Quilting Gallery Blog Hop

 
 
Welcome to MooseStashQuilting. If you've never been here before, I hope you find it a fun place to romp thru, for ideas. If you have been, I am delighted you've stopped in again!  :-)


I have to say, when Michelle at the Quilting Gallery, said she was sick of the the winter blues, we were in the middle of a good size storm here, and I was feeling her pain!


 
  So to cope, I decided to turn my thoughts towards Easter, which is rapidly approaching.
Now if this little guy can't warm you heart... well what can I say? He is another one of those marvelous Whippersnapperdesigns (its linked for you)  rubber stamp cuties.

 I recently stumbled on WhipperSnapperDesigns.com thru Pinterest. Their designs were so adorable, that I knew I wanted to turn them into quilties. I contacted them and asked and they graciously gave me permission do so for my personal use.


 
The simple shapes allow for loads of fun playing with free motion quilting and thread playing.
It really gives them personality!
 

 
Adding a bright lime green border was the perfect way to say "Hello Spring, haven't seen much of you under all that snow lately!
 
Now if you have read my blog, I have talked about letting your fabrics speak to you when quilting. This is a good example. The plaid, made for perfect quilting lines. As I was working my way thru the border, I decided that I really didnt' need to go back the opposite direction. I rather like the looks of the simple straight stitches.
 
 
 Looking at the back, you can see what I mean.
Don't you love peeking at quilt backs.
 The texture, that all the stitching reveals, is so visually
 exciting.
 
 
So there you have it.
 
You've heard that old adage, Spring has sprung...
we can't say that here just yet, but
Spring is about to...well "spring"!!
:-)
 
 
Thanks for visiting me today.
I do have a give-a-way for not 1, but 2 lucky readers!

First off, is for someone with an embroidery machine.

This adorable in the hoop cell phone case from Roberta's Creations.
 
 
Second... is this adorable pattern from Pie Plate Patterns
What a great way to jump into spring!

:-) 
So here is how it's going to work...
You must be a follower. I so love my followers.
My goal is to inspire and entertain you, down this crazy quilting road we all "seam" to love to travel.
 Leave a comment, tell us what's down your quilting road that you would like to share. After all that's how inspiration starts! Also let me know if you have an embroidery machine or not.
I will pick 2 winners on March 14th!
It will be a surprise just what package arrives on your doorstep!
And yes, I will ship Internationally!
:-)
Till then, keep on hoppin, cause we're gonna hop til we drop, and then, right into Easter.
Have a very blessed one!

  3. I'm a follower. I usually can't wait to get one out of the frame just to see how the back turned out and yours turned out great. I have so many projects waiting for me that I don't know which to start next.

  5. So cute! I am a follower. I do not have an embroidery machine and am a new quilter. Actually, a pretty new sewer, since I hadn't sewn except for home economics 50 years ago, and a few little tshirts 35 years ago for my toddler. It's all new and exciting for me now!

  7. I am a follower, I do not have an embroidery machine. I am working on a quilt for my momma called Vintage Tin. I'm also working on another quilt called Bejeweled Wedding ring from the book "Link to the 30s" AND I'm collecting I spy 5" squares for a cool grandma's quilt..getting there on saving up those. It isn't as easy as I thought it would be to find novelty prints.

  37. Hi, Thank you for the chance to win.
    I am a follower via email and i don't have an embroidery machine.
    And now, my quilting road leads me from my place to my mums or back again, I have my Horrizon set up at her place for my large quilting projects,and my Bernina set up at my place. Much more space at mums, just a little inconvenient at times when I want more space and have to get ready and go up there, can't just quilt in my nightie. lol
    Cheers, Cindy Aus.

  52. What fun!! I am a follower and I dont' have an embroidery machine. I have been quilting for afew years now and I am loving it. I've sewn for many many years. Down the road hmm so many quilts and sew little time :) but something I have started to do since I hand quilt my quilts right now is to put a little quilted something hidden in each quilt. Like one granddaughter loves dogs so in the midst of all the other swirls of hand quilting (I use stencils) there is alittle puppy dog. and another is a lizard. I am now doing a QOV for a Navy person and it has the navy anchor in the center of one of the blocks. Just fun

  57. Oh my gosh, that quilt is just adorable. I am a follower and do have an embroidery machine. In my quilting road, I am excited because my first big quilt is going on a road trip Friday when my husband and I will be taking it to a long arm quilter to be turned into something even more beautiful. I'm really excited and can't wait to see my first big quilt finished. I think it will give me the push to get over this slump I've been in once I see how it looks totally done. I have plans to work on a strip quilt on Saturday but my plans are generally tossed to the wind when I make them so we shall see if I can touch my machine Saturday or not. I also have fabric purchased a week ago to make my 1 yr old Granddaughter some pants that I had planned to make this week. Of course, as always my plans were pushed aside while I work on setting up a new computer my husband surprised me with last Friday. I have lots of plans but no time it seems. Imagine if I weren't disabled and home all day? LOL

  59. Hi, I am a follower and would love either one if I win. Thanks for a chance. I have a large King sized blue jean quilt top done and I bought the backing and now I can't find a long arm quilter that wants to do it. They keep telling me to just tie it so that is what I am going to do this summer when I can take it outside to work on it. Someone told me it was to heavy,
