4th of July Blog Tour - Day 5

Hi Everyone!

This is our last day for the blog tour.  Make sure that you stop by Thelma's blog:

Thelma from Cupcakes 'n Daisies

I met Thelma when she was taking a class from Carrie from Miss Rosie's Quilt Co here in Rockford.  We all went out for dinner after the class and I had the pleasure of sitting next to Thelma.  We became fast friends because she is a dog lover like I am.  We chatted about our dogs and quilting.  Instant friends!  She has a wonderful blog that I make sure that I read every day.  I love her fabric choices and when we did the blog tour on Fat Quarter Winners, I thought her take on Crazy Eights was fantastic.  She included a piano key border on the outside that just made the quilt.

Now, for the winner of my drawing.  It is:

andsewon, who said:

"This July 4th we are staying home and having a sweet niece over for cook out. We will just eat sit and talk, maybe stitch some later.No fireworks this year as too dry and hot!"

Congratulations!  She is the winner of a Fit to be Quarter ruler and the kit for the Quarter Square Mini Quilt kit.

Hope everyone enjoyed the blog tour and will see you next 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....
