Announcing Project Polka Dot 2014

Project Polka Dot Guest Bloggers

Last March I got a crazy idea to ONLY blog about Polka Dots for one month.  The idea came after I attended a blog conference and some one said to me “I can’t remember your name, but you’re the polka dot girl right?” I got a nice kick out of the comment (it was said to be complimentary)… After that I decided I’d just run with the whole polka dot thing.

Since last year’s Project Polka Dot was so much fun, I thought it would be a great idea to bring it back for another year.  This year I’ve ramped things up a bit, more ideas, more giveaways and more guest bloggers!

I’ve got the most amazing group of ladies that will be sharing all kinds of Polka Dot ideas with you all month long!

Please stop by their blog and say “HELLO” from me!! I do love them all for doing this and want them to all feel appreciated!

Project Polka Dot officially kicks of next Monday.  All during March (with a few exceptions) this blog will be all polka dots. all the time. (I always wanted to say that *wink*)

Just so you know, I hand picked some sponsors to work with me for this series. I wanted to get some great stuff to give away to YOU! So you’ll be seeing a higher concentration of sponsored posts than normal.  Don’t worry! It’s just for this special series and only because I have some AWESOME ideas to share with you and some great stuff to give to you guys!

Lots of great giveaways from fabric, to ribbon to stencils and more… The good news is, you’ll only have to enter ONCE to enter all of the give aways for the month. Cool huh!! More details on that with our first giveaway.

  • Who’s up for a Summer Quilt Along? After a couple of delays (can you say Typhoon?) we are ready to launch the #LetsStayHomeQuilt Along! It will run for 8 weeks this summer and at the end you’ll have a finished quilt! I’ll be popping into my IG stories along the way to help you out and we even have a series of video tutorials to share! So if you’re brand new to quilting you can totally do this 👊🏻! All the details are in the link in my bio. Just click the link to the home page. . . . #summerquilt #rileyblakedesigns #foxfarmfabric #quiltalong #melissamortenson #polkadotchair #quiltersofinstagram #quiltsofinstagram
  • I want to invite you guys to join me in a class at the Garden of Quilts festival this September. 🧵 ✂️ It’s taking place at Thanksgiving Point in Utah and I could not be more excited to be teaching. I’ll be teaching two classes. . ONE: My Santa’s Hat Shop Quilt. I’ll show you how to foundation paper piece the blocks - it’s so easy you can do it even if you new to FPP (these cute blocks were made by @the_tattooed_quilter ). . . TWO: I’ll show you how to make these fun storage bins (swipe for the photo) They are made with foam and are so useful! I have several in my house and they are great for storing everything from sewing projects to makeup. . . I’ve added a link in my bio for all of the details about the classes. I’ll also add swipe up links to my stories today. I hope I see some of you there! ❤️ Patterns are tagged in the photos -
  • Yesterday was my daughters high school graduation. Her twin brother (who is younger than her) graduated 2 weeks ago (confused yet? Cause sometimes keeping track of all of it confuses me 😂). All 3 of our kids have now graduated and sometime in the next few months we will be empty nesters. . No more car pools, choir concerts, early morning seminary or late night sports practices. There are some things I won’t miss (like planning our life around the school schedule) and some things I will miss tremendously! I know that this parenting thing never ends and we are only transitioning to a different type of “parenting stress” but I’m looking forward to what it brings. . However I have to admit that part of me is terrified about this next phase. It seems a bit lonely - but more time to sew I guess 🤷🏼‍♀️😂.?
  • Spent yesterday evening at a home show at @nortoncommonsky . I shared some of my favorite details on stories. Like this gorgeous window vignette by @gretchenblack . Each home had so many AMAZING details and the “creative” part of my brain was so happy. Also for everyone that asked- we are not moving 😂. My kids graduated high school this year / I think moving on top of that would cause me to have a nervous breakdown. Too many changes at once! 😂😂
  • Block 3 in the #justforfunquilt just posted! You can click the link in my bio to find it. I’m calling this block Sunshine and Stars ☀️ 🌟 since it reminds me of a beach umbrella. 🏖 If you’re new- the Just for Fun Quilt is a block of the month that is running on my blog during 2019. It’s free and I’d love to have you participate! I’m going to try to do a Insta Story Q&A later today if you have questions about the Quilt Along. . . #quiltingtutorial #quiltsofinstagram #quiltblock #rileyblake #rileyblakedesigns #blossomfabric
  • Was anyone else absolutely smitten with Gilbert Blythe growing up? I think at one point I convinced myself I was going to marry him 😂😂😂. Riley Blake has a new Anne of Green Gables fabric line (by @zippyboro ) and I jumped at the chance to make something with it! I LOVED those books and the tv show so much growing up. I decided to update my Reading Pillow pattern (I posted the first one waaay back in 2011) - a lot of you guys have asked for a basic pattern over the years (no piping or zippers) and I’m happy to oblige. I also added a second size option too! Hop on over to the blog for more info - you can also now buy a printable pattern (with 5 different pillow patterns in TVs shop). Just click the link in my bio. . . #rileyblake #rileyblakedesigns #readingpillow #readingpillows #kindredspiritsfabric #sewistsofinstagram #quiltsofinstagram #sewingtutorial

    I’ll be watching this for sure. My oldest daughter loves polka dots. She wants a Polka Dot quilt, I’m making her a Purple quilt but seeing this I will attempt to make it a double sided quilt.
