We Were Made for Adventure

Do you remember when I went to quilt market in May, and I showed you a picture of The Sweet Life line of fabric by Cori Dantini — and I told you that you would be seeing it again?  No?  Well, the fabric surprise that happened while I was on vacation, is the arrival of The Sweet Life fabric that I ordered at market.  Here’s a picture of the quilt that was in the Blend Fabrics booth at market.

I fell hard for that sweet little quilt.  I think it’s the perfect quilt for the girls in our lives — for birthdays, graduations or for stepping out into a grand new adventure.  My favorite panel is the cute middle panel in the quilt above — We Were Made for Adventure.

And look at this adorable print — the little girls are doing fun things like gardening and embroidering.  Soooo, so cute!

Blend Fabrics has put out a free quilt pattern for this cute quilt.  Here’s a better shot from the pattern.

I’ve put together some kits for these cute quilts — I hope you’ll love them just as much as I do.  Each kit has almost 8 yards of fabric – enough to make the quilt, as pictured, plus a quilt back.  Plus, there will be one We Were Made for Adventure block left over — it would make a cute pillow to go with your quilt!

I can’t wait to make one for me – I’m trying to exercise some self control and finish the Steampunk blocks before I start this quilt.  Although, it will go together so quickly that it wouldn’t really hurt to let it cut in line.   I also bought some extra Adventure Girls fabric panels.  Each panel has three blocks — Dare to Fly, Enjoy Your Days, and We Were Made For Adventure.  Both the kits and the fabric panels are in my Etsy Shop.

Considering that MyDadLovesMeBestSister and CuteNiece1 jumped out of an airplane today, do you think maybe they need  We Were Made for Adventure quilts too???  (Just between you and me, I think they need We’re a Few Fries Short of a Happy Meal quilts — cah-raaay-zy!)

XOXO,

    Good luck with your Etsy site!

  9. Hi Anna, I agree, this is the most adorable quilt. The panels are oh-so cute.

    Wouldn’t one of the panels look wonderful framed for the wall to go along with the finished quilt?

    Too cute!! Good luck with your Etsy shop.

  10. Oh, I really like this quilt!! I’m up for adventure, but there won’t be any jumping out of airplanes for me. Not yet anyway. Maybe when I’m 95!

  11. ACK!!! HOW WONDERFUL is this fabric!! I have a little niece I must make this for!!! Are you selling just the panel by chance??? I need to read your blog every day.. I’m WAY behind… wink!

  12. Where and how do I get the Thimbleanna panel and the quilt kits??? $$$$
    Can I just buy the panels??? I have one granddaughter that just graduated this year and another one for next year. Love those!!!

  13. Cannot wait until the kit arrives; however, bloody clever you are! Excellent job. I hope to jump out of a plane and on this newly retired consultant’s bucket list. As well as ballooning over parts of wine country en Paris. Thanks so much for your creativity and sharing with us! Nana W
