25% off Labor Day Sale
The first Monday in September is Labor Day in the US to honor and recognize the labor movement.
It is also another day that everyone seems to have a sale and I also have been taking part in one as all of my quilt patterns are on sale. I hope you pick one or two of your favorites and thank you!
Most shops are having Labor Day Sales so be sure and check out my links at the end of this post!
Fall Gatherings Quilt Projects
I really enjoy quilt projects made with colors that make me think of autumn. The Fall Gatherings collection from Island Batik is beautiful. You can get a fat quarter bundle of this collection at Missouri Star Quilt Company. ⭐⭐Just search for Fall Gatherings to find the fabrics.
Adventurous Applique Blog Hop
Our Island Batik ambassador challenge for September is the Adventurous Applique blog hop and I’ll be sharing my quilt on September 5th.
I’ll be using the Twilight collection that I shared in my Island Batik Ambassador Unboxing in July. Here is a sneak peek at my Island Batik Challenge quilt that you’ll see on Thursday.
Pieceful Baskets
In my August Sew Sampler Quilt Box from Fat Quarter Shop, there was this quilt block pattern. This is a 17½-inch square quilt block and a new one is included in each quilt box this year.
This is only my second box and I decided to use fabrics that have been in my stash for a long time. I have misplaced my July pattern but once I find it, I’ll make it too.
YouTube Videos
My challenge lately has been to create some videos on YouTube. Boy has this been a challenge! I am much more comfortable taking photos and writing a tutorial or pattern.
So far I have mainly been doing Unboxing Videos which means I’ve been doing some shopping. This has been fun and it is always fun to add to my stash!
I would love it if you would check out my channel!
Scattered Quilt
I always enjoy getting an email with a photo of a quilt that one of you have made with my patterns or tutorials. Just send me an email and include a photo.
Sue made this beautiful Scattered quilt for her daughter. What a great combinations of fabrics! Thank you for sharing Sue!
Save this for later!
I'll email you this post so you can come back to it later.
Don't worry, I promise not to spam you.
River Scraps
Linda shared her beautiful River Scraps quilt, this is a perfect quilt for your scraps! Thanks for sharing Linda!
Bitsy
Pam shared a photo of her dog Bitsy, she looks so much like our little Sadie. When I showed this photo to Builder Bob he teared up as it reminded him of his little buddy. Sadie adored him.
Here was our little Sadie sitting on my Bowtie table topper. They really look alike!

I think the River Scraps Quilt pattern is just what I needed to see to get going on using up some of my scraps. It is nice to do a simple quilt using what I have and get the satisfaction of a quick finished project. Thanks for the discount, too!
Our pets are always with us in our hearts.
Thanks Louise, you are so sweet!
Whew! So much information! Love all the quilts and really need to get moving on mine so I can try some of these! Had a lazy summer but these are so inspirational! Love to Rusty, we remember Sadie as well, such a sweetie.
Lazy summers are always fun and Sadie was a sweetie!
I am excited to see your next quilt! Looks beautiful! You are doing great with the videos. Keep going!
Thanks Louise!
Thank you for the pictures from other quilters- very inspirational.
Also appreciate seeing the Basket block from the Fat Qtr Sew Sampler. I signed up for this program because of you. I would have like the July one, but missed it, so was started with the August one you are showing now.
Many blessings for you and your family!
I’m so glad Beverly and hope you continue to like the boxes!
