A Sailboat Excursion and a Picnic Basket full of all your favorite foods on a warm summer day. Sandcastle Play on a nearby beach and Chasing Fireflies as a cooling breeze introduces a star-filled night sky. Summer Watermelon Sampler is our tribute to warm summer days, ice cold watermelon and a lazy-day nap in a Backyard Hammock.

You have two options with this queen-sized quilt. You can use the golden Sunshine block or the alternate Wildflowers block to compliment the sampler blocks. Add sashing, Prairie Points, a golden border and binding.

The bonus blocks circulate through the "Prize Verification Confirmation Page." This page appears after you have successfully registered for prizes on the "Prize Verification Page." When you find a bonus block, click on the block to download a PDF of that block and assembly instructions. Also, check your list of visited shops in your member area to re-download block pdfs you have missed downloading.

Remember that the bonus blocks are moving around all the time, so you may need to check the shops more than once to find them all—a great reason to revisit your favorite shops!

From July 1-31st, the material list and assembly directions, the two alternate blocks, plus your June Summer Watermelon Sampler bonus block finds will be in your member area. After July 31st, the Summer Watermelon Sampler quilt pattern or kit may be available for purchase at these shops.

I'm so excited. This is my third shop hop this year. I'm hooked. It is so much fun looking at new web sites, seeing the fabrics and notions available around the country and beyond. I was shocked when I won a $10.00 gift certificate in the April hop. I got something for myself and something to share with my friend that's teaching me to quilt. What fun! I look forward to more hops.

Thanks,
Julie
