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

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.  Here are some ideas: Simple on point with s

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 copy of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Volume 8!
