Hello and welcome to my blog! I am thrilled to be part of the Moda LOVE Blog Hop today along with designers Kathy Schmidt and Bridgitte from Zen Chic.

I’m Edyta Sitar from Laundry Basket Quilts and I LOVE designing fabrics for you! My new collection from Moda is called “Heart’s Content” which is full of beautiful prints and colorful batiks to match. I LOVE my fabrics. 🙂 The “Sweetheart” quilt above is made with “Heart’s Content” that releases in Nov 2014.

There are lots of things that I LOVE, one of them is summer and the wildflower/weed bouquets that I receive from my children.

This summer we have a new LOVE that joined our family, his name is Oliver!

I LOVE the summer colors that inspires me and can be found in unexpected places.

I LOVE the farmers market for all of nature’s goodies like honey…

… and fresh fruit.

Every summer I look forward to our family reunion which equals LOVE, LOVE, LOVE,(and lots of good food). Even as I’m writing this post I can feel the LOVE. This year at the reunion I decided to share something that I LOVE with my family – a little bit of Quilting!
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8dce06_7af344e4ccfe4405b9ee410522484010~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_92,h_138,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/8dce06_7af344e4ccfe4405b9ee410522484010~mv2.jpg)
Our dining room quickly became the sewing room.
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8dce06_551c914d84c24cf9b27158a588856098~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_92,h_138,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/8dce06_551c914d84c24cf9b27158a588856098~mv2.jpg)
Young and old stitched together, patiently sharing…
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8dce06_ce66c90aefd347aca96b17cd41dbdf05~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_92,h_138,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/8dce06_ce66c90aefd347aca96b17cd41dbdf05~mv2.jpg)
…trimming…

… and helping each other.
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8dce06_ed7bfb370c894ed7984fd98c32dd613f~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_92,h_138,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/8dce06_ed7bfb370c894ed7984fd98c32dd613f~mv2.jpg)
There were many beautiful smiles and feelings of accomplishment, I think everyone was LOVING the process of creating!
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8dce06_4cb37a7857a543d88c3d3d28df1e8fcc~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_92,h_138,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/8dce06_4cb37a7857a543d88c3d3d28df1e8fcc~mv2.jpg)
The couch became a designing wall.
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8dce06_6ec43ad69a1f4283bfd9d2acad7890ff~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_92,h_138,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/8dce06_6ec43ad69a1f4283bfd9d2acad7890ff~mv2.jpg)
One minute their hands were full of crazy pieces.
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8dce06_31c4b77ce6a44381bedae5bd60995241~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_92,h_138,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/8dce06_31c4b77ce6a44381bedae5bd60995241~mv2.jpg)
And it seemed like only a few minutes later they were modeling with their projects!
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8dce06_2b520bfff4e746008451bb00aa0f27cd~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_92,h_138,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/8dce06_2b520bfff4e746008451bb00aa0f27cd~mv2.jpg)
It seemed like everything stopped outside.
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8dce06_101b9a6a98d940829b08d1bb2cea0705~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_92,h_138,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/8dce06_101b9a6a98d940829b08d1bb2cea0705~mv2.jpg)
The hay dried and the garden grew.
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8dce06_241e34c3933e4733a89c0a9646bfd290~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_92,h_138,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/8dce06_241e34c3933e4733a89c0a9646bfd290~mv2.jpg)
The hammock by the pool was empty.
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8dce06_7abf06c368424301b4839ad783bb95e5~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_92,h_138,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/8dce06_7abf06c368424301b4839ad783bb95e5~mv2.jpg)
All of the action and LOVE was inside. Some were busy ironing…
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8dce06_7ee3b19faa6c4f84881f8be2d44e190d~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_92,h_138,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/8dce06_7ee3b19faa6c4f84881f8be2d44e190d~mv2.jpg)
… while others only dreamed of quilting.
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8dce06_928f5ca6a2194f37ab64a82cd6a26775~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_113,h_75,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/8dce06_928f5ca6a2194f37ab64a82cd6a26775~mv2.jpg)
But in the end we all emerged full of LOVE from spending time together and being reminded how much we LOVE this old family tradition.
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8dce06_62cce62bd8ce4d75a703da3d0b965b08~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_92,h_138,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/8dce06_62cce62bd8ce4d75a703da3d0b965b08~mv2.jpg)
As soon as their quilts were finished some made plans to give them away with unconditional LOVE to those who could not make the reunion.
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8dce06_325e9798451b4fada04d3549919c1ce3~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_92,h_132,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/8dce06_325e9798451b4fada04d3549919c1ce3~mv2.jpg)
Others held them tight.
