These rulers look awesome (and very useful)! I will keep my fingers crossed. I make small quilts, so they would be so handy to have.

I'm probably too late for the contest, but the rulers do look helpful. I am looking for your quilt pattern, "Amaryllis" ...is it still available ? I really like your patterns.

Hi, happy new year to you and your family.
I really enjoy watching your tutorials and following along.
This may sound ridiculous but I am visually impaired (actually legally blind) and I have MS but I still quilt.
I love colour and movement.
I have been managing quite nicely but lately I am having trouble squaring up my blocks.
I work with pre cuts because then I have half a chance at accuracy lol.
I need a squaring guide for 10 inch blocks which I have made HST and charms.
Plus flying geese I used to only use strips but it isn't always possible to get what is needed.
Ok I used I a lot and sound very selfish but I won't stop doing what I love.
I have handed in my driving licence though lol! I can't hand over my Janome licence too!
I hope to hear from you soon. Kindet regards Lorraine

Quiltmakers 100 Blocks Blog Tour Starts Today!

Image
It just happens to start today and be my day to blog.  My block is called Black Pearl. My friend Sue asked me if I named it after the Black Pearl from Pirates of the Caribbean.  Although I like the movie, I did not name my block after the Black Pearl on the movie.  I actually thought of Black Pearls when I looked at my block.  What do you think?  Movie or jewelry? Here is my question for you to be entered in the drawing for a Quiltmakers 100 Block Volume 3 magazine.  What do you prefer - to spend your money on movies or jewelry?  I know it's a tough one!  Also, for the lucky winner who gets chosen for my blog, not only will you get a copy of the magazine, I will send you my new ruler, Fit to be Quarter.  Yes, it's close to being finished and I will have it on my website later this week!!  Make sure that you stop by Quiltmakers blog to enter your name in for the prizes that they are giving away.  I also decided to give you a f...

Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Blog Tour

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....
