Grocery Store

As soon as Ayumi picked her theme  Grocery Store for her month in the Ringo Pie Bee,  I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to make.





I love Bonne Maman Jam jars and have a problem putting them into the recycling bin - I have a stash in my basement.   My husband thinks I'm a bit crazy. 
I'm pretty sure Martha Stewart has a tutorial of how you can make an outdoor candelabra with jars : )  At least that is what I tell my husband!
 I can't help myself - I just love the gingham lids and the pretty labels.
 One of my first paper piecing blocks was this one here which looks just like a Bonne Maman jar : )
I think a "Pantry" block is in my future.  These items are inspiring me right now.
What inspires you these days?

    So funny! I am the same way about those jars. The Cherry is my fave from them. Nice job on the blocks, always inspiring to see them. Lately I'm inspired by trying new things. I'm in the NYBeauty QAL and the QOLoud one as well to better my paper piecing skills and I joined a doll quilt swap I'm excited to try. Next up, printing on fabric.

    So so so cute! I used to buy BM only because the jars are super cute, and you did such an amazing job capturing the adorable plaid lid and cute labels! It just makes me want to pick up the cherries and put them in the cherry preserves jar! I adore this block so much and am so excited that it will be part of my grocery store quilt! Thank you so much Charise!!
