Sunshine blog hop

Hello, and welcome to my blog,

It's been a great few days of glorious Sunshine projects. Many thanks to Carla and her wonderful blog hops.

"Sunshine on my shoulders, makes me happy..."

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine..."

"I'm walking on sunshine... and don't it feel good!"

"It's going to be a bright, bright, sunshiny day"

"Here comes the sun, do-da-do-da... and I say, it's alright..."

" Good day sun shine, Good day sun shine..."

There are lots and lots of songs about sunshine and the sun. Sunshine makes you feel good, it brings warmth and growth, gives you free Vitamin D ;) I hope these projects of mine make you smile and feel good too.

I made this lone star not long ago. You can read about it here.

When I was picking out colors for a mystery quilt my quilt forum did in May, this beautiful butterfly fabric was one of my picks.

Here's the mystery quilt top. It's hard to see the butterflies, but they are there ;)

And while I was busy choosing fabrics for this quilt, Carla announced the Stitching Sunshine blog hop.

And I knew that I needed to use those butterflies with that Lone star and make a quilt with it.

This imagine popped into my head when I saw the word 'sunshine' and I had to figure out how to bring that image out.

I wanted to make the quilt bigger, but I ran out of fabrics and I'm not sure what that I could match the gray, it doesn't have a name on the selvedge.

And a few weeks later, my forum had a virtual camp week. That was a lot of fun. Games, recipes, a small mystery quilt, and lots of chat. I again ended up picking something yellow.

So lots of yellow, sunshine-y goodness being sewn lately. I hope you've enjoyed looking at my projects. Please be sure and visit the other blogs and see the wonderful creations that have been made.
