Day 10 - Last Day of Dots on Dots!

 The last day of Dots!
It's been wonderful to coordinate this and 
to  'meet' all of the bloggers, and 
then to see what they created!
It's been really fun to read everyone's
supportive comments. 
Super Job by All!

Here are the last of our dots:

Day 8 - Dots on Dots



Did you see this block from yesterday?
It's from Traveling Quilter
Dresses on linen.  So retro.

It goes with our Dot topic for today...

Ladies, 
Yahoo tells us that,
 "Head to Toe Polka Dots is a big No, No
Little girls can pair a polka dot dress 
with polka dot tights
 and look adorable. 
grown 
woman 
cannot."

That pretty much says it all.   
Shoot, I need to toss my leggings.

The hop is 10 days long, 
an extra day was added. 
It goes through Friday!

Here is our lineup today:

Day 7 -- Dots on Dots


It's Day 7 of our
Dot Parade!
 
I wish I had witty dot repertoire 
for you every day.
 
I could give a couple of tips:
Don't wear polka dot underwear with white shorts.
and Redbook tells us:
"Polka dots perk you up--pretty much instantly. 
 A playful pattern gives off an energetic, fresh-faced vibe that's 
appropriate no matter how many candles you're blowing out this year."
 
Good to know that polka dots are timeless!
 
Here is our lineup today!

Dots on Dots - Day 4

It's MY Day for Dots!

Popsicles, Ice Cream, Sno-cones, Push Pops....
I've had them on the brain and
 in my mouth all summer.
So...how about Dots on Popsicles?
Works for me!

 Here is my 10.5" block.
Life would be much easier if I would follow a pattern.
I couldn't find one I liked, so made my own.  


Let the popsicle parade begin.

All of the sticks are a little white polka dot on cream.
They are the perfect stick color but didn't stand out much, 
so I outlined them in aqua, red and pink Prescenia thread.




Love that little pink Ice Cream girl and
 of course Mickey Mouse too.
 


I really had no idea what to do with these,
and thought they might sit around forever.  
But then my daughter mentioned
 she'd like a TV blanket.

"Really?" 
"Would you like one with Popsicles on it???"
 "Really?"

So...I needed more blocks.
I used the block patterns from this quilt and
 enlarged them to be a 10.5" square.
Really fast and easy.


This is my next favorite block.  
Pandas in New York City!


Full of color and 
all of my favorite 
quirky bright fabrics.




Just hope she doesn't drip on it.



Every Thursday we have a giveaway -- 
so today it is a
fun, bright pack of fat quarters and a 
little dotty sewing kit!

Random drawing Friday night Sept. 14th.
Giveaway over.

We have a winner -- Julie #302

1st Day Dots on Dots Blog Hop

Welcome!!
 Super excited to kick off Day 1 of the Blog Hop.  
I've seen some sneak peaks on a few blogs
 and can't wait to see them all.  

Over 90 bloggers will 
share what they've made.
The only stipulation was to make a 
10.5" or 12.5" (unfinished size) block
and then from there, 
how many or if they did something with it, 
was up to them.


The top two picks and honorable mention
 will be posted each day on Sew We Quilt
and will also be PINNED onto a Pinterest board.  
We'll be able to see all of your creations in one spot!  Madame Samm, thank you for making it all happen!

If you want to see the full schedule

Here is the line up for today!
