Quiltmaker 100 Blocks

In the past year there have been 2 issues of Quiltmaker 100 Blocks.  I have been in both and it has been such a great experience.  The third issue is due to come out at the beginning of May and I will have a block in that issue too.  I'm very excited about it and wanted to give you a sneak peek of the cover:


There will be a blog tour like last time and also a quilt gallery.  During the blog tour, I will be giving away a copy of the magazine plus more surprises.  Last time when I participated in the blog tour, I designed a tablerunner using my block.  This time, I will have another project for you to download.  Hope you can join me on the blog tour and enter for a chance to win.

Don't forget to stop by Thelma's blog to see her tutorial and her progress on Crazy Eights. 

Good news!  C&T contacted me to let me know that the books are on their way.  So, for those of you who pre-ordered Fat Quarter Winners, your book will be in the mail later this week.  If you are interested in ordering a book, you can order it through my website.  Click on the link and it will take you right to the book: Fat Quarter Winners

See you tomorrow!

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.  Here are some ideas: Simple on point with s

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 copy of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Volume 8!
