More Memories of Provence

So, I have been furiously working on the Block of the Month.  I have been getting up early and trying to get as much done as I can.  I have another job that I work at so before I go to work, I sew and when I get home too.  The weather has been so nice hear (80's and sunny, very little humidity) so in the evening, Tillie and I go for a long walk to get the willies out.  It helps her because yesterday, I met a couple friends for dinner and when I got home, she was wild!  Bill said that she wouldn't come in and she had started two new "projects" in the back yard...holes!  She won't come in for Bill sometimes and spent the whole day outside working on her projects...maybe she thinks that she is working on her Block of the Month!!  So, here is some of her handy work:


Then, this morning, she decided that she didn't want to come in for me.  I went out to get her and she was standing by her hole.  I walked up and said:  "This is a no!"  She looked at me and took off runnig circles in the back yard.  I couldn't help it.  I had to laugh.  Now, Bill has warned me that you can't discipline her when you are laughing but sometimes I just can't help it!  She is so funny!  The good news is that she just likes to dig, she doesn't try to dig to get out of the yard.  Can you believe that this sweet face would do that?!


Here are the next four blocks for the Block of the Month.  I am loving the black in here.
 
 Block #4

 Block #5

 Block #6

Block #7

Here is a close up of the border.  I think it's really going to set things off.


Also, I wanted to clarify that the fabric will arrive in stores in September and there are several shops that will be offering the Block of the Month.  I thought it would be fun for you guys to see how it is coming together. 

The Block of the Month program has an option of two different settings.  The one that I showed you on my last blog is setting #2 and I'm actually doing setting #1 with the black.  Here is setting #1:


More next week.  Have a great weekend!

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!

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.
