The books have arrived!

Oh happy day!  The books arrived Friday and I sent all the orders out on Saturday morning.  I'm so excited!  They look awesome and can't wait for everyone to see one. 

I'm working on Spades and am very close to getting it done.  I may even have it quilted before the final reveal!  I am going to be bringing it to Quilt Market so I've been hustling to get it finished.  Sneak peek:

Make sure that you stop by Nicole's blog today to catch her interview with me.  This is the third week of our book tour and I can't believe how quickly it has gone.  Next week is the big reveal and we will announce our winners. 

Thanks for stopping by and will see you tomorrow for my day to post.

I think Spades would look good using most any fabric, but I'm loving the looks of it with that Maison de Garance! Can't wait to see more!

How exciting! I'm going to market this year too (my sister invited me to join her). I'm going to make sure I look out for your booth so I can see Spades. It looks so gorgeous!

These quilts are beautiful. I see several I would like to make. Also enjoyed the photos of Ireland - this is on my list of places to visit. Maybe someday.

Spades is looking really good in the French General fabrics.

I have your mini ruler for geese. But would love the others as well. I am so glad you like to do math and figure out things so I can just use a ruler and have my quilts come out right. Thank you a big bunch.

Happy Friday!  Today is my day to join in the Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Blog Tour .  Yes, that means that I have a block included in the magazine!  The tour has been going on all week so make sure that you check out the other designers that are involved in the tour.   Here is the cover of the magazine: It's so great that they have printed 7 - 100 Block Magazines!  I am also so proud to say that I have been in all 7 issues!  My block is called Tiara...do you sense a theme these days?  I have a book coming up next week (squee!) called Diamond Traditions and I called this block Tiara...do you think I'm a princess?!  My husband sure thinks so!  Anyway, here is my block: I used the purple colorway of my fabric with Maywood Studio, Royal Gardens .  I love the way this block has a center that you can fussy-cut or use an interested print inside.  It was fun to make and there are so many possibilities to make a quilt with it....

Hi Everyone! Glad you could drop by for the blog tour.  It is day 2, make sure that you check out all the featured bloggers on the tour.  You can see who is blogging today and all week on Quiltmaker's Blog . My block is called Celtic Cross #775.  Here it is: When the editors of Quiltmaker's first decided  to do this, they had given out forms and information on how to submit a block.  So, I decided to go ahead and try it.  I am so glad that I did!  I have been in every volume and I can't believe that we are on Volume 8!  They have a great thing going.  I thought that I would give you some setting options for my block.  Here are a few: Set straight with no sashing For the second quilt, I added sashing and cornerstones in the quilt and they are shown above.  Now for the giveaways!  Quiltmaker will be giving an issue of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Volume 8 to one lucky winner.  I will also be giving a signed c...

Welcome! It is so nice to once again be included in the magazine and the blog tour!  I love to hear from everyone and hope that you will comment for a chance to win a copy of the magazine plus much more! The block that is included in the Quiltmaker 100 Block Volume 5 is called Diamond Eyes.  It may not be a surprise to some of you that one of my favorite elements in a block and quilts as well, is the diamond shape.  I think it adds beauty to the quilts and some different elements.  Here is my block: Since my husband has been ill and I have been working on getting ready for Market, I decided to do some give-aways instead of a project.  I hope that you understand and although I don't have alot of time, I can do some great give-aways.  If you make a comment, you will be entered to win one of the following: First, the magazine is giving away a copy of the Quiltmaker 100 Blocks Volume 5. Second, my newest rulers will be debuting at Market....
