Blog Hop Day 1

Welcome to our blog hop featuring quilts from my new book Traditional Fat Quarter Quilts!




We are kicking of the blog hop with one of my favorite bloggers, Thelma from Cupcake's 'n Daisies.  I met Thelma through Carrie Nelson from Miss Rosie's Quilt Co.  Thelma is such a sweetheart and her quilting is truly inspirational.  If you haven't visited her blog, please do!  You will be inspired and excited to read about her and see her lovely quilts.  She also has a wonderful dog, Cooper and will share some funny stories about him.  And...I hear that a rumor is going around that I may be giving a prize away and it might be Tillie.  Thelma, some days you can take her but I think Bill and Maple might miss her!  :)  (Me too!)

Who me?  I'm innocent!
During the blog hop, you will have a chance at each blogger's blog to win a copy of Traditional Fat Quarter Quilts.  You will also get to see some wonderful adaptations of quilts from the book.  The bloggers that are joining me are not only creative but are fun and if you haven't read their blogs, you should.
Join me tomorrow for the second day, more chances to win and to see who is the blogger of the day!

Thanks for stopping by and see you tomorrow.

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....
