Quilter's Window Giveaway

My good friend, Denise from Quilter's Window is having a giveaway of Fat Quarter Winners book.  Make sure that you go to her blog and leave a comment.  She is giving you a week to leave a comment and next Wednesday, she will draw a winner.  The book is even signed by yours truely. 

The blog book tour continues today with Lisa from Stashmaster giving her tutorial.  Stop by her blog and see what she is showing.  I can't wait to see her quilt, Pinochle. 

Another one of my favorites in Fat Quarter Winners is Whist.  The quilt can be made using both of my rulers, the Fit to be Square and Fit to be Geese.  In the directions in the book I also give you the instructions to make the block using the traditional method.  This is a great quilt because you can use up all the fabric in a fat quarter bundle or from your stash.  I used the leftovers from the fat quarters for binding and the additional fat quarters for the backing.  It doesn't have a border on the quilt either so you don't need to worry about having yardage.  You can always add a border or two to make the quilt bigger, it's up to you. 


Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Of all the pictures I've seen from the book so far I think this one is my favourite! For someone whose triangles seem slightly allergic to points, it looks quite tricky though, are there Y seams? I think all the tutorials may well tempt me to try it. Hope the book reaches the UK soon.

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....

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....
