Quiltmakers 100 Block Blog Tour Winner

Congratulations, Marlene@kissedquilts.com who said:

"Recently I heard someone say it is the experiences that you can cherish not the things...so I'd have to say...after the movie....but black pearls - the jewelry are beautiful!"

Thanks so much to everyone who commented on the blog tour!  The general consensus was that most people preferred to spend their money on jewelry instead of movies.  Of course, if the choice was fabric or movies and jewelry, we all know what we would choose! 

I had a book signing in Rockford at Acorn Quilts this past weekend and it was very successful!  It was so much fun to see familiar faces and meet some new quilters.  Thanks everyone for coming out!  Here is a picture of me at my table with the one book that I had left...awesome turnout!

Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the tour!

Congratulations Marlene.

OH my gosh Monique! As I was looking at your block and reading about it your name never hit me although it really should have.

I wanted to come down to to see you at Acorn Quilts and totally spaced it out. UGH! Now I'm mad at myself. :( I recently found that shop after visiting so many others in my area that I wasn't happy with for one reason or another but I LOVE Acorn Quilts, They are SO helpful and go out of their way to help beginners like me.

Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Blog Tour

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...
