Thank you everyone!

One of the most gratifying things about blogging is the comments that you guys make.  I love to read them and feel like I'm getting to know you all a bit.  Some of them make me laugh and that's always a good thing!  You guys are the best!  Keeping commenting and I will keep blogging and doing giveaways. 

I've been setting up some blog tours in late spring and summer so make sure that you keep stopping by to see what's up.  Remember, there are always giveaways!

Today's is Thelma's blog post so stop by her blog to see what her interview is about. 

My mom mentioned to me that I haven't had a picture of Tillie lately on my blog.  There are reasons for this: spring and muddy feet.  Sometimes she comes in with her white feet as black as her black body and her muzzle too!  Yuk!  She is not so fond of being cleaned off but she has not choice.  She loves to bite the rag and if it's a paper towel, forget it...it's in her mouth and chewed.  She still has this paper fetish and runs as soon as she gets a piece.  So here she is, dirty and sassy:


I have been working on the free pattern for the Fit to be Quarter ruler and here are some of the pieces.  I decided to use those yummy blues and whites that I had originally thought would work for Spades.  I'm on a deadline so am working to get it done for LeAnne to quilt. 

See you guys tomorrow!

Oh my, I have always said blue is not my colour of choice, but I could easily be persuaded if I was to see to many fabrics like the ones you have chosen. Love them...a collection? ..or just a gathering of your faves?

Tilly really does look sassy in that adorable picture. Kind of like she is showing you her muddy feet and saying ... "Na na na Naaaaa, naaaaaa!, LOL. Love those furry babies. The blues you have chosen are just gorgeous I can't wait to see the finished quilt. Hugs...

Monique, my comment came up with my sons name, Bernie. Hope this will fix it. Not very computer savvy.

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!
