Delilah Block of the Month – Month 4 – Fairhaven

Delilah BOM Tips, Quilts - Sep. 26, 2018 - Jessica OklaRoots

So this block took... a while. 

Partly because I have been in a cross country move.  But mostly because.... don't make me say it....

Ok.... I'll say it....

CURVES.

Those @$#^@$&#* curves.

Delilah Block of the Month – Month 2 – Bells Beach Block

Delilah BOM Tips - Jun. 03, 2018 - Jessica OklaRoots

Welcome back!  This month we explore curves.... again.  If you have been following me on Instagram (@oklaroots) you may have noticed that I am not a big fan of the curves.  

Well, let me clarify:  I love the look of curves... I just don't like making them.

Delilah Block of the Month – Month 1 – Rising Sun Block

Delilah BOM Tips - Apr. 10, 2018 - Jessica OklaRoots

Anyone else listen to "Delilah" on the radio?  You know the intro.... "Deliiiiilaaaaaaaahhh"? Well, I sing that EVERY TIME I am working on one of these blocks... and I kind of love it. (So does my husband, he just doesn't want to admit it)

If you don't know, the Delilah star of this blog post is a recent quilt pattern by Jen Kingwell.  I have been holding on to this block of the month pattern since it started... a year ago.  I participated with Amitie quilt shop, receiving a block pattern, acrylic templates and a selection of fabrics each month.  At this point in time (April 2018) the block of the month program is over and the pattern is not available to purchase.  I will update this once that changes. UPDATE: Pattern available here!

13 minutes of me yapping about my 🍑 . Here’s how 13 minutes of me yapping about my 🍑 . 

Here’s how my first colonoscopy prep went down! If it’s time for you get this checkup, make sure to make that appointment. It’s not a fun 24 hours but can help prevent a whole lot of other problems. 

Colon cancer runs in my family and I’ve seen the impacts it can cause if not caught early. 45 is the recommended age for your first scan, but if you have symptoms and/or a family history, you may want to get this done sooner. I’m 41 and so glad I did this now. My Dr. said he had his first at 37, so there is no shame in staying on top of this sooner than later. 

Take care of your booties!

I recently destashed and reorganized my vinyl supply and I thought I would share my process. Vinyl organization is tricky. The rolls are pretty big (most of mine are 18” wide) and it’s hard to really SEE them all when they’re stacked up. But, work with what you’ve got.

How do you organize your vinyl?

This adorable purse comes together in a matter of minutes and can be modified in any way you need. Keep it neutral and chic, make it funky and bright, add some heavy stabilizer to keep it super structured, or skip the stabilizer and keep it loose. So many options, and it’s all QUICK!

I know I’m quilt cotton averse when it comes to accessories, but I’m slowly coming around. I especially like using this material when we can piece it!

Have a great weekend! Make it a relaxing one ❤️
