to make a quilt with big blocks to show off the fabrics. Your bag is quite a masterpiece!
ReplyDeleteI think I would attempt to make your bag. It is stunning. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI would make a quilt, but I would save some for that multiple pouch! Thanks so much for mentioning that! I had seen it once, and then lost the link to it and couldn't remember where I'd seen it. Oh boy. I have to buy that one for sure, unless I get luck and WIN IT!
ReplyDeleteIt would have to be awesome to showcase the amazing fabric. Perhaps an equilateral triangle quilt. There is a really good mix of colours and saturated prints / low volume that I think it would look great.
ReplyDeleteI love bags & pouches with lots of pockets, this one is great! I can see my English paper piecing being very at home in there. The possible fabric combinations are mind boggling! Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteLove the multi section pouch, I think I need one!
ReplyDeletethat giant shoo fly is amazing! I really love the multi-pouch bag and that would be first on my list of makes if I had some Safari Moon
ReplyDeleteIts so beautiful!! I nned to make this bag
ReplyDeleteLarge block quilt to show off all the fabrics is what I would make
ReplyDeleteMy niece loves zebras so I would make her a quilt to show off these beautiful fabrics, especially the zebra print.
ReplyDeleteI'd make a churn dash quilt, it's one of my favourite blocks
ReplyDeleteWould have to be a large block to show off the busy pattern!
ReplyDeleteI would make an Art Quilt..
ReplyDeleteIt looks great in the Sew Together Bag, so that!
ReplyDeleteI love the bag with all the compartments, just thinking about what I could put into each one. Yummy
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabrics! First, I'd make a baby quilt. Then a tote bag, if there's enough fabric leftover from the quilt, even if only enough for accenting the bag. -- soparkaveataoldotcom
ReplyDeleteI'd love to make a table runner with this!
