Dreami Projects + Road Trip Day 4

Are you familiar with Dreami projects? "Dreami" stands for:

DRop Everything And Make It

I'm sure everyone experiences these moments in their life, whether it be a craft, cooking, reading, or just about anything. In quiltland it means we run across a pattern, idea or fabric, and we stop whatever project we're working on to make it now! I have 2 "Dreami" projects to share with you this month.

It resembles a barn quilt but it's made out of fabric:

July Minikins Challenge ✅ + Road Trip Day 3

Sara at Sew Sweetness is having a different challenge each month with her Minikins patterns. The Minikins are 12 cute-as-a-button patterns of small bags, with step-by-step videos, that are fun to make, use and give as gifts. 

The Minikins challenge for July is the Jetset Cinched Bag.

This bag is great for traveling and has 4 mesh pockets inside:

Two More ⼆ 枚 + Road Trip Day 2

I have two more friends' quilts to share today. These are made by two different quilters:

This first one is made by Paula of Knitting Pipeline Podcast. If you are a knitter, I highly recommend her podcast, which besides her amazing knowledge of knitting, also includes her quilting and nature notes. Quilters will enjoy her YouTube videos, where she tells you the point that the quilting updates begin.

Verve + Road Trip Day 1

I quilted it with "Verve":
