Hope everyone is enjoying this summer…we all in WI love-love-love summer…I especially love walking the dog and listening to the sounds of summer…the loons and the songbirds…which brings me to a great quilt made by Randy McCarty…He purchased a FQ tower of Songbirds and made this wonderful quilt.

YES all from ONE FQ tower!!!…If you didn’t notice I try and put even light/dark prints in my fabric lines…this is why…you can make a quilt with just the FQ tower and do not have to add any extra fabric, except a border of course…Randy is so talented…not only can he execute a perfect quilt…he quilts them too!!! Take a look at this quilting!

I know he is using Linda’s Quilted Pineapple Rulers and is just making fabulous quilting designs with them…I’m in awe of the quilting that Linda and her rulers have inspired all over the world…if you are a person who quilts your own quilts, or let your longarmer know about these tools for awesome quilting.  Linda also teaches classes at AQS shows.

Ok…I got sidetracked there for a minute…lets get back to Randy..Here he is standing in front of another of his gorgeous creations…He is also helping me proof the SBOW and is helping us host a Facebook group for these projects, where he shares his tips and techniques to help all level of stitchers with our summer projects!  So…what can I say…the guy ROCKS! Find him on FB and request to be his friend…he’s also a great gardener!

The Songbird line was released in Feb/2016 and we only have a few FQ towers left..so if this quilt sings to you, you can purchase your Songbird FQ tower here …SONGBIRD FQ TOWER  or if you are interested in a kit with the brown border fabric for binding.  We also have a discounted backing option.
