Irish Quilting Magazine

It's no secret that I love Ireland.  I think it's so beautiful and inviting.  When Sue and I visited, we saw so many wonderful things, met some great people and enjoyed the breath taking scenery.  There was so much inspiration in the colors and the scenery.





A couple of years back, I received a request for advertising in Irish Quilting magazine.  I emailed them back and asked if they were interested in having some submissions for there magazine instead.  They were and the rest is history!  The first quilt that I designed for them is Blue me Over.  Here is a picture:

The latest quilt that I designed for them is called Fields of Green.  I love the way they photograph the quilts in the surrounding countryside.  Wouldn't that be an awesome job?!  Traveling around Ireland to photograph quilts?  Hmm...I wonder if they have an opening?!  Here is Fields of Green and we do have both the kit and magazine available on www.bundlesandbolts.com.


Have a great day and see you later!

Cheers!

Absolutely beautiful! No Irish blood here - but if you live anywhere in the Chicago area - there's one day a year when everyone's Irish!

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!

Welcome! It is so nice to once again be included in the magazine and the blog tour!  I love to hear from everyone and hope that you will comment for a chance to win a copy of the magazine plus much more! The block that is included in the Quiltmaker 100 Block Volume 5 is called Diamond Eyes.  It may not be a surprise to some of you that one of my favorite elements in a block and quilts as well, is the diamond shape.  I think it adds beauty to the quilts and some different elements.  Here is my block: Since my husband has been ill and I have been working on getting ready for Market, I decided to do some give-aways instead of a project.  I hope that you understand and although I don't have alot of time, I can do some great give-aways.  If you make a comment, you will be entered to win one of the following: First, the magazine is giving away a copy of the Quiltmaker 100 Blocks Volume 5. Second, my newest rulers will be debuting at Market.  It is a "mini"
