Book Signing in Rockford

I will be doing a book signing in Rockford at Acorn Quilts on April 30th from 10:00-12:00.  If you are in the area, make sure that you stop by and say hi and get your book.  If you mention that you read this on my blog, you will get a special treat. 



Acorn Quilts is located at 6409 East Riverside Blvd in Rockford, IL.  Lesley Gebbie is the owner and the shop has been open for a year and a half.  It's a wonderful, inspring place to go so make sure that if you can't make it Saturday, you stop by another time. 

Don't forget that it's Thelma from Cupcake 'n Daisies day to show her big reveal.  You will be so excited and impressed with her quilt!  She has taken it a step further and I love it!  I'm jealous, I wished that I would have thought of it!

Tomorrow is Lisa from Stashmaster's day to blog about her reveal so stop by.

I loved Thelma's borders, too! I wish I could make the signing but I'll settle instead for having an Open-Gate-inspired sew-in and make some flying geese :)

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!
