Quiltmakers Vol 9 100 Blocks!!!

Welcome blog hoppers!!
WOW!!  How time flies!  VOL 9  100 Blocks has hit the stands and boy I'm excited! 

 There are some wonderful, great and awesome blocks to play with from this issue.   My project list just got bigger again :).  Can't wait to get started. 

I was lucky enough to have one of my blocks chosen to be in this issue.  Hooray!

Block #898 - Two Tulips

I love flowers and was sketching one day and come up with this block.  And what perfect timing since my tulips are in full bloom right now!!  (but they are the only things in bloom, no green thumb here)

There are so many color ways for this block.  

Here's a quilt I designed in EQ7.

The size is 70" square.  How about doing just four blocks to finish a 30" square.

How about a long runner?!?

WIth EQ7 it's soooo easy to create all sorts of layouts and designs.

I get lost in it sometimes goofing around.

Let your mind go crazy with all that you can do with these 100 blocks. 

 Mix and match, add and duplicate, switch and turn.  The possibilities are endless.  Have fun!!

Now, as you all know, there is always a give away.

Kits, Kits and more Kits

I've been cutting for days!!  or so it seems.

Kits for the Alaskan Cruise I'm teaching on .  Did I tell you about that?  I'm off to ALASKA in a couple of months with an amazing group from Quiltmaker magazine!!!!!  And on a cruise no less!!!  I've  always wanted to go, kind of a bucket list thing and the chance comes up and I jump on it.  Here's the link to check in out.  Block Party with Quiltmaker.  Can't wait!!!

UFO projects.....

Done!  I finally worked on a few UFO's over the weekend.  It felt great having them finished!!  Even though they are small table runners, it's amazing how much time it takes to get things done.  

I used a double sided fusible batting from The Warm Company and I quilted these myself.  So my enormous UFO pile is now only huge instead.  Got to start somewhere, right??

Just keep sewing!

Guess What???!!!???

I'm going to be on TV!!!!  Can you believe it?!?  

I was asked to do a TV spot for The Warm Company, promoting my favorite product - Steam-A-Seam!  We shot video last weekend with an amazing group of people at KS Productions in Solon, Ohio.  

We had a fabulous time!!  Yes, I drug my hubby along to keep me company.

Here I am with Hostess, Susan Burbaker Knapp on set at Quilting Arts.  My segment will air this summer, I don't have a date yet.  More photo's to come.....

Happy Sewing!

Quilts from Doha, Qatar!!!

These ladies are from Qatar!  

Here are the pictures of their quilting class on applique.  

Pretty awesome, right?!?!?

  I love all the different fabrics they used on the Skinnies.

Thanks for sharing your projects with us

Happy Sewing!!

Quiltmaker March/April 2014 arrived!

 It's here!!  A brand new great issue.

This bright and cheery Spring table runner is mine and it's on page 66 of this issue!!

The runner finishes 16" x 44"

Yo-Yo flower centers add fun and depth to the quilt.  

Plus hot pink rick rack makes it pop.

 I was able to use a lot of  Spring brights from my stash.  

This is a quick and super easy project of half-square-triangles and fusible web applique.

So what's in your stash that you can use???

Get your issue and start sewing!!!!

Enjoy!

Need your vote

I need your help!  Skinnies are in the making and I need your help to decide on the Easter Skinnie for this years release.  I really like both my ideas, but can't make up my mind. 

So, I'm asking you

#1  - One tall chocolate bunny

#2 - Peeps, 3-5 peeps all different bright Spring colors

Just like all the Skinnies, the images would be strip-pieced

Which one would you prefer???

Leave your comment and tell me.

Thanks!!!!!

It's ready!!! Finally ready!!!

YES, it's finally here.  What's here, you ask??
