Hello friends! If you are visiting from Sew, Mama, Sew!....Welcome! I'm Melissa and I started this little blog a while back to share sewing projects with my own Mama (and Dad, and sister) who all live a couple days away in Tennessee. I've had fun making new friends in the blogging world and connecting with other quilters here in Kansas along the way.
Some of you remember "Seeing {Pink} Squares" that I made following the Seeing Squares Pattern designed by Shea from Empty Bobbin Sewing Studio. I thought I'd share a few more details and then offer you a little giveaway.
Here's a photo I took quickly one afternoon when the sun finally peeked out for a bit.
And this is the pieced back. If you've never tried a pieced back, Shea gives suggestions for a pieced back from leftover blocks complete with measurements and diagrams that make piecing pretty quick and easy.
Here's a closer look.
Angela Walters quilted it and did an amazing job. Here are a few special spots that are accented with her very cool quilting designs.
I made a smaller version (48" x 56") of this quilt for my daughter and Paula made the beautiful solid quilt (60" x 84") on the pattern's cover.
Shea kindly offered a pattern for me to giveaway to one of you lucky readers. You'll love her patterns! They are printed in color and have easy to follow directions and awesome illustrations throughout.
It's easy to play...
just leave a comment about your plans for the Memorial Day weekend!

Hi, I'm from Canada and we don't have Memorial Day weekend, but we just had a long weekend and it was spent relaxing with some good family :)
Thanks for the chance at this :)

THANKS FOR THE CHANCE!

I have to work on Saturday and then afterward drive upstate to my parents house. They were "snowbirding" in FL and my mom got real sick so they've been there since November. They're coming home in a week so I need to get the house cleaned and groceries bought for them. Sounds fun right?
We are going out with friends to dinner and a movie! :)
I think we're going to have dinner with my in-laws. :) Thanks for the giveaway!
Beautiful quilt! I don't have any plans for Memorial day weekend... :/ Maybe we'll go out to a restaurant :)

Memorial day? I forgot. I better think of something!
Got the MIL coming to visit!
Cute pattern! Nothing planned for this weekend!
Wonderfully cute quilt, thanks for participating in Giveaway Day!!
For Memorial Day Weekend, I plan on catching up on alot of sewing stuff that has sort of been hanging out on my table taunting me. Then of course there's the wonderful BBQ with family.
My sister got married last weekend, so I plan on staying home, by myself, all Memorial Day weekend. Thanks for the giveaway!

Very pretty quilt. I haven't tried any fancy backs yet but am thinking about trying one on a small quilt.
Lovely quilts in this post. We hope to start the "paint the house" project this weekend, weather cooperating.
I have a church picnic to go to and I'm in charge of the children's games! leahclaireh(at)gmail(dot)com
Great pattern - thanks for the chance to win it! For Memorial Day we are doing a BBQ - it's just nice to get together and hang out!
Sadly my husband has to work on memorial day so it will just be another day for us.
My plans are to attend the first free concert at Rally in the Alley Friday night, then a cookout Monday. Thanks for the giveaway!
No plans for the weekend - so maybe just a quick trip to the beach?
I love that pattern! We are planning on cooking out and relaxing.
We are taking our daughters to a special Thomas themed event tomorrow, and on Saturday, our neighbors are doing a cookout, and I think on Monday we're probably going to do a family oriented thing; not sure yet what!
I had planned to have my baby this weekend but he surprised us and came 19 days before his due date, lol. So we're probably bbq-ing at home and yelling at drivers to slow down on their way to the lake. (We live a block away from a boat ramp.)
your quilt is beautiful! oh, you should be so proud!
i'd love to win a copy of the pattern, thank you so much for the chance!
we actually had our long weekend last week, for Victoria Day, so it's just a normal weekend for us. my main plan is to avoid the border at all costs! i have mail to go pick up, but i'll do that next week when the border lineups aren't as brutal. this weekend is exciting though, because on saturday i'm meeting with the art director and curator of an art show i'm in this summer, so i NEED to get as much done on my quilt as possible before then, so i have something to show!
and i'm a follower!
Beautiful! Would love the pattern!

I love the pieced block in the back. It's just beautiful.
If it stops raining, I'll be getting the garden in. Otherwise, probably cleaning mud off the kids!
I'm just hanging out with the family. Probably doing some grilling.

Well, we just had our long weekend here in Canada. I did exciting things like empty the freezer, clean the fridge, and pull weeds.
I plan to do much of the same next weekend, when you'll be celebrating :)
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
i have absolutely no plans and if anyone calls I will say "oh, sorry, I've already made plans"!
What a great quilt and love the pattern. My plans for the long weekend are to play outside in the sun with my son and make some pillows for my bed with left over quilt squares.
We're refinishing our basement, so this weekend is insulation and framing! Then the obligatory Memorial Day BBQ. I hope your Memorial Day is fun!
Thanks for the chance...
Cute pattern! I'll be camping on Memorial Day! =)
I became a follower of your blog! =)

I am going to my 10 year college reunion for the long weekend... thanks for the chance to enter!
I will be moving to a new house! Woot!
Someone else asked this question. I'm going to my brother's in Mobile to get pink highlights put in my hair ;) (I'm too old for it- but who cares)
We will be in the garden if the weather cooperates! Thanks
I don't have any plans as of yet for this weekend. My mother had foot surgery and I have been taking care of her. We may have a picnic in her living room floor because she can't walk on her foot yet. Regardless we are blessed to be together.
Your quilts are beautiful!
THAT IS REALLY PRETTY!
We are planning a quiet weekend. Lots of rest and relaxation.
Thank you for the chance to win your awesome giveaway!

Your quilt is beautiful, and I love the version on the pattern, too. I'll be getting home from a week-long business trip Friday night, so am hoping for a quiet, lazy, Memorial Day weekend!
Thanks for the opportunity!
