National Sewing Month Blog Event!

Did you know that September is National Sewing Month?  Well, I didn't until United Notions brought it to my attention and asked if I would be a guest blogger on their blog, the Moda Cutting Table Blog.  I will be blogging on September 12 and talking about my ruler Fit to be Quarter 6.5 & Companion.  If you were looking at this ruler and were wondering what it is used for, well, now you can see it on September 12.  Not only that, but on Moda Cutting Table Blog, I will be giving away a set of all my rulers! 
Make sure that you stop by their blog because they are featuring different rulers all month and will have several give-aways throughout the month!

Hi Monique, I have your fit to be quarter 6.5 and companion, and fit to be geese rulers. Your fit to be quarter 6.5 ruler is my all time favorite ruler! Any chance you'll ever have a fit to be quarter 12.5 or larger ruler? I would be the first in line to buy it! Have a great day!

I would love to learn more about your Flying Geese ruler. I watched the video but I think it only shows the squaring up process. These specialty rulers can really help with accuracy. Helping me end up with a block the right size :-)

I love the looks of that ruler. Easy to read and use. I have "older eyes" so I need all the help i can get. Great stuff!

My favorite notion is my rotary cutter. I love the speed and accuracy. Of course, hand in hand with the cutter are RULERS! I have not seen your ruler in real life, but I love the uncomplicated-ness of them! I can't wait to use one!

My favorite notion is the seam ripper with the rubbery end that picks up all the little thread pieces. Saves so much time! I would love to win your rulers.

I have been intrigued with your rulers for some months now. They look like something I would keep close at hand on my cutting board.

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....

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...

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.
