I am super excited to be a part of the Winter Wonderland Sew Along.
The Winter Wonderland Sew Along is the Sleigh Bell Sampler.
Each week you make two of these adorable blocks!!!
If you have just discovered this sew along, the book can be purchased at the Fat Quarter Shop.
Sherri asked me to participate while we chatted at quilt market this spring.
I thought...I will have plenty of time to make a block or project.
Um, I think you know where this is going....
My Block is #5 the Wreath.
I gathered my fabrics including Ella Blue's basics
red tone on tone stripe, green cross hatch
and Lecien basic white with aqua dots.
Cutting was simple...small pieces for sure with some 1" x 1"!
I adore how my block turned out.
Sherri is sharing the block construction on her blog here.
*Update*
A few commented that my block was constructed incorrectly.
I frogged it at 7 am and re-stitched it.
While I was stitching the block I had a ton of trouble with my sewing machine.
I was frustrated.
I guess I wasn't paying attention to my block placement.
The improved block looks great!
I thought for sure I would have had time yesterday to quilt it and bind it.
That didn't happen.
I was unpacking fabric bolts and cutting a bunch of bundles.
To help you get started or continue your sew along,
I'm giving away a fat eighth bundle of the new Ella Blue basics - 37 prints!
Just leave a comment on this post.
I will draw on August 17,2015.
thanks for reading ;)
p.s. I have 30% off Back to School sale in my etsy shop!

Gorgeous bundle! Thanks for the giveaway.
Isn't there a wee mistake in piecing the bottom left hand corner? Thank you for the giveaway.
This are wonderful fabrics! Thanks for this giveaway.

The block would make a cute potholder. I love the fabrics in the giveaway. Gorgeous. Thanks for the chance to win.
Love how your block turned out although I think you turned one of the leaves the wrong way. But actually I think it makes the block even more gorgous:-)
Beautiful fabrics!
Gorgeous fabrics!!! I've been enjoying your blog!
Thanks for a chance to win some great fabrics.
It seems one of the leaves are on the wrong place? but anyway, it seems ok for me. Thanks for this giveaway
Beautiful fabrics! Thanks for sharing
Love the potholder idea! Lindsayrodems at gmail dot com
Love your block. Some days you have to do some unsewing to appreciate the great days sewing. Some great colors in the giveaway bundle. Thank you. vkh6210@gmail.com
Love your block, both before (because I didn't notice) and after. Thanks for the chance
No fun ripping things out-I was doing that myself yesterday! but your block turned out really nice!
This is a wonderful wreath and I have never heard the term 'frogging' before so thank you for that!!!! Such a generous giveaway - happy Saturday to you!
What a pretty block and a wonderful idea to turn it into a potholder for the holidays! Never to early to get started on some holiday sewing projects. Looks like you've given me a book to add to my sewing wish list. ;o)
Thanks for the chance to win! I really like the Ella Blue basics!
I admire your ability to frog at 7 am - I have zero abilities at 7 am!
Thanks for an awesome giveaway!
The Wreath Block is my favourite and I was thinking to make pot holders too... They say great minds think alike😉
love your block and would love to win this, thanks

Your block is delightful! It will make a great holiday potholder. Thanks for sharing it, and thanks for the chance to win this wonderful fabric
The fabric bundle would be great for a sofa quilt and the wreath block would make a beautiful coordinating sofa pillow. -- soparkaveataoldotcom
If you hadn't pointed it out, I wouldn't have noticed the blocks was wrong. :) Such a cute pattern; I can see it as a pot holder, too!
Thanks for the chance to win!

Such a cute block! It would be adorable as a potholder :)
Great block. I love the cheerful bundle.
I love your wreath block too! I'm thinking I'll make several of them and sew them together into a table runner for the holidays. I totally understand sewing machine frustrations...ugh! I've torn out many partial seams too and restitched blocks. Sometimes I know it isn't right, yet can't see how to fix it...now that's frustrating! Your block will be a super pot-holder!
I think a potholder will be darling! Note to self with this idea. Thanks for sharing the giveaway.
Looks like a fun block to make! Thanks for the giveaway.
Love the wreath block!!!

The seam ripper and I are often good friends as well :)
What a generous gift. I haven't even started. Seems like a winter project. Too busy canning at the moment.
