Seriously..I think it needs stitches.: Chocolate Chip Cookie Quilt Block Tutorial

Happy Monday! I hope your week is getting off to a good start. I could use some caffeine if I'm being honest. But this cookie will have to do for right now. :) It's a fabric chocolate chip cookie!

Cookie quilt? I need to write some of these blocks into full patterns and put them in my shop. I really like this one! I think I'll do it! I had mocked one up and it was so cute! But it seemed weird for all of the cookies to be half eaten. So I'm still tweaking it. I'll show you the final design when I get it done. Would any of you be interested in a chocolate chip cookie quilt?

Where's the milk when you need it! Wait! I just remembered! There was a National Milk Day block. haha! Way back near the start of this project.

They complete each other. :) These cookies and milk are giving me life right now. haha!

That's it for today. I'm off to tinker with the cookie quilt design.. I'll be back in a couple of days with the next block on my list. Next in line is a block that's for National Underwear Day. ha! Underwear has a National Day? The block turned out really cute though, I promise! I can't wait to share it!

Hope to see you then.

Happy Stitching!

xoxo,

P.S. I love to see blocks and quilts that are made with any of my patterns. If you make any and post on social media, please come find me in any of the places listed below, and tag me so I can see! :) If you're on YouTube, check out the short musical video tutorials of some of these blocks. I'm hoping they might inspire kids, or anyone really, to learn to sew. :) Plus, they're just fun to do.
