Ivory Spring 
Fabulous quilts! I have been working on 2 quilts for my granddaughters.
Love your pattern with the blues !
I love the fabric. It would be great for a collage-type wall art quilt! I just finished a small quilt for my grandson’s teddy bear 😊, and started a twin size for my youngest granddaughter using novelty fabrics. Thanks for sharing!
In addition to several quilts I’ve been making bucket hats this summer! I can’t stop – they are so cute!!
Pretty fabric makes beautiful quilts! I have been making wheelchair quilts for a local long term care home.
I finished two quilt tops, and was working on UFOs until I broke my foot! Now I’m just playing with small handwork until I can stop elevating my foot. Lesson learned…ALWAYS have an interesting hand work project ready!
The Scissors and Spools quilt is so perfect in Pat’s fabric! I love the strawberry design, too, but those spools make me so happy!
Christmas stockings for a church who sends them to Elder care.
I have been dealing with health issues most of the summer so far! However a small group of women meet once a week for some hand sewing(whatever you want to do) and I have been working on a cross stitch that I purchased last year… also we have a new baby girl in our family and the quilt is at the longarmer being quilted and is ready to pick up for binding to be done. We will meet the new little girl in August at a small baby shower
I’ve been working on a flap jack quilt for my husband.
Love your spool quilt with Birdsong!
I have been working on a surprise Oh My Stars quilt made out of glow-in-the-dark space fabric for my want-to-be astronaut daughter. Working mostly early and late so she doesn’t see. She’s going to camp this week, so I hope to get it finished before we pick her up on Friday.
I love Birdsong. It would be beautiful in a baby quilt
Love the spools and scissors quilt! So cute!! I am working on 4 t shirt quilts and trying to catch up on some quilt alongs and making some blocks for a swap at my LQS! ❤️
So cute! I have been working on finishing my old school block of the month quilts.
I’ve been working on a log cabin watermelon quilt!! Love Pat’s Birdsong fabric.
We have just moved so I haven’t had much time for sewing, but I have managed to get the top done for a mystery quilt with my quilt guild. Hopefully I can start sewing again soon.
Love the spoil and scissors! I’ve been trying to finish several quilt projects … way too many tops!
Good morning. I’ve been productive this summer making quilts for friends and a co-worker who will be retiring next week. Quilts have been simple but colorful. Thanks for the giveaway. Wendy, I am inspired by your designs.
I just finished the quilting on Pat’s Sweet Dreams and am ready to quilt my scrappy Birdie quilt. I’m also conquering mount scrapmore.
I have been sewing together my fabric scraps to make made fabric in blocks about the size of a fat quarter. I have divided my fabrics into color groups and have 19 blue fat quarters and 12 red fat quarters and the other colors in varying numbers to add up to a total of 39. I am now working on all the whites/lights to use as backgrounds.
I’m busy sewing lots of cushions for my family.
I spend most of my sewing time on scrappy comfort quilts for my church quilt group. I am also trying to use my Accuquilt Qube dies more with my scraps. Thanks for sharing. Especially love the strawberries and look forward to the Sew Along.
I have finished several quilts and wall hangings this summer, mainly patriotic ones.
I have been working on a baby quilt for my soon to come great-great nephew.
I have several irons in the fire this summer. Summer began with following grandkids in the ball playing activities. This week has brought their 4-H projects to an end with our County Fair. I have been working through my WIPs from last year and have one more quilt to finish. I am also piecing together a Great Granny Squared quilt, mostly using blocks I’ve had my grandkids design. Last week I started piecing a Christmas quilt – I’ve had the fabric since I began quilting two years ago and decided it was time to get it made. My summer has been full of doing things I love!
I am making a JAcob’s Ladder quilt.
I’ve been playing catch-up with ufo’s and a 4th of July wall hanging. Moving on to quilt my National Parks quilt… Love the spools and scissors.
I am still working on the Stringbeans QAL Pat did, the Layer Cake Lotto from FQS and the Beautiful Day QAL with Corey Yoder. As a beginner, I make lots of mistakes I have to fix. But it is fun. Love your quilts and 2 cents worth!
I’m working on Pat Sloan quilts :Boo Crew and Summer Camp. I’m making a Coriander Quilts mystery quilt. and I am finishing up a table cloth quilt . (Almost a little too busy!)
I love the bird song “fabric and would love to win. I think I would make your scissors in spool quilt. “it is so cute
Oh I’m working on a commission quilt for a coworker,s grand baby.
I‘m making quilts for new babies.
Cute quilt! I am currently working on samples for a local quilt shop along with my various projects with Pat Sloan! Have my pattern and am looking forward to Just Add Shortcake so I need to get caught up on my other stragglers this weekend.
I love your quilts! I use the summer to catch-up and try to finish projects since I am a teacher and the school year gets hectic! I just finished the top of “Circle Game” by Jen Kingwell. I’m ready to start a new project, even though I still have several to finish! LOL – I can’t help myself!
I have been making an ocean waves quilt out of scraps. The top is finally finished! Your elephant stomp quilt is on my list for later this year with Kaffes and grunges.
Would love to sew with such beautiful thread.
This summer sewing has been minimal since we are under construction. I have been mostly doing little hand stitchery projects that will one day be added to small quilts, used as labels on quilts or framed for gift giving. I have made 1 quilt top and 1 table topper but that’s it.
I am trying to finish up a large quilt this Summer, but I just finished a tote bag for a Christmas gift and a Christmas wall hanging. I just started a sweet little embroidered pincushion for a birthday present in Sept. I just love your patterns!
I have been working on a queen sized quilt for my granddaughter and her fiancee who are getting married on Oct. 8.
I have been working on bags and wall hangings which are smaller quilts. I love your quilts with the Birdsong fabric.
Love your quilts! I have made 2 quilts this summer and have already gifted them. One was for my close friend since elementary school, who’s Mother passed away this spring. After going through her Mom’s sewing items, she gave me her cottons. In her Mother’s stash were over 600 5” blocks out of gorgeous vintage prints. So, of course, I had to make my friend a quilt with some of them and gave it to her for her birthday! ❤️ The other quilt is for our pastor and wife’s new baby. I am working on #3 quilt for my great niece.
THe scissor and spool are so pretty in bird song. Great idea. I have been working on finishing UFOs
I have been making baby quilts to practice new blocks. They are small and easy to maneuver so they are great for practicing. And every time my daughters need a baby shower gift they have a pile to choose from!
I have to say that your shortcake pattern is my absolute favorite!
I have been working on my sew sampler box projects from Fat quarter shop!
Love your patterns, Wendy! I have been finishing up some UFOs and WIPs this summer plus planning some fall /winter projects.
I just Love the bird Song fabric…Wendy you do such amazing work…Love the patterns you chose for the fabric line…Can’t wait to do the strawberry pattern…Have been working in the Won’t you be my Neighbor Quilt …Along with a Project on the Embroidery Machine💞🧵🧵💞
I have been sewing quilts for five of my grandchildren and will be super happy when my next project is no bigger than a placemat!
I’ve so enjoyed seeing these scissors and spools coming together. Pat’s fabric is beautiful. You are right. That is a great background fabric. My stitching time has been spent making flower girl dresses and a Christmas stocking for the newest grandbaby.
I am nearly finished with matching twin quilts and shams. Your Scissors and Spools quilt is fab.
I just finished a quilt I have been working on for one year! Hooray.
I have been finishing some projects – I ‘ve finished three UFOs and quilted another and at the hand sewing the binding stage. I’ve also been finishing a mystery quilt from my Guild (assembling the top stage) and working on a Guild summer challenge (top pieced and now doing some embroidery on it) and Pat Sloan’s Summer Camp mystery quilt.
I am currently working on some Lori Holt cross stitch, Moda’s Midnight Moon sew along with Pat Sloan, and FQS and Lori Holt’s Great Granny Squared sew along. Very shortly I will be starting your Just Add Shortcake pattern. Love it!!!!
Just finished a wall hanging of half inch hexagon showing the UK and Ireland that I designed myself with over two thousand hexagons. Time for something a little less intense!
I’ve been sewing Pat’s Summer Camp and a scrap quilt. Also finished quilting Pat’s Quilters Stand for Ukraine quilt.
I have been working on Pat Sloan’s summer camp quilt along. And also a baby quilt for my best friend’s granddaughter.
Health has not allowed me to sew so I have been sorting fabric to start scrap savers system.
Your scissors and spools design really highlights the fabric design. Great site!
I’ve been working with my 9 year old granddaughter this summer. She has just finished piecing her first quilt. We are now ready for her to quilt it. She wants to give it to a friend who has moved.
Such a cute quilt Wendy and it showcases Pat Sloans newest fabric line perfectly. This summer is for building so had to put away my sewing for now but come the Fall season I hope to have my new sewing space set up again.
I am hand sewing and plan to start Pat Sloan’s summer camp soon. Loved the spools and scissors…might consider doing that one too.
Especially love your spools with scissors quilt! It really allows all those different fabrics to shine. This summer I have focused on baby quilts, with three new nephews and a niece making their entrance into the family. Also working slowly on a rainbow quilt from Pat Sloan’s collection.
Love your spool quilt in Birdsong! Eager to start shortcake. Have been working on UFOs this summer
I love your Strawberries and Spools quilts – they just seem perfect for a door quilt. When my mom was in Assisted Living, she would decorate her door with seasonal wreaths and (once I got organized) narrow quilts. She would have loved having a quilt with three strawberries in a row for her June quilt. I might take two individual Spool blocks and make a bag to carry to our quilt guild meetings.
Your scissor & spool quilt is adorable and so is the strawberery quilt. Both really show off Pat’s birdsong fabric. I made a quilt for my niece who fosters dogs and now I’m working on a QOV project and trying to quilt a charity quilt for my guild.
I had 2 baby quilts to make. Now I am starting on Fat Quarters shop Jelly Roll Sizzle as a gift for friends who are caring for their mother.
Hello! Thank you for the beautiful Bird Song ideas! I am working on Missouri Star Quilting Co. BOM Tis the Season Christmas Tree quilt. It is so fun to be part of a group once in awhile :)
I’m making a wall hanging with Bird Song! Lovin’ this line! I would also like to make a quilt to go with it. I have several projects going. Another is the Secret Lives of Color. What a fun project.
I have been working on an EPP QAL- Homage to Grandmother’s flower garden, a monthly cross stitch, the boo crew mystery QAL and cross stitch, and Pat’s QAL summer camp.
This has been a summer of not sewing at all and I am going crazy!!! My sewing room got packed in March when we prepared the house for sale. The house sold, we bought a new one and moved. All of my stuff is now in TN at the new house. I am in CT while I finish up the sale of my business. I’ll finally be at the new house in early August. By the time I get to sew again it will have been about five months since I sat at my sewing machine.
I’ve been working on miniature quilts and trying to complete some very old UFOs. Love your patterns Wendy!
This summer I’ve been working on finishing Pat Sloan’s Sweet Dreams (since I’m a hand quilter, it takes a long time). About to put on the bindings and found your delightful post on bindings.
I finally got my last quilt quilted. Now I am making a quilt almost completely made with triangles.
I’ve made 2 quilt tops but mostly I have been working on some cross stitch when my eyes permit. Had some surgery done in both eyes (one at a time) over the last few months, so haven’t gotten a lot accomplished.
I’ve been working on birthday and Christmas gifts. I like the spool quilt with the bird song fabrics. Added to the list.
I have made a flag quilt, Hello birdie, and working on Secret. Lives of Color. I started Boo Crew and going to do something with the Birdsong panel. I really want to make the strawberry quilt!
I have decided that everyone in my family is getting a quilt- it’s a tall order since I have a very large family. So I have been working on a lot of different quilts this summer
I’ve been working on a lot of various projects this Summer – window screen mesh beach bag; bucket hats; keeping up with block of the month Vintage Jewel quilt (Month #7 just finished); sewing machine covers using my embroidery machine; monthly Kimberbell Digital Dealer Exclusives; charity sewing angel gowns, pet beds, NICU qulits; serger projects and more, more, more! Your spool and scissors quilt is adorable! What a talented designer you are! Thank you for your blog! Happy Sewing!
Oh I’ve been sewing everyday. Boo crew out of my stash. Going to start piano key border today for Secret Lives of Colour. I feel like with several other projects I’m worming on, one could say, a quilter on steroids. 😂 I love you quilt projects with the Bird Song fabric. I’d !one to make several of them inc!using Strawberry Quilt.
I have been working on small projects as well as sew along. I a few ufo that I am also focusing on to complete before end of the year.
I have not gotten much sewing done this summer, we have 2 large vegetable gardens so all my time is either doing my daily chores and working in the gardens along with keeping the yard and flower gardens pretty! Not complaining, I have enjoyed being outside. I did have a rain day so I had a few of my grandchildren over, one made a pillow case and the other 2 have begun a reading pillow. They are enjoying the opportunity to use my sewing machine! Next is to schedule another day to finish their pillows. I would like to make a table topper of your pumpkin/apple quilt squares and the strawberries.
I have been working on a challenge quilt. Three friends swapped fabric & we had to make a quilt using it. I also took a quilt that a senior started & finished it for her
I love your scissors and spool block! I have been making the Heartfelt quilt with FQS.
Unfortunately, my mother is ill so I have traveled to her home to take care of her. I didn’t bring anything to work on but I bought an old quilt top at a flea market that needs some repair. I plan to work on that while I am here.
I’ve made 2 Scrabble/crossword wall hangings for Christmas presents. Also making Kleenex holders for gifties at a retreat! Love, love your scissors & spool blocks :)
As always, I am working on multiple projects! I have several slow-stitching projects – an EPP project, an applique quilt and an embroidery project. I am also working on piecing two quilts – a BOM from Fig Tree Quilts and a quilt for my son. And finally, I’m quilting a lap quilt I made a few years ago. Do you think I have enough projects?!! I love your spool and scissors quilt!
I have been working on a Jelly Roll Twist pattern, which will be a chemo quilt for my aunt. It is made from my Mom’s fabric, which makes it extra special. It’s my first large quilt to make all on my own.
I’ve been working on Pat’s Summer Camp sew-along.
I went through my project stash and found 14 quilt tops that are ready for quilting. (I know – I can’t believe it either! 😂) All they needed was backing fabric picked out and pieced. So far I have found fabric for 11 of them and have pieced 3. Once they are pieced, the plan is to pin baste and quilt them. After that I hope to make a habit of finishing a project before starting another, but we’ll see how that goes!
So far this summer I’ve been working on Pat Sloan’s Summer Camp sew along. It’s great fun. Your Patterns for this fabric line are stunning!
I’ve been working on two of Pat’s sew alongs, Summer Camp and Hello Birdie! Both are sew fun.
I absolutely love your pattern Just Add Shortcake. I bought it months ago and have been looking forward to the sew along.
Love all the ways you used Birdsong Fabric. The scissors and thread are darling! I’ve been working on finishing tops this summer. I have a couple of bindings to finish up before I get more completed. It’s been a nice feeling get the UFO’s finished.
Love, love the Scissors and Spool quilt! I have been using Liberty fabrics to make a faceted heart block this summer, as well as using my Fig Tree fabrics in your Norfolk Sampler quilt. Already planning on a new quilt design for my Nocturnal Gingiber fabrics. Thank you for the opportunity Wendy!
Love your website, instagram and thank you for the binding info – I will definitely try it on the next quilt finish. This summer I have been working on several small ( throw and crib size) quilts. One I call Paisley Prams, and 2 quilts from a pink and brown floral fabric family that I have held onto for years before using. I have also been working on Roadside Harvest quilt, a Sunflower Seeds quilt and Sweet Dreams sew along, and I’ve been designing a train quilt for my cousin. Been busy but I’m getting closer to some finishes. Yay
I’ve been working on redoing my quilting room. I’m making great progress with it. When I’m tired of working on it I take a break to work on the Heart Felt Quilt Along pattern and a coffee themed table topper for my mom.
I love your Scissors and Spools pattern! I’ve added it to my project list to make!

Thanks for the chance to win…this is a lovely collection from Pat…the thread alone is just gorgeous! Blessings…

Spent a good bit of time decluttering and organizing my fabric stash and patterns.

These things keep me out of trouble (mostly) and keep me out of the heat.
Thank you for all your inspiring posts!
I just finished a doll quilt I made for my aunt who helped me take care of my mom when she had cancer. My aunt was my rock after my mom passed and actually got me to quilting after my mom passed. She absolutely loved it! I am starting a baby quilt for my cousin using the same doll pattern! Love all your beautiful designs!
My quilt guild is finally having a quilt show this weekend after a 3 year absence. I’ve been sewing hanging sleeves on my quilts to display including my Stomping Grounds quilt. It is so cute done in pink and orange prints. Thanks for the pattern.

I’m actually working on numerous UFOs. I love your patterns! I get to retire soon, and I can’t wait to dive into something cute and new to me. Thank you.
I’ve been working on finishing up some of my UFOs. I have a couple of them that just need labels now.

This summer I have been hand quilting a 40 year old UFO. I am getting antsy to make something new.
The Scissors and Spools quilt is just so fun! You are such a creative gal! This summer I have been juggling 3 quilts, working in rotation to further them all along.
I finished the top for a mystery QAL that I should have finished in November 2021 ;) and I am now working on a small quilt for my cat and another for a bed.
I have been machine quilting on a top I pieced in 2018. One more off the UFO pile. I’ve been drooling on Pat’s blue birds!

Hello. I have been making quilts and a table runner for July 4th.
I need more space and to accomplish that I need to finish some UFOs. Working on it and it makes me so happy as I finish them one by one. Recently finish a July 4th table runner.
Ok, love the new take on a “Spools” block! This summer has been about adding to my Red, White & Blue quilts for decorating purposes and working on a top to use for Angela Walter’s latest FMQ challenge. There should have been work on the WIPS in progress before the summer started but you know how that goes, LOL!! Also been following you and Susan Ache’s cross stitch adventures — lovely work by both of you!
Scissors and spools quilt is awesome. I am currently working on a quilt for my 5 yr old granddaughter and also the Secret Lives of Color with Pat’s sew-along.
Love your pretty Scissors and Spools quilt. It’s a lovely range of fabric.
I love your work, Wendy! I was so inspired when you came to present at our guild meeting several years ago! This summer I have been sewing boutique items for our guild’s show coming up in the Fall.
Love your spools! My current project is a courthouse steps (paper pieced) in bright summer colors.
I want to make everything, but alas I am making the Bird Song Panel Quilt. Love it
You design the cutest quilts. Thank you for that. I’ve been sewing quilts, bowl cozies, iPhone/iPad stands – either for a local hospice program or for our annual craft sale to support our program. Lots of fun.

Hi there! I have been working on Graduation quilts for my two granddaughters. Stomping Grounds using U of A fabrics for my granddaughter graduating from The University of Alabama and some fun cosmetology blocks for my other granddaughter graduating from Cosmetology school. I would most definitely make your Scissors and Spools quilt. I love your patterns. I made my daughter your Dogs in Sweaters quilt for Christmas last year. Thanks for your wonderful designs!
I just realized you didn’t do Dogs in Sweaters. 🫣 But the idea I was trying to get across was that I love figural blocks! Sorry! I’m embarrassed. But I love your designs!! Thank you!
Today I’m hand binding a bespoke king size quilt for a friend. A version of Nature Walk in the blue Bird Song color way is on my design wall waiting patiently while I hand sew. It’s eager to be quilted & sending me ideas for motifs to fill the spaces between the star points.
Your spool quilt is amazing, I love it! I’ve been working on table toppers for christmas gifts.
Love the colors of these fabrics. I’m working on finishing a charity quilt while gathering the fabric for a graduation quilt for the daughter of a friend.
I love your work! I have been making lap quilts and baby quilts this summer. Thank you for participating in the tour!
Love your spool quilt! I made a yellowstone quilt and a deer quilt so far.
I’ve been sewing wedding quilts this summer. Love this fabric line!
Summer is a very busy time for me, so my quilting becomes a bit less. The one project I have been working on is a cat inspired original that will be for my mom. I am hoping that it will give her a giggle each time she sits under it.
I am working on baby quilts. Love the new fabric line!
I have been catching up on my UFOs this summer. The pile is getting smaller!

I just love this fabric. I’m working on Pat Sloan’s sew along Summer Camp and Fat Quarter Shop’s Boo Crew. Also finishing up some small hand sewing projects.
This summer I will be working on Pat Sloan’s Summer Camp & a Cobweb selvedge quilt & a baby quilt. Your quilts are lovely. Perfect for summer
I love the new Bird Song fabrics. I’ve been working on a big king, cover for our bed. Using the Fractions pattern.
Your spool quilt is so cute! I am making “Hello Birdie” with Pat.
I’ve been working on Pat’s Secret Lives of Color and Summer Camp QALs
I have been quilting tops, trying to finish UFO’s. That spool pattern is too cute!
This summer I have been sewing on my BFF quilt, which I designed long distance with EQ with my BFF who lives 7 hours away. The blocks represent our lifelong friendship! Your spool and scissors would be a great companion for it.
Pat Sloan’s fabrics and sew alongs are great fun! I’m sewing “Secret Lives of Color” and just finished a wall hanging using her Ukrainian Star pattern. I’m also making exchange blocks for 10 friends…thanks for joining the tour-I love your patterns and did the “Elephant Stomp “for my granddaughter.
I have been working on several sew-alongs including Pat Sloan’s Secret Lives of Color and Summer Camp!
I have been working on Pat’s camping quilt.
I retired in April, so I have been spending lots of time in my sewing room! My current WIP is using embroidered vintage linens in quilt blocks to make a wall hanging.
This summer I have been keeping up with a block of the month project and Pat’s Secret Lives of Color quilt. I really like the spools quilt.
I’ve been making a Farmhouse Star scrappy quilt this summer !
I have been finishing quilts in my UFO bag.
Such a cute spool and scissors quilt! The spools really caught my eye because my quilting group has been doing a BOM which has been teaching the new quilters (like me!) some new skills. The blocks will be set into spools. So I’ve been working on that. I just finished a bargello and am now preparing to make another gift quilt. Thanks for your part in the Bird Song tour, Wendy!
I have been working on a hand sewing project this summer. So small and easy to take along with me on a plane ride or out in the yard. Love your quilts with Pat’s bird song fabrics, So pretty.
Love your Scissors and Spools quilt. I’ve been working on Pat Sloan’ s Camp quilt along; making pillow cases for a local charity and quilting some UFO’s.
This summer I have been working on Pat Sloan’s Sweet Dreams quilt a long. I just started quilting it.

I’ve been sewing for Quilts of Valor and working on Pat’s camp sew along.
I have been working on UFOs for a challenge in my local quilt guild and for fun/relief I am working on the Summer Mystery by Laundry Basket Quilts.
This is a very different and unique pattern. Love it? I’m working on a few different quilts that were started awhile back. 2021 mystery quilt of the month thru fat quarter shop and bright side quilt also from fat quarter shop. I got behind due to a broken leg.
I’m making a real effort to plow through some of my UFOs. I have discovered over the years that I really like making the blocks, but stall when it comes to putting them all together. Not to mention that I really hate doing borders! I’d like to say my attitude will change, but I’m not holding out much hope.
i am so in love with pat Sloan’s Birdsong fabric, bought both the panels and am going to use one for a new purse. I’m intrigued with your quilt, the Elliptical, it is sew pretty, both light and dark, am looking forward to it next week. You are sew inspiring!
Sewing quilts for Christmas or 3 grandchildren.
I absolutely loved everything you made with Pat’s fabric!! Gotta make time to follow you too. This summer I have focused on prayer quilts for my church. I need to get going on an I Spy quilt for our grandson, though.
I have been finishing up some UFO’s.
I’ve been quilting and binding quilts for our local rescue mission. Most of the tops have been made by others in our area. Otherwise, fitting in an occasional effort at some UFOs that have sat too long.
Pretty Bird Song fabric!
I love the scissors and spools! So cute! My goal is to give each of my four children and my mother a quilt for Christmas. Two are from Pats sew along a, the fall one and sweet dreams. I still have two left to quilt but all the tops are done!
Been working on graduation quilts. I am a little behind schedule, however, I was babysitting grandkids for several months for my daughter who was in a bind. And I was unable to sew and watch grandkids. But I am back on track now.
I finished two soccer quilts for my 6 ft nephews. Now I am using all the extra sports fabric to make three child size throws to give away. Then I’ll go on vacation 🤗
This summer I have been working on quilts for charity
I love your scissors and spools quilt and especially that it uses the layer cake size of fabric.

I am happy that Pat directed me to this site, Wendy has great designs for inspiration.

But mostly I have been buying fabrics ☺️

Wendy, what a clever quilt pattern in your scissors and spools quilt! I love it. I just finished a commissioned T-shirt quilt, have a table topper ready to quilt and a wall hanging that I messed up and need to rip, rip, rip, and redo. Also am busy organizing my scraps and my many UFO’s.
I have been working on long arm quilting several tops. 3 done; 3 to go!
Love the fabric and definitely would make a sweet quilt with the birdsong fabric for a family member
I have been busy working on graduation quilts and quilts for new great grandbaby’s. Also, a few other quilts for family.
I have one quilt finished (as Pat says “back from the spa”), 4 sandwiched waiting for me and my Pfaff, and one top waiting for batting to come in the mail so I can sandwich another +++. Don’t want to bore you.
Love spools & scissors. Great combo of design and fabric. I’ve been sewing a project Linus quilts. Small enough that I can quilt them on my own. Nice to accomplish a project on my own all the way to the finish.
I have been working on a couple mystery quilts and a block of the month. Love your scissors and spoils quilt.

Hi, I made a cover for my new Bernina Q16 machine, quilted it first of course. It turned out really nice.

I’ve tried to stay true to my plan this year to reduce the number of quilt kits I have in my stitch. I have done several but I hate to admit I have purchased more new kits. I do plan to make a quilt with the bird song fabric that I purchased at the Fat Quarter Shop. Happy sewing.

Love your Scissors and Spools quilt, so sweet and would look great on my studio wall! Perfect show case for Bird Song fabrics. I’m working on a t-shirt quilt for my youngest son (45 next month) from his twenty year collection of shirts. It is finishing as California king size 100 x 108 and is so handsome. Along with the t-shirts he gave me dress work shirts, cotton button up shirts and lots of neck ties. I made quilt blocks from all the shirts and ties and interspersed them with the t-shirts…I love it! It goes to my long arm lady next week with a three month backlog for quilting!! Yikes….it just became a Christmas gift! Ha ha. Also finished a “Love Ya” heart quilt for his girlfriend, two baby quilts for gifts and in between I’m working on a Trip Around the World quilt for myself using Kaffe fabrics. 104 here in Central Valley, California so lots of time to sew! Love seeing your daughter’s embroidery work! Blessings, Dawn

This summer I have been sewing along with Pat Sloan’s Summer Camp and making projects from fat quarters for my quilty friends.
I have been sewing graduation quilts this summer and getting started on my Christmas sewing.

I’m sewing blocks, one a week, National Parks theme; I’m working on a scrappy quilt with some pieced blocks of different sizes and finding using low volume fabrics as fillers. Finally, making good use of my fabric stash.
I love your patterns! I have been working on finishing some UFO’s, one of which is your elephant stomp pattern.
Scissors and a spool of thread! Love it. That will be a great small wall hanging for a sewist.
I’m finishing some UFOS! Some are years old so it feels great to get them done!
Love this fabric collection, Love how airy and artsy it is. I think of summer with the blue and end of spring with the pinks. working to catch up on sew alongs that I started in January, and then everything else took priority…
This summer I have made pillowcases and a couple of dresses for my granddaughter.
Your scissors and thread pattern is so cute! Especially in Pat’s Bird Song fabric! This summer I’m concentrating on finishing up some of my BOMs! I make 12 months worth of blocks and then procrastinate putting them all together! We’ll see how long I can go without starting something new! HA!
Oooh, I really like your quilt designs, especially Elliptical! This summer, most of my sewing has been with memory pillows for friends. I am always honored to be asked to make them with a sentimental shirt or sweater. I have 4 shirts waiting for me now! duchick at gmail dot com
Your Scissors and Spools quilt is adorable!! I made my grandson pajamas, am currently working on a pillow and a quilt for my sister. I enjoyed your tour today!
With the gardens & now VBS keeping me busy I’ve only have copied Pat’s patterns for her Summer Camp SAL but I do have my fabric. I hope to next week start the Strawberry Quilt for a friend.
I have been working on most of Pat Sloan’s sew-alongs since I found her last December. I’ve produced more than I have in years and finished 3 full-sized quilts. I’m so thrilled with this fabric and your scissors/thread pattern.
I have been working on small wallhanging sized quilts so I can practice my quilting on the longarm I bought at last year’s Iowa State Fair.
🌶🌶Been working on some of pat’s quilt alongs, several from fat quarter shop and just enjoying seeing it all come together!! Love your site!

I definitely will be ordering the Scissors and Spools pattern. And when it is done, I will be keeping it for myself—it’s so me! Then one of the two other patterns for my Bird Song (having trouble with the choosing!). Thank u for being part of Pat’s tour and for sharing your great projects!
I’m either way behind or super early finishing up my Christmas quilt!
I love your pattern for the fabric
I love your scissors and spools pattern. I have been working on 3 different quilts this summer that were started last year. Hope to finish them this year.
I have been working on a quilt using fabric called Effie’s woods. My middle name is Efffie, so I thought it only appropriate to use this fabric. My grandma, my namesake, wood be proud.
I have been working on birthday quilts for my kids.
Hi, I have been working on 2 baby quilts and they are for my neice and nephew’s kids. Can’t believe they are having children! I am also beginning to reorganize my sewing room after it has been moved around due to a new windows project. I would love to be included in the drawing for Pat Sloan’s fabric and/or thread. Thanks for the opportunity! Kathy Robinson
Working on blkhd 4 with Moda and Midnight Moon and Summer Camp and Dear daughter x2 and sweet dreams and the secret lives of color and…….
I’m working on a BOM project this summer !
Recently I have been making wheelchair lap quilts, our quilt guild is asking our members to make and donate for community service. they will be going to local nursing homes.
Very different but great
I love the spools with scissors! Just finished taking a class during the Sisters Quilters Affair with Sujata Shaw, the quilt is called Baskests Full of Scraps!
O so cute and the scissors ✂️ just top it off
I am working on Summer Camp, Be My Neighbor, Boo Crew, and finishing three Sweet Dreams. Many interruptions have been problematic. Hoping to catch up
OH my! The spools and scissors would be perfect for a quilter friend of mine. They say quilters rarely receive quilts. She would love it. I have been working on wolf panel quilts for my grown sons for Christmas this summer. I am cutting the panel into strips and adding their favorite color fabric between the panel strips. Each of the four is a different “cut” of the panel. Hubby just put in a request for a postage stamp image quilt. I laughed.
Love the Spools and Scissors Quilt. I have been working on old UFO’s while working in the garden mostly. I usually don’t do much sewing in the summer, I have to much to do outside with the vegetable garden plus all the canning and frezing of the goodies.
I am working on a scrappy yellow & white 12-in Dutchman’s Puzzle blocks, the 6-in Sampler Spree Blocks by color, a large pillow, making two blouses and some small pouches. I love your strawberry quilt. Such a fun spools and scissors quilt using Pat’s fabrics..
Love all your quilt projects with Birdsong fabrics. This summer finished my son’s QOV and gave to him on 4th of July. He had 20+ years of service. Now working on quilting 2 donation quilts.
I have been making QOV quilts and charity quilts. I am binding 4 of them today.
I have been sewing Lori Holt’s Chicken Salad quilt and Pat’s Secret Lives of Color. I have completed your Elephant Stomp quilt as well for Project Linus. It is waiting for binding. Your scissors and spools are adorable! So fun! I love my Elephant quilt. It will be hard to give away but I know some child will love it a lot. I used animal prints for half of the elephants and geometric prints for the other. Thanks for making such amazing designs for us to sew. K- lkw2x6-apq@yahoo.com
I’ve working on a kitten quilt, gnome of the brave & the boo crew sal by fat quarter shop. Love the bird song panel ,so pretty
Hi. Love your Bird Song projects! I’ve been making a quilt for my son in law and getting all the BOM and QAL projects from last year and this year completed to the finished top stage. I’ve freed up three bins just in the last month. Two to go. I’m also sewing some curtains for my daughter, and I always have a small project going. Right now it’s Stitches from the Heart from the Fat Quarter Shop.
Your quilt patterns are so fun. I particularly like just add shortcake. I have been taking a bit of a break from quilting and instead I have been creating notebook covers and small quilted baskets.
I’m working on a wall hanging to give to my daughter!
Working at finishing up some old projects this summer and would love to win this fabric pack to piece something new!
Hi Wendy, I love your Scissors and Spools quilt! I have been trying to catch up on long arming my many completed quilts. I also just finished piecing my Beautiful Morning quilt using Bird Song.
Love your quilts! I have been sewing quilts, table runners and wall hanging this summer.
Love how your spools showcase the beautiful prints! I’ve been sewing a baby quilt and Pat’s summer camp sew a long!
Love your quilt done with the fabric I have been working on a quilt for my grandson this summer.
I absolutely LOVE the BirdSong fabric choices you matched up on the spool and scissors quilt. I have often looked at your pattern as a “one day” but if I win the layer cake it will become #1 on the list of “to do”. I just finished a photo mat quilt for a baby shower.
I have been quilting for about 5 years and this summer have finally decided to enter my first quilt ever in our state fair! That has been taking up all of my time so far this summer and is due in a couple of weeks!
Love Birdsong fabric in your quilt! Too cute! I am taking some time to catch up on projects this month. I’m currently finishing Pat Sloan’s Sweet Dreams quilt.
I am working on machine quilting tops that I have made over the past year. The one I am working on right now is a graduation gift for a niece who graduated from high school and is going to nursing school in the fall. Her name is Libby and she is filled with a lovely spirit.
I’ve been making quilted placemats and think Bird Song will make great ones.
I am quilting along on several of Pat’s projects as well as finishing off some ufo’s. So glad to see your work love ellipical.
I have been slowly working on a flannel quilt for my grandson for Christmas. I say slowly, because it’s been very warm.
I have taken a break from sewing to spend more time outside this summer. My plan is to start again in September.
Lovely thread and scissors quilt. I worked with my neighbor to make 5 quilts for her pastors children. Also made three scrappy quilts for charity.
I am working on a retirement gift for a coworker… a set of placemats with books on a shelf (she was our Library Technician). I have some interesting selvedges for the book spine titles… I know that this will be a big hit with her,
Two projects I’ve been doing were quilts for a niece and a nephew for their marriages. Also, of course, Pat’s sew a longs and getting out UFOs and getting some quilted.

I just zoomed in on the background fabric and it is pretty, just like all the fabric. I like your spin on the strawberry quilt; really cute. I have seen so many projects this week to use this fabric. I’m in awe of how creative the designers have been. I’m still interested in making a few project bags and a sewing machine cover.

I’ve been making a baby boy quilt and cutting fabric for Lutheran World Relief quilts.
Our son’s wedding was yesterday so my sewing was confined to wedding prepping: autograph quilt, sample table-runner to practice writing with pens on fabric, aprons and purses for the flower girls, and 2 ring bearer pillows that had cross stitch on the front sides. Now I can rest for a few days and then begin the Harry Potter quilt for my grandson..
Adorable quilt with the Bird Song fabric! I’ve been participating in three separate sew-alongs this summer as well as trying to finish several UFO’s. My granddaughter just helped me sort my fabric in an attempt to organize my quilting “stash” and she tells me that I have an addiction to fabric!

Hi, what a novel quilt, I adore it, I’ve never seen a quilt with a spool and scissors in a block together before, and Pat’s fabrics are perfect for your design. I really like your illeptical quilt block too, very interesting with lots of movement. Thanks for sharing your time and talent. Diana (Dee)
Spool and scissors…how appropriate! Just finished a baby quilt for our latest little grandchild. I am making quilts for all my grandchildren….only 3 more to go! I collect fabric…but I guess that is a trait of all quilters!!
The main things I worked on and finished this summer were a king sized quilt for my daughter and I finally got my last Bonnie Hunter project quilted. Yeah!!
This summer I have been sewing a ‘wedding quilt ” for my neices ‘wedding in September. It’s been a labor of love.
Your Scissors and SPools quilt is as cute as anything, and I love the background fabric. I really love the ELliptical quilt. Just too cool for school! My 6-year-old granddaughter and I are sewing a “baby” quilt made up of squares of Dr. Suess fabrics. It is slow, but she is having a ball. I really enjoyed your Fabric Tour. I was introduced to Pat Sloane through Bonnie Hunter’s Quiltville blog, and I am so happy to have found you. T
I love your scissors and spools pattern! I’ve been following your numerous patterns in magazines for the last decade (?) or so and love them . I have a kit of your Northstar pattern on my shelf waiting to be sewen!
Love the Birdsong fabric. Crazy about your scissors & spools pattern. Love the creativity and spark of fun!
I’ve been sewing scrap blocks and enjoying the feeling of doing my own thing.

We have 7 grand children, 5 and under that keep me pretty busy, LOL. I have been busy with 2 baby quilts for new grandsons, dresses for the 2 grand daughters and reading pillows for the 5 older ones.

After trying to post my comment several times and not having it post, I am once again trying. I seem to be getting stuck at a long in page for WordPress. No matter how many times I change my password it won’t let me log in and my comment does not post. So…..once again I’ll try to comment: I really do love how you used Pat’s new Bird Song line in the Spools and Scissors quilt. So cute! I have been coasting a little in the sewing room this summer doing some necessary things that are not related to quilting or sewing but will be jumping in to work on some new projects that have sparked my interest. Sometimes a break is needed to start up again! Thanks for sharing your projects with us and inspiring us to use our creativity!
I’ve been sewing bags.
I have been working on some lap size quilts for Christmas gifts.
Your quilts are so much fun. They are “make me smile” quilts.
I like what you shared with the fabric. I’m having a good summer of sewing, one quilt for my son finished and in rotation, two other quilt tops finished and a third project cut out.
I have made a baseball quilt for my grandson. Finishing a Flag quilt as a Quilt of Valor for a great nephew. Also have cut out your Just add shortcake pattern for Pat’s sew-along. Busy sewing.
Thx for the great patterns.

It’s been fun following along! Thanks for all the hard work! I’ve worked on a PP quilt for my daughter and son-in-law, plus I made the binding and put it on our guild’s quilt that we’re raffling off at our quilt show in October. Thanks so much for the chance to win!
I loved seeing all the quilt possibilities.
I have made 2 bright neon lap size quilts for twin 10 year old boys, whos home was destroyed in a fire. I already had a completed lap quilt that I gave to the parents. Thankfully, they were not at home at the time of the fire, so they are safe.
I have been cutting my scraps up into some standard sizes to make them more user-friendly. Some pieces smaller than fat quarters, but having interesting design, I’m using for hot pads, mug rugs, or backing for same.
Love your patterns, the Elliptical is my favorite with Pat’s fabric, I will be looking at getting that pattern in the near future.
I have been working on a bee quilt and the heartfelt quilt this past month or two. Love your spools and scissors quilt.
I have been sewing a patchwork bird quilt, my long term scrappy four patch blocks, and some fishing-themed placemats.
Oh Wendy – all of your work is gorgeous…you allowed Pat Sloan’s “Bird Song” to sing! I have tried to perfect you small Ohio stars…time will tell on that. I have used that block on a Christmas quilt. You are so encouraging about the domestic machine quilting…still working on that too!

What a great quilt to put up in a quilting or sewing studio. I’ve moved and haven’t set up my studio yet, but I do meet with a group on Mondays to quilt and chat. I found a UFO from long ago – paper pieced pineapple blocks in Christmas fabrics – which is a perfect project to work on while gossiping with the others.
What a fabulous quilt – Those cute spools are hard to beat! I have a couple picnic tumbler quilts that I need to finish up before end of month! Yikes! Thank you!
