I had so much fun curating a bundle. This was a first for me, so I may have shopped 'til I dropped, so to speak, picking out just the right fabrics to represent summertime.
You can find the June Blogger Bundle here in the Needle & Foot Etsy shop. And, the five-piece fat quarter bundle is 20% off through Friday.
June Blogger Bundle by Paige from Quilted Blooms |
I picked out the following five prints, all Windham Fabrics, to include the June blogger bundle which are pictured above from top to bottom:
- Dots in Yellow from Paint the Town by Striped Bear Studio (printed on GOTS certified cotton)
- Dash in Pink from Dreamer by Carrie Bloomston
- Raindrops from Paint the Town by Striped Bear Studio (printed on GOTS certified cotton)
- Grid Paper in Green from Wordplay by Sarah Fielke
- Frolic from Meriwether by Amy Gibson
I have started a baby quilt with a garden theme using all five prints on a white background. The Dots in Yellow made the perfect sun and flower center.
I used a zigzag stitch, not quite a satin stitch, to applique the pieces in place. I cut out a quarter circle for the sun and some triangles for rays of sunshine. Aurifil (50 wt.) 1135, Pale Yellow, matched perfectly.
A big daisy will be added using petals from Dash in pink. I cut the petals using the Go! Orange Peel die.
The tulip was also designed using the orange peel die. I cut the green flower stem on the bias for interest and, again, used the orange peel die to cut out the leaf.
It can't always be sunshine and pretty flowers, sometimes there are rain clouds too.
You can see the finished top here in this post.
I picked out all Windham Fabrics listed in either the Windham section or Organic section but also check out the following sections:
- Fabric Bundles and Precuts
- Art Gallery Fabrics
- Andover Fabrics
- Voiles and Knits for garments
- 108" Widebacks including the popular Newsprint by Carrie Bloomston

ReplyDeleteSuch a Summery bundle! And your appliques are so cute!
ReplyDeleteNice job with your color bundle, Paige. Of course you know how I love all the bright colors. And your workmanship is perfection, as usual. Thanks for working out this giveaway. I know Blogger still isn't being cooperative, so good for you to utilize Rafflecopter.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bundle! It makes me happy looking at it, and your sun/flowers are amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt's a fun and bright bundle, Paige, and I look forward to seeing how the applique finishes!
ReplyDeleteThank you Paige - I truly enjoyed working with you on this. Love the appliqué you are doing - the fabrics you've selected are going to work perfectly on the theme you've created. Also love the stem being cut on the bias. Those small touches are what make a project special! So sweet.
ReplyDeleteBernie, it was such a joy to pick out a bundle from your Esty shop! I felt like a kid in a candy store!
DeleteThis is such a fun bundle and they are prefect for this project. Those are the happiest little clouds I've ever seen :) I can't wait to see more of it when you are finished.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for commenting!
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely and lively colors. I am sure that any pattern will look gorgeous with these fabrics. Rain gets a bad rap, but we need the rain to cool things down, to wash away the grime and help starting things afresh.
ReplyDeleteLovely bundle. I especially like the rain.
ReplyDeleteThese are some fun and bright fabrics! I loved the cursive quilt. I'm a retired school teacher, and I hated the way they threw cursive out of the curriculum and told us to teach it if we had time!
ReplyDeleteTHANKS FOR YOUR INSPIRATION+THIS NEAT GIVEAWAY!
