Butter & Marmalade - Bloggers Quilt Festival

Amy's Creative Side

 I just found out about the Blogger's Quilt Festival from my extremely talented blog friend Rachaeldaisy  of  Blue Mountain Daisy. She has an entry in the quilt festival that you can check out here 

Thanks Amy, this is a great thing you do ! ..... AND

 thank you for stopping by to have a look around More Stars in Comanche. 

This is my photography entry  #11

 BUTTER & MARMALADE
I love all the fabrics Bonnie and Camille design, Marmalade was no exception.
The Dresden is one of my favorite patterns of all time.
I machine appliqued it, which equal, a peiceful easy feeling for me.
And the quilting as you can see...... is nothing short of amazing !

I wanted you to see this photograph as well. Look at the beautiful view beyond my Butter & Marmalade. 

We have a 10 acre trap just out the front door that is a sea of orange and white flowers right now.

Happy Dance !

Look What I Have !

I've been walking the 1 1/2 miles to the mailbox and back everyday

 to see if my prize was here yet. (I need the exercise).

Yesterday the FedEx man brought my copy of 15 Minutes of Play   that I won from Rachaeldaisy . (Who happens to have a beautiful quilt on page 32 in the book.)

 I did a Happy Dance I was so excited!

 Rachaeldaisy participated in the book blog hop. She had 15 reasons why this was a "must have" book. You were to comment on the reason that fit you the best. 

 I  left my comment the very last day, almost the very last hour ! This is the reason I chose out of the 15 for wanting the book.....

7) Freedom! Rather than patterns Victoria gives challenges as a starting point. It's not all about having the right amount of yardage, or particular colors. It's about freedom for you and the fabrics you have  to just go for it and see where you go.

I am such a planner, a this, goes with this, goes with this, I need this many yards, this many .......,  this much...... ,kind of person.

A Happy Girl !

Most Captivating !

I've already decided which method I'm going to try.

 "Sew" be on the look out over the next few months to see if I can just go for it !

Have a wonderful day and may God Bless YOU.
