Today is Day Three of the Wake Up to Kona Blog hop.
I am so excited to be sharing my projects with you. A big thank you to Carol and Madame Samm for all your hard work!
I decided to use my Kona solids to make a table topper as I think you can never have too many of them and this one really makes me think of Spring!
This glass mason jar that Bob bought me a few years ago and looks perfect sitting in the center.
I did a lot of free motion stitching around the flower petals and pebbles in the center.
I used my AccuQuilt Go Baby to cut the 3″ HSTs for the background piece….
and I also used it to cut the flower petals using the Flower Power die.
Since I had the Accuquilt dies out I decided to cut a few birds using my Birds die and stick them on a couple branches. It made a cute pillow. I can’t show you the back because….I decided to use a batik on the back instead of a Kona solid.
I just cut bias strips for the branches.
I think it is always fun to see what a project looks like before it is quilted….quite a bit different.
Thanks for stopping by and be sure and visit the other blogs that are taking part today!
These are so pretty! I especially love the birdie pillow! Solids are so fun and your quilting is beautiful.
Your creations are BEAUTIFUL, as usual. I just love the quilting you did on both of these. You sure are one talented lady! Thanks for sharing your creations.
Connie I just love love your table topper. It makes me ready for spring! Pillows are cute too.

Love your table topper. What die did you use for the flowers? Have searched the Accuquilt website but can't seem to find that die.
Your Topper & jar are definitely perfect together! Looove the Topper!!! Birdie Pillows are way fun too!
Wow, what a beautiful topper – I love the color combo over the pieced background. Nice setup for your machine quilting! Great pillow, too – so very cheery, don't you love your AccuQuilt cutter?
Oh my goodness, the pebbled inside of the lower is amazing!
The birdie pillow are adorable 😉 textilerecycler (at) yahoo (dot) com
Great table topper. The quilting on it is outstanding. I am slowly noticing how much the quilting is used to make the pattern "pop". The bird pillow just plain makes me happy! Thank you for sharing.
I agree, you can never have too many table toppers. I made a couple for my day too.
Yours came out really nice. I love your pillow too,( I made one too LOL)
Really nice Connie. I like them both.
WOW Connie!!!!!!! As always, I just LOVE seeing what you have made. Of course, you just had to use my favorite color again. LOL I really love the table topper and that jar is gorgeous. That is just beautiful.
Ooh you have the bird die? That's the one at the top of my list ……..as if I really need any new dies considering the pile of them I just bought last month, right? LOL
Really cute projects. I love the table topper. I always wonder if I would utilize the Accu-Cutter in order to make it a reasonable investment. I loved seeing you using it for so many shapes.
Your quilting is great and the flower and birds with the colors are beautiful.
Both of your projects are beautiful!
Pretty, pretty flower. I love the bright contrasting threads that add interest and texture. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, could I go for some spring right now!!! Your runner and pillow are both fabulous! The FMQing is fantastic!!!

What an admirably sweet flower. I love it and what great quilting you did on it. Your birds are equally as pretty. You just proved to me that I need to save my money foe a go-cutter.
Pretty table topper and great pillow Connie…love those birds (I think I'll have to get that Accuquilt die)!!!
The birds are adorable. I'm impressed with the veins on the leaves. Makes them look real. Great colors too.
I really love the applique project for the table, but the pillow is nice to..
Cute, cute, cute! I love these, Connie. The table topper (you really can't have too many) is gorgeous and definitely screams Spring. And the birds? They are wonderful. You can almost hear them singing…..
Some very pretty projects. I love the colours and the shapes you've used. The quilting on the cushion really suits it and takes it up a level. Love it!

Lovely work! Now, I want an Accuquilt,too. I love the springy table topper. Green and purple looks so great together, and the birds are just outstanding. What a great job!
Beautiful work! I always enjoy reading you blog & seeing your projects.
Both are so pretty! Nice work!
Nice job on the quilting! Love both of these pieces!
What a pretty table topper! And pillow, too. I received a Go Baby for Christmas but haven't bought any extra dies yet. I like the one you have for flowers, so I might search that one out. Ah, the possibilities!
Your work is always so beautiful. Love your projects.
Your table topper is stunning. I just LOVE those colors, and what a perfect match for that wonderful mason jar. It's nice to see the GO being used. Mine tends to sit in a corner and collect dust. This is the perfect inspiration for me to find it and put it to use! Love those bright birds on your pillows!
You can never have too many table toppers!
Your table runner does sing "Spring" and your pillow is my favourite so far in this hop!
Love your projects! So pretty, makes me wish spring was here! Thanks for sharing. vickise at gmail dot com

Love the vibrant colors in table topper! Great job!
Love your table topper and the pillow! I sure wish I could quilt like that. They are both beautiful!
You do such beautiful work, Connie. The table topper is lovely but I just adore the bird cushion.
I like the way you pieced the low volume colors for the background…makes it so much more interesting. Of course, the table topper center is great too. svonfumetti at yahoo dot com
Wow Connie…Your topper and pillow are gorgeous…love the quilting. That mason jar is pretty amazing too !
Oh Connie…this is fabulous!!!
Lovely! Your colours and designs have me thinking of Spring. :o)

Great ideas! It looks like maybe you are thinking about spring already…

Fantastic Connie! The flower came out wonderfully but I am swooning over those birds! Woohoo… And who knew using solids could be so exciting. Thanks so much for sharing… Hugs, Karen
Um, uh, WOW! Love your flower, the colours and the quilting are very striking. Thought you were done so continue scrolling down, and see such cute little birds. Now I'm not sure which one I prefer!
Both projects are lovely! I do like the birds.
I love both of your projects!
Great projects Connie! Your birds are really cute.
Love the appliqué. The fowler and background are great and original. Mary in Boston
Everything is looking very springy at your house! Love the table topper. What great quilting. The pillow is sew cute. Nice job!
Connie. That. Is. Awesome! Just absolutely beautiful. What a clever thing to do with those solids. At first they didn't seem solid, but that's because of your incredible, dimensional quilting. Kudos to you and to that die cutter. And those birds? Sheesh! Love them and the way you transformed the before to the after with your quilting. Thanks so much for the wonderful eye candy today.
I love your projects and they really make me long for spring time. The bird pillow is wonderful!
Wonderful projects, especially those sweet birds…so cute!
Both of your projects are stunning! I am not surprised that pillow is backed in batik. You couldn't help yourself! Those birds are sure some sweet tweets!
Those are both beautiful projects! I love the colors you have used and the quilting on both makes such an attractive addition. GREAT job.
I love your bird cushion
Hi Connie, I really REALLY love your flower and I think I have one of the bird dies, but my machine is packed away for now. I can't wait to unpack and let the fun begin!
they are both lovely 🙂
Ohhh cool Connie ( almost called you Bonnie- must have had Bonnie hunter on the brain) lovely flowers and love the birds…. all dies?? off to a great start for the 15th 😉
Adorable pillow! And the table topper…wow!!! The quilting sets both of them off perfectly!
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! I love how you used a variety of solids in the background and the quilting to give texture to the solids. Fabulous!
Once again you provided us with amazing projects, make me wish it were Spring. I love your color choices and the quilting is perfect. It's always so much fun to see the before quilting and after……such a difference!
Love the way you have used these solids! I really like your table topper and the two tone background. Wonderful quilting as well.
You have made two wonderful projects with amazing quilting. My favorite is the pillow and you are right the quilting is like icing on a cake, it really make the difference.
Thanks for sharing your creativity and being part of this hop
Both of your projects are beautiful, bright, and cheery! I'm loving the birds the best! The machine applique really makes the colors pop. Job well done.
They are both so beautiful! The quilting adds so much to the projects – thank you for sharing the before and after 🙂
Lovely table runner, Connie. I love the 2 color background and the beautiful quilting. The pillow is as beautiful – I love how you outlined the birds with dark color thread. A treat for the eye.
The birds are adorable! The darker applique stitch around the edge gives them such character. And, I really like the colors that you chose for your flower on the table topper.
Fantastic table topper and pillow! Your machine quilting is amazing. Thank you for sharing.
They are both just so gorgeous! That flower is beautiful and vibrant in the Kona solids…wow! I really need to use my AccuQuilt cutter more and I'm sure I need those dies! Thanks for hopping with us. :O)
Your table quilt is stunning, Connie! I love the quilting. It gives texture that makes the leaves look almost real. The pillow is adorable. Thanks, as always, for an inspiring post … 🙂 Pat
Connie, these pieces are so beautiful. You quilting just brings them to life. You make my heart sing for spring!
Connie I really love how you used the quilting to bring out the character of your quilt and pillow. I hope to achieve that level of artistic talent someday, it's hard to remind myself I won't be perfect at it the first time around. And they are such happy projects too! Thank you!

Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.
What a bright and fun table topper for such a frigid time for many of us. And the birds, oh my heart – love this pillow!!
I don't know which project I like better – they are both so appealing. I love that you appliqued on top of a pieced background, though.
