New Linky Party: Pieceful Sunday

Today is the beginning of my first, very own Linky Party! It is called Pieceful Sunday​. The party will focus on piecing projects for quilts or quilted items. I love piecing and want to help build a community for quilters who enjoy it as well. I envision this as a place where we can share our projects and encourage each other. It will be available for in-progress and completed project link-ups every Sunday. 
To get the party going, I will be sharing pieced rug mugs that I and my friend Lisa made as part of the 2017 Teal Mini Swap. This swap supports ovarian cancer research each September. It is hosted by Beth Hefter at EvaPaige Quilt Designs. The Ovarian Cancer Research Fund Alliance receives the funds that are raised through the swap. This was my first year to participate. Laura at Slice of Pi Quilts recruited me, and I am very glad that she did! They needed someone from Oklahoma to have a least one person from each state.

The process is simple. Each participant in the swap is matched with another participant. Then they each make a mug rug or mini quilt using a swatch of fabric provided by Beth and their their own fabric. The matched participants then swap the rug mugs by mail. This year the fabric swatches were provided by Quilting Treasures.  Below is a photo of the the rug mug that I made for Lisa.

The fabric swatch that was provided is the teal fabric in the center. The other fabrics are from my stash. I had a lot of fun making it. I used my Accuquilt Mix and Match 9" Block Cube dies to cut the pieces so it went together easily. I really like the flowered background material. I am sad to say that I running out of it and that Connecting Threads doesn't sell it any more. 

Below is a picture of the rug mug that Lisa sent me. Isn't it gorgeous? I just love it. It even has cute embroidery details. Lisa went above and beyond by sending me a card, a beautiful potholder that she made, and a fat quarter of Christmas Tree fabric. Lisa knows how much I love Christmas Trees. It turns out that she is a participant in  I Wish You a Merry QAL. It is a small quilting world! I absolutely love the potholder. I am going to hang it in my kitchen. It is far too beautiful to use while cooking. I am a pretty messy cook. As for the cute Christmas Tree fabric, I know that I will be putting it to good use! Thanks, Lisa!

I really enjoyed participating in the 2017 Teal Mini Swap this year. It was fun, and it benefited a good cause. This year's swap is over, but if you want to participate next year, sign ups start in July, 2018. You can see photos of the 2017 Teal Mini Swaps on the group facebook page.

Now it is your turn! You can link up your in-progress or completed piecing projects using the blue button with the frog below. Please note that the thumbnail photos and links will not show up on this page. You will need to click the blue frog button below to see the photos and links. This may be a little different from what you are used to.  If you prefer, you can also link up on Instagram using #PiecefulSundayatJANDABendQuilts. ​
To see the link-ups or to add your link-up, click on the blue frog button.
Please include a link to this page in the blog post that you are linking up. If you wish, you can include the Pieceful Sunday button as well. After linking up, I hope that you will stop by the posts of others to see their work. Encouraging comments are welcome. Quilters tend to be nurturing and supportive.  I am hoping that this Linky Party will help us establish an encouraging quilting group.

Happy Quilting!
