Bluesville…..

Bluesville…..

Thanks for stopping by for Emily’s Scrap Republic Book Tour!

You didn’t know you were coming to the Blue Nickel on a tour day?? Oh then it is your lucky day…there’s a fun little interview….a little delving into the book…and a whole lotta blue pictures….AND a WHOPPER of a prize offering….I mean seriously….FIVE prizes to FIVE people! That rocks!!

Emily wanted all of the stops along the tour to reflect a particular color as the book is such a celebration of color!  I tried to get my favorite color which is red, but for some reason I was forced into getting blue….probably something to do with branding and keeping me in line, but whatever!  🙂  🙂

So I have been looking for my favorite blue stuff, and the good thing is that like Emily, I also love abundant color and therefore had no problem finding a lot of blue around here…as evidenced throughout this post..

I also thought it would be fun to give Emily a mini “blue” interview about …well..blueness….

What 3 songs make you Bluer than Blue??

  • – Red Rain
  • – We All Live in a Yellow Submarine
  • – Black Hole Sun

and here’s the song that inspired that question  😉

<object style=”height: 390px; width: 640px”><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/gdDSJ2NddyE?version=3″><param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”><param name=”allowScriptAccess” value=”always”><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/gdDSJ2NddyE?version=3″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowfullscreen=”true” allowScriptAccess=”always” width=”640″ height=”360″></object>

 

 

What 3 things make you as Happy as Blue Skies?

  • – grey skies
  • – finishing up a big project
  • – and seeing happy little smilie faces belonging to Maeve & Liam


Pick one of these three: Blueberry shake, Blueberry muffin, Blueberry pancakes…

None of the above. Blueberries are the worst things to ever grow on a plant. Strawberries on the other hand…

(we obviously have a rule breaker here!)


 

Two truths and a lie:

  • — Actively sought out grizzly bears (to photograph) on our honeymoon
  • — Sewing machine shaped tattoo on my lower back
  • — Toenail polish of choice: blue with rainbow sparkly sprinkles

Okay….and I should talk about the book too, huh?  Simply put….buy it! That is if you love color and have a ton of scraps and love good instructions and don’t like to toss out even the tiniest bit of THAT favorite print, or THAT one, or THAT one either.  You can use them all!!

What’s more even if you don’t have a ton of scraps, each of the scrappy quilts shown has an alternate version that you can use for that incredible fat quarter pack you bought back in 2009 but can’t figure out what you want to do with it.  You know the one I am talking about.  If you get this book, you can finally get some use out of that pack AND be on your way to the obsessive compulsive hoarder collector of a great start on the scrappier versions!

Are you ready for the prizes? Check it out!

  • – Scrap Republic from C&T Publishing — printed version for US residents, PDF for international

  • – Scrap Republic Eco Tote from C&T Publishing — US residents only

  • – Bag o’ Scraps from Robert Kaufman — US and International

 

  • – ROY G BIV Essential Cotton Thread in Red, Pumpkin, Butter, Lime, Cerulean, Midnight, and Red Violet from Connecting Threads — US residents only

  • – Mrs. Roy G. Biv Pattern from Carolina Patchworks (the pattern that inspired the book!) — US and International

All you need to do is tell me about your favorite blue, however you interpret that! oh, and try to guess what Emily’s lie is from above.  I will let you know when I announce the winners next week!

And in case you missed the schedule, here you go…remember this prize package is at EVERY stop of the tour! is that incredible or what?!  Tomorrow my friend John has a cool group…Indigo, Black, Brown, Grey……hhhhmmm that sounds like an awesome quilt, doesn’t it?

  • My favourite blue is sky blue…there is nothing better than a sky without a cloud in it! Takes my breath away every time!

    Oh and I think the lie is Toenail polish of choice: blue with rainbow sparkly sprinkles :o)

  • Right now I’d have to say my favorite blue is blue skies. We have been having extraordinary amount of rain for our area and it’s been so nice to have 2 days of blue skies and sunshine!
    And I think the lie is the blue toenail polish.

  • My favourite blue is probably a bit boring but it would be the colour of the sea. I live in country Australia and I love summer time when I can take a holiday by the sea, going fishing and just watching the waves. And I think the lie is the sparkly toe nail varnish…don’t know why, it just doesn’t seem to fit.

    Hi,
    My favourite Blue… that is hard because I love blue but I would have to go the bright blue of a clear spring sky, you know those days when you look at the sky and go “wow, is it always that colour?”

    As for Truth and Lie I am going to have to guess it is the toenail polish : )

    I love all blues but I think a cobalt blue would be my favorite (with white – smashing). After your interview and the book, I would not be able to tell which would be a lie but it might be the tattoo as I don’t think she would have the patience to sit or lay there without doing something. Of course that could also apply to searching for the grizzleys. Thanks.

    The ocean of course! Blues of all shades. Well sometimes green sneaks in there but I;m lovin all the blues in the ocean. As for lies, the nail polish is just weird enuf to be true so I’m going with the tattoo as the lie! Thanks for the fun….

    Blue is my favorite color but there are so many other colors that I like, too! Today, my favorite shade of blue would be turquoise. I went on a fund raiser bike ride for an Extreme Makeover Home Edition recipient yesterday and there was the coolest turquoise bike in the ride. Very cool looking bike but I’m sure I couldn’t get my husband to buy a bike in that color so I’ll have to settle for turquoise fabric instead.

    I’d say the toenail polish is the lie.

  • I love blue, in all shapes, colors and forms. It is my absolute favorite color! I don’t know that I could actually pick one blue thing that I love more than any other! I’m going to guess that Emily’s lie is the sewing machine shaped tattoo. I know, it probably seems more likely that she would have a tattoo before she would seek out grizzly bears, but I’m going to guess that it’s a trick question!

    My favorite blue is French Blue.” I have some old Bauer dishes on display and every time I sew something new for the kitchen (or dining room, or living room) I seem to use blues to show off my prized French Blue pottery.

    The lie? Duh. I’ve seen the tat and it isn’t a sewing machine. It’s just your run of the mill lower back tat.

It reminds me of the sun and sky everywhere I look. Not to mention beeeautiful yellow flowers framed on the blue sky. Makes me feel like scrap quilting every. single. time. Lie would be: mercy, the tatoo?

  • Great post – love the collection of blue things! My favorite blue happened one afternoon on a cruise back from Lanai to Maui – the ocean was this incredible bluish-green “Laguna Blue” from Ceramcoat paints. Just incredible…..I think its the toenail polish – the tattoo is too crazy to be actually true!

  • Not really fond of blue at all, but having to pick one I’d probably say either a very gray blue or a deep navy. Does teal count? Teal’s ok. I’m thinking the nail polish is probably the not true.

    Favorite blue? – the color of the shallow water when you look down at the ocean here in Hawaii – a really cool turquoise. I think the lie is about the toenail polish, but only because it’s the most believable truth! And why isn’t your name Red Nickel Studio if that’s your favorite color?

    The Blue Nickel vs. Red Nickel story? Well it is a long story that involves an actual blue nickel that I found years ago, and I thought it sounded like a great spot to hang out….”catch up with you later at the Blue Nickel” “see you at the Blue Nickel” that sort of thing. The funny thing is, I found that same nickel (yes, I saved it) and it is red on the other side…but the Red Nickel just didn’t flow for me, you know?

  • My favorite blue is robin’s egg blue. I remember finding the ‘post-hatched’ shells when I was little and marveling at how nature could make such a beautiful color!

It’s such a natural color, because we all love pretty blue skies, don’t we? 🙂 I’m working on a blue and yellow quilt right now, and my favorite blue in this quilt is the navy with white polka-dots. It just looks so crisp. I love navy blue clothes, too, but I have such a hard time finding navy pants, I don’t know why.

And I think that Toenail polish of choice: blue with rainbow sparkly sprinkles is the lie. Thanks for the chance to win, and the mini blue interview was fun!

  • Instead of the most liked blue, I’ll tell you my most disliked blue: The colour of the babyphone lights when one of my two little boys starts crying… Happend already 5 times within the last 3 hours… aaah! You can’t finish a project with a sick little one ;o(
    The lie is probably the tattoo, isn’t it?

    My husband was in the infantry so maybe I should say infantry blue but I really much prefer a slate blue unless we’re talking about the sky and then it has to be that color of blue when there aren’t any clouds and there is just a touch of nip in the air at about 7a on an October morning. (I don’t think that blue has a particular name.)

    Blue is my favorite color anyway, so it’s quite hard to pick and describe that one and only favorite blue of mine…

    Well, my favorite one is not really blue… it’s turquiose.
    But not the green-ish turquiose, rather the more blue shade of that color.

    I just love this color… it kinda calms me down whenenver needed (and yes, it’s needed 24 hours a day, I must confess…) – I don’t know why, but it has a real soothing effect on me… (one of the reasons why almost every room in my appartment is turquoise or blue? (5 times blue, 2 times turquiose, only one black/white/silver one…)

    Anyway: back to my favorite color. It’s the blue that you can see when you are looking for a postcard from the place where you spend your holiday… the “photoshopped” and way overdone turquiose-blue in which the sea appears on all those cards… I don’t like the sea… I just love the color 😀

    Nuff said.

    About the lie… the nailpolish-thingie doesn’t seem trustworthy… at least not to me…

    P.S.: wonderful giveaway!

    My favorite blues tend to be children’s cartoon animals. In particular, I’m a fan of Pilchard from Bob the Builder, & Blue from Blue’s Clues. I know I’m too old for either of those, so I use my kids as an excuse to watch them 🙂

    I was always dressed in blue as a baby and it is still my favorite color. My most favoritest blue is French or Periwinkle Blue (my sil says Periwinkle is French Blue, but then she would because everything French is “vastly superior.”) Our guest bedroom is painted this blue and it is very calming (helpful in a home with a teenage boy). Oh, yes, I think the lie is the tatoo.

  • My favourite blue is a peacock blue; love that shade. I think the lie is the toenail polish.

  • hi!!
    without a doubt, blue is my favourite colour, if you look at my fabric stash, you can see it
    if I could “make” a fabric picking up a shade of blue, I would use the colour of the sky when it is between day and afternoon
    a lie? I think the tatoo, can’t imagine it 😉

    I’ve always loved periwinkle blue. (I noticed there are a few of you other periwinkle lovers out there too.)

    I think the tattoo is the lie.

  • Caribbean blue is my favorite. The tattoo is the lie. Thanks for the giveaway!

    Just picked out plaster color for the kids room and went with a soft gray/blue. Hopefully it looks great!
    I think the “Sewing machine shaped tattoo on my lower back” is a lie. 🙂

    I always go with a deep blue toenail polish for summer so that is my fav and I will say the tatoo is the lie.

    My favorite blue color is indigo- I have some indigo bluebirds that eat at my feeder- they are brilliant in color- just beautiful. I think the “lie” is nail polish

  • I like the blue of the sky, when we can see it! Not easy at this time of year here…

    I love blue, its been my favorite color since I was a kid. I love blueberries, I love my blue square plates from IKEA, I love the blue on my bedroom walls, just for starters…
    My guess is the tattoo is a lie. I have blue fingernail polish and I can imagine trying to (safely) photograph a grizzly. But you never know!

  • blue skies, nuthin’ but blue skies up above!
    and the lie is the sewing machine tattoo on your back.

  • I love the blue in my husband’s eyes. He has beautiful blue eyes! I think the lie is Toenail polish of choice: blue with rainbow sparkly sprinkles.. because seeking out grizzly bears on a honeymoon is just crazy enough to be true.

    Repeating many but the blue sky is my favorite. It is varied, season to season, and makes me at peace just looking at it.

    I love all shades of blue but my favorite would have to be cornflower blue. I’m going to guess that the lie is the tattoo, though I have wanted a small sewing machine tattoo for a long time. I just never have the guts to go through with it! Thanks for the opportunity to win!=)

    OK, I’m “in”! Love this post – and your quilts too (so much color). The lie has to be about the toenail polish! And I love cobalt blue, reminds me of the sky out in New Mexico, so gorgeous! And yummy blueberries – I grow lots of them, dozens and dozens of bushes here on the property, and love to eat them warm in my hands as I pick them! Do you have a child named Maeve? So unusual to see the name in print anywhere. That is my first name also. Very Irish! Love your site, have bookmarked it today! And thanks for the giveaway opportunities!

    Can I say I love your blue fabric pictured above? I love blue skies and the ocean when its clear blue. This book looks great! My guess for the lie is about the nail polish. Thank you for the giveaway.

    The Atlantic Ocean on a sunny day is my favorite blue… so many different shades in there! I’m going to guess that the sewing machine tattoo is the lie.
    Fingers crossed!!!

    This is the first time I’ve been to your Blog and must say, you are a very funny person. I’m sorry you didn’t get red as your color (I’m not usually a red person but did buy quite a bit of red/white fabrics lately) but blue is a beautiful color. I love to see blue skies (although we’ve had a lot rain lately), the ocean and forget-me-not flowers. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to win something and I have added your Blog to my favorites.

    Well the blue I like has a lot of gray in it. And just to be different I am going to guess that the untruth is the part about the honeymoon spent seeking bears. Thanks for the chance to win an awesome prize!

    I just found your blog via twomoreseconds…WOW! How cool. I love the blues in your banner!!
    Just yesterday I was agonising over whether or not to throw out some teeny tiny scraps – glad I didn’t! Just in case I win the book:) Fingers crossed!
    As for blue, I love the New Order song ‘Blue Monday’ and most definitely the blue of the sky over the beach in summer in Melbourne, but for sewing…electric blue wins hands down.

    I love blue, just about any blue will do. I am especially fond of the bright cheerful blues that are so popular right now.

    October 14, 2011 at 10:07 am
  • i really love the bright aqua blues that pop so well with red. i haven’t done a quilt in it, but one day i will.

    i’m guessing that the nail polish statement is a lie, because it makes me happy to think that someone has a sewing machine tattooed on their back!

    also, i LOVE the mug on the right! i’ve never seen a milk glass mug in that shape, it’s fabulous! i have the fire king mug on the right, and i adore it. i’m glad to see someone else using theirs as storage!

    I think the mug on the right is also fire king…newer maybe or older?? aren’t they both great!?

    Fav Blue? We just returned from Moab Utah where the blue of the sky against all those red and gold monoliths is unbelievably stunning.
    Having just had my 30+ year old tattoo redone ( I forgot how much they hurt!) I have to choose that.

    all blues from palest to darkest (with the exception of baby blue, not much of a fan) and …. the grizzly bear.
