Fit to be Quarter Winners

Hi all!

Back from Market and catching up on things.  I wanted to post the Fit to be Quarter winners and then will blog more about Market later this week.  The two winners are:

pcflamingo who said:

"Gotta be my rotary cutter. Or my Easy Angle ruler. Or my snips. Color me indecisive."

Henrietta who said:

"My favorite quilting tool is my seam ripper. I use it for lots of other things not just frog stitching. It is useful to flip a seam over (or under) while stitching, tease threads out of seams when pressing or guide when curved piecing.

I have always bought the cheap blue ones (naming no names) but got very tired of them simply snapping. I have been pleased with the Fons and Porter ergonomic handle one, worth every penny."

Thanks everyone for participating!

Look for the next blog hop to be starting next week!  It will be with Gudrun Erla from GE Designs and her new book will be featured.  Table Talk is published by Kansas City Star and is a wonderful compilation of table toppers, table runners and family treats.  She even used Olde World Style in one of her designs and it graces the cover!  So, make sure you come back to visit the blog hop and see her wonderful new book.

See you later this week!

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....
