QM Rocks the Blocks

Today is the launch of the debut issue of Quilts from Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks!  If you go to Quiltmaker's blog, they are giving away issues of the magazine.  The magazine features quilts made from the blocks from the Quiltmaker 100 Block magazines. 

I am fortunate enough to be included in the magazine!  I contributed Mezzanine to this issue, shown below. It’s made with block #162, my design for Volume 2, called Tile Works.
I used black, cream and red from Memories of Provence.  Let me know what you think!

Exciting things are coming up in the next couple of months:

Several other bloggers and I will be doing a blog hop on my new book, Traditional Fat Quarter Quilts through C&T Publishing.  Look for that at the end of March.  There will be giveaways, tips and some surprises! 

I have designed a new ruler and will be debuted at Quilt Market in May.  I'm very excited about it and hope you will like it too!  I'm sure that once it is out, I will be doing some giveaways. 

I have been furiously sewing and creating and will have several new patterns out for Market as well. 

Thanks for dropping by and hope to see you again soon!

Congratulations! WoooWoooWoooo!

I will be looking for the magazine AND the picture of your beautiful quilt. Good job.

As for the ruler, I am sure it will immediately jump to the top of my "MUST HAVE" list. Okay, maybe only to second place. Nothing is EVER going to beat the Fit to be Geese ruler. It is the B.E.S.T. :)

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....

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 c...

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....
