Ohhhhhh I am feeling the spring here in Houston!! So much so that I've been spring cleaning and sewing up a storm. You know how you feel when you start organizing things and cleaning out unwanted messes and just get things all ready to start a bunch of new projects? That was me the last month!!

Today, I get to reveal another fun project I finished up at the end of March! Yay!!

Beautiful Carrie Bloomston of Such Designs has a new gorgeous fabric collection coming out in July called Paint!!! She has grabbed a few of us to help show off her stunning new line!! And you know I was excited to use this line…

Last year, Carrie's line, Collage, was an instant hit in the quilting world, and I had the privilege to work with it!! (See this post here all about that!) And one of the things that really inspired me while pattern-testing her Watercolor Quilt pattern was Carrie's free spirited design. 

So, this year, after seeing her fabrics, I kept thinking of seasons. I drew out some fun art quilt designs and summer kept speaking to me!! But how would I depict summer??

Ohhhh the tire swing!! Pure, unadulterated, wild, and free fun!! That is summer to me!

I used raw edged applique to create this fun quilt, just as Carrie did with her Watercolor Quilt! 

My darling friend and local long-arm quilter, Pam "Quiltaholic" Biswas quilted this fun quilt for me.

Such fun flowers printed on Carrie's fabric!! I cut a few of them on and appliqued them onto the scene…perfect for Houston summers…
