Another Year is almost here

Another year is almost here and that means another Block of the Month!  I have been working furiously on finishing my quilt top (sorry, won't be quilted) and writing the instructions.  I had a few questions so I thought I would answer them in a post:

Q.  Will I have the supply list before the end of the year?
A.  No I won't, but I will post it with the first block.  I thought that I might be able to but want to make sure that everything is done and have the correct amounts for you. 

Q.  How much does it cost?
A.  It's FREE!  Just head to my website each month and you can download the instructions.  On the first of each month, I will write a blog post on how to piece the block.

Q.  What size is the quilt and the blocks?
A.  I decided to go with 6" blocks and the quilt size is approximately 59" x 59".  I have all my blocks done right now and just have to put it together and put the borders on.  Once I get that done, I will be able to give you a more definite size.

Q.  Will you be using any tools?
A.  Yes, I am using the Fit to be Quarter 6.5 & Companion and the Mini Fit to be Geese rulers.  I tried to use the same rulers as the last BOM but because the blocks are smaller, I couldn't use the Fit to be Geese ruler.  Don't you worry though, if you order the Mini Fit to be Geese and mention that you are doing the BOM, I will send you a special treat!

Q.  Who is participating with you?
A.  We have some familiar faces and two new ladies.  I will introduce them all on the 1st.

If you have any more questions, please let me know and I will do my best to answer them.

Don't forget that my Craftsy class is live and if you order off my blog or website, you get 25% off your class!  It's a great Christmas gift for your favorite quilter! 


I have been working on the pdf patterns.  I always think that it will take me just a few minutes to do something on the computer and 3 hours later, I'm still not done!  It's crazy how it takes so long to do things and I wonder why the BOM isn't done yet!  :)

I did add a few pdfs and here are the ones I added:

Tuscany

Confetti

Indian Summer - redone using NorthGate Manor
I will also have the paper patterns on my website soon too.

Hope everyone has a great week and Happy Holidays!

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....

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....
