Welcome to my stop on the Celebrate Red, White and Blue Blog Hop and my celebration of the colors of Old Glory! I hope you enjoy what I created to share with you today.
When this hop was 1st announced, my original thought was to totally stay away from the traditional star blocks and do something unconventional. But then while browsing through my books for ideas, I came across the Blackford's Beauty block and all previous ideas flew right out the window. This one just called out to me to be my inspiration.
I delved into my stash and scraps, cut and sewed, and this is the result.
I said to myself "I like, I like". So what did I do next? I made another one of course!
Two led to three and this one was the next one completed.
An addiction was started. Oh no. One more just screamed at me, begging to join the party.
Next thing I new I was cutting for yet a 5th Blackford's Beauty block.
More, more I wanted to make even more, but a glance at my watch showed me that I was almost out of time! July 2nd was fast approaching. So I resisted the urge to keep going but then I was left wondering what to do with all these beautiful blocks. I'm not one to just let them remain unfinished.
They were hanging out on my design wall and Hello the obvious project was staring me right in the face. With a little of sewing together, a bit more cutting and a few borders, I created this patriotic table runner. I named it American Beauty.
It is my first table runner and I am ticked Red, White and Blue how well it turned out. A couple of quilt models wanted to help but then weren't the easiest to work with.
It measures 22" x 70" and officially it is considered a UFO since it's neither quilted nor bound. But it still looks wonderful on my dining room table.
Why isn't it actually finished? Well the final stitches weren't completed until yesterday afternoon and I've also decided that this will be my first piece that I will quilt myself. I already have a plan ready. I don't have the right needles nor any good quilting thread so a shopping trip is in order. I'm anxious to finally quilt one of my quilt tops on my own. I'm just praying it goes as well as hope it will. keep your fingers crossed for me.
Are you wondering yet about that giveaway I eluded to on Saturday? Well here it is. Looking for a new home is not 1 but 2 Jovial charm packs. Loads of folks celebrate Christmas in July and I thought, why not? Whomever is the lucky winner will have plenty of time to create something fantastic to help celebrate the holidays.
For a chance to win, just tell me where your dream vacation place is, someplace you've always wanted to go. For a 2nd chance, become a follower and tell me that you did or if you already follow my adventures, mention it. That's it. 2 chances to win. Entries will remain open for 1 week, through midnight EST on July 8th. The winner will be announced on July 9th. If you are a No Reply Blogger, make sure you leave me your email address so that I can get in touch with you.
Remember to also visit my fellow bloggers today and see what other wonderful Red, White and Blue creations they've come up with. I'm sure it will be well worth it.

As for my favorite vacation spot, it can be anywhere with the sunshine reflecting off the waves while I am sitting in my chair with my toes in the water.

Can I just say upfront, my favorites are your fantastic *Models*!! They are so stinkin' cute!!! I loved your blocks but they really Popped when you put them in a table runner!

Hummmm, I think Hong Kong. The table runner is wonderful, but the two holding it up are the cutest!
OOPS, I am also a follower of your blog!
I follow you!
I would love to go to Ireland! The notion is so romantic to me. I would love to go with my hubby abd take my parents too.
Happy Hop Day! I find it so interesting how different fabrics placed in different spots can change the look of a block. Your table-runner is wonderful and I think your helpers are darling! Thank you so much for playing . Your did an amazing job. And I hand quilt so if you have any questions just let me know. I would be happy to help. I know you will love the quilting process as much as the piecing.
Great table runner! I would love to travel to Hawaii...it's been a dream for a long time and maybe in the next year or two we will get to go.
I am now a follower of your blog.
I am a new follower, thanks.
My dream vacation would be a trip to Italy!
Excellent Table Runner! Might just have to make one of those. I've always wanted to go to Vermont to watch the leaves change, but Alas we always end up in Kinder LA so DH can play cards.
I am a new follower who loves table runners for my kids--married with kids. I like to use blocks like you did. Should have two entries.
Thanks
A gorgeous project...with a block that I also love which is still in a UFO state.
I smiled at your assistants...how cute!
Dream vacation would be anywhere, and I mean anywhere in the world by the ocean!
My fantasy vacation would be several weeks in Hawaii all expense paid. Of course, I would drag my dear mother with me and some Hawaiian quilty stops would be on the itinerary.
Beautiful,anyone would like to have that on their table. great job.

i have always wanted to go to the british isles...scotland and ireland especially. rush88888 at gmal dot com
I would love to go on a quilt cruise or quilt tour. Anyplace would be great. but how about Tahiti?
WOW! That runner is awesome. I'm sure you'll be thriled when you are all done quilting it. It's beautiful.
I'm easy with my dream vacation. Most would want to go overseas or some tropical island somewhere, but for me, I want to go back and see Mount Rushmore and travel all around that area with my husband. He's never been there and I was there as a teen with my parents so I know I wouldn't remember half of the things we saw then. What teenage girl is concerned about history? It's all about makeup and clothes even back in the 70's right? LOL
The table runner is a beauty! Are you planning to machine or hand quilt? Either way, I know you'll do a terrific job.
We've done a lot of travelling for business/vacations over the years, so I'm happy just vacationing at home or roaming around our beautiful NM. I would love to visit Australia and New Zealand but not during the HOT time of year.
Thanks for the opportunity to win those pretty charms!
I'm a follower of your Blog! 8-)
Love how you got carried away with your chosen design...the blocks are gorgeous! I'm a follower now and for a vacation choice? well, I think it might be in a fancy RV traveling across the US with my DH and our dogs and cats. I would love to see more of our country, up close and personal...especially New England.
Love the blocks you made, they turned into a great tablerunner. My deepest travel secret is to see the Northern Lights. So I want to go somewhere very north in the dead of winter so I can experience the wash and shimmer.
Awesome job!!! Funny how those blocks just grow and grow and then you have a pile, isn't it :) Your models are adorable :) :) No need to enter me in the giveaway, I already joyfully follow you but thank you!!
I have always wanted to go to Scotland, don't really understand it but whenever I hear about Scotland I have such a longing to be there. Thank you for all your hard work on the Red, White, and Blue blog hop.

Lovely table runner. I love star blocks, too. My dream vacation would be someplace cool and beautiful, not hot and muggy. Maybe a mountain retreat, but not in bug weather. Am I fussy or what?
Love your table runner and you have very cute quilt models! My dream vacation is an Alaskan cruise. Thanks for the great giveaway!
I'm a new follower.
Loved all your block and how good they all looked together!!
My dream vacation is *hopefully* going to happen in December...10 days in Kauai, just me and my husband. A condo, hiking, spa day(s), deep sea fishing and scuba. That table runner is awesome - gonna have to stick that idea in my sewing notebook for some future date. American Beauty by Michele!

Love your table runner, the blocks turned out beautifully.
Your RWB blocks are amazing! I've bookmarked your post so it's easy for me to return and try this out myself someday. Thank you so much for sharing!
My dream vacation: Someplace where I can walk to town and shops and stores. There would be a sewing class to attend with all sorts of nice people. There would be a cooking class to attend - one where you split the food costs and get to sample the food and get recipes to make at home. Oh and in my dream I'm slim and can take a dip in the pool. My DH and DS are sitting by the pool with their computers relaxing. Maybe there is a gardening class too. All within walking distance and with great people. And my DH and DS come with me to some of the classes too!
I clicked to follow your blog!
My dream vacation would be Ireland, where my mom was born. I am also a golfer as is my husband, so it would be fun! I love your blocks!

My dream vacation would be a trip to Alaska! I have always dreamed of going there! :-)

My dream vacation spot is Ireland. My favorite spot is the UP of Michigan.
Became a follower!
Love it!! I enjoy quilting little quilts too. My fav vacation spot is Gatlinburg.
What a pretty table runner (bed runner?)! Good luck with your quilting - stars are always a challenge for me - I've seen lots of interesting patterns, but then when it's my time to do it, I can never remember & just do stitch in the ditch. BORING, but does the job.
For years, our goal was to vacation in Hawaii, but ever since reading about Ireland, my mind's been changed. Then, there's Italy & Greece...and Scotland. And our friends in Australia and England that want us to come visit...and there's Iceland, & New Zealand too...Oh, gosh, I just don't know where to go first!!
Hi Michelle....gee...I do follow your blog..and see saw with you...duh! LOL! My dream trip would be a cruise to Alaska...a nice long cruise!! Would love to see all the bears splashing around in the water....
BTW, Your table runner is beautimous and your models did a fantastic job! Also, "Blackfords Beauty" is one of my favorite blocks...purdy purdy purdy!!
Hiya Michelle, I'm new to blogging, so here goes... My dream vacation would be a toss-up, either Alaska or Australia. I've always wanted to watch whales and totally love polar bears. Koalas and kangaroos are two of my favorite animals too. (I have lots of favorite animals.) I've just started collecting fabric for quilting, so a win would add to my stash. I'm really gonna dig in one day and start sewing...I PROMISE!!! It'll be great to follow you and see your adventures and projects. Blessed be, hugs, Pam.
Also, I just started following you, can't wait to learn lots. Blessed be, hugs, Pam.
Dream vacation would be to the U.K. Staying in little towns, B&B places, walking and biking. Then time in London. I LOVE your tablerunner. That block is very pretty.
My dream vacation is going to Alaska and see aurora borealis.
Great job...Love the quilt models...dream vacation would be Ireland. Would love to visit some Castles. Second choice would be Germany...both have pubs and what's not to love about that but at least in Ireland I might be able to understand what is being said.
You know I'm a faithful follower :)
Fantastic job on the American beauty table runner. Bali has been a dream vacation of mine. Thanks
Following you now.

Oh what a lovely table runner! I am writing to you from beautiful Norway...my dream vacation! Thanks!
Wonderful Blocks! Thanks for all of the inspiration. Happy blog hopping.
For those who wish to travel to Hawaii or Australia. Do both. About six hours to Hawaii & about 9 to Australia time flies if quilting. I would love to visit more of the wonderful National Parks in USA & other places. Happy 4th July.
Good luck with your quilting of the wonderful table runner and I have just joined as a follower - love colour.
Oh & you may even meet Jinny Beyer on the plane as a friend did as she was piecing. My friend was surprised/shocked as they talked for hours it seemed about their mutual art. Jinny introduced herself on leaving, "As you may have heard of me......."
lovely blocks and such a nice table runner now! I'm a follower and I made a christmas quilt last year or the year before out of the jovial line.
My dream vacation would be to spend time traveling around Europe. Although I have many other places I would like to go also. Your table runner is beautiful I love the star block.
COngratulations on your first tablerunner! Those models sure are cute.
Our favorite place to vacation is the island of Maui. Stunning beaches, incredible golf courses, thrilling zip lines, luxurious hotels and wonderful places to dine even after 40+ years of marraige.
I am a new follower.
Blackford's Beauty is my all time fav block...you hit this out of the ballpark!
I'm your newest follower! Thanks for the chance to win!
Your tablerunner looks great on your table. My dream vacation would be to Ireland
Just love the ideas! L
I love quilting...for you can take a simple block and make it into a fabulously patriotic table runner! And someday I would love to go to the Mediterranean!
Such a pretty runner... my dream vacation (and retirement) place is Maine. Visited there 6 or 7 years ago, Acadia National Park area and I have been dying to return there ever since!
Hello.... I just wanted to let you know that you have a new follower and look forward to reading more.
Sincerely,
Tricia
Hummmm that is a hard question for me to answer. I would like to go to as many national parks as I could where money, 35 mm Film and processing for all the wonderful pictures I would take not be an issue and I could camp under the stars. Some day I might be able to just do a few of them in each region. Thank you for the chance to win and found your tablerunner very delightful.
Sincerely,
Tricia
Beautiful.
My dream vacation would be to travel to Peru and see the Amazon.

I went to Norway once but it is still sort of my dream vacation! I wouldn't mind Italy either!
love your blocks
I'm a new follower and very happy to find you. My dream vacation spot is Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood, in Oregon. I just want to go up there and lounge around and swim in the pool (in the winter snow!) and eat prime rib and strawberries and ski and lounge and swim....am I repeating myself! Yes, that's my favorite vacation spot. Thanks for asking and letting us visit.
Your table runner is just gorgeous - Blackford's Beauty is one of my favorite blocks! I am planning one in solids sometime soon if I can ever clear up my sewing room enough to start something new :*) Thanks for the chance to win the Jovial charms - they would be a joy to work with!
