We Be Stringing Too

Moda's having a String Along and
I'm kind of excited about it.


These are my first few blocks.  
They're made out of my Sweet Violet Fabric line
that will be in shops in February.
It would work well with Lilac Ridge also.

I've never made a string quilt since I usually make appliqué quilts
so this is waaaaay new to me. 

If you want to join the fun and need more information 
you can get it by clicking here.

I'll keep you posted on my progress as I go along.
Come join us.

Merry Day after Christmas

As I'm sure all of you know 
the week before Christmas is
rather hectic.


Sooooo...
instead of posting Sherri's
beautiful but complex block for
Blockheads 2
I decided to have a drawing for 
the Blockheads 1 book
and post 2 blocks for Blockheads 2 
next week.

To enter the drawing for the Blockheads
book simply make an 
"after Christmas" comment
and next week we'll announce who the
Random Number Generator picked.

Good luck and have a great week.  

Meantime, lets go see how many of
the other designers were more organized
than I am (bet they don't live on a farm)
and what they did with Sherri's block.


Lynne of Kansas Troubles
Barb & Mary of Me and My Sister
Brigitte Heitland of Zen Chic
Vanessa of Lella Boutique
Betsy Chutchian
Stacy lest Hsu
Laurie Simpson of Minick & Simpson
Sherri McConnell of A Quilting Life
Lisa Bongean of Primitive Gatherings
Corey Yoder of Coriander Quilts
Carrie Nelson of Moda's Cutting Table


Jo Morton of Jo's Quilts probably won't be posting
in Blockheads much except when it's her block
 but you might just want
to drop in and see what she's doing.

Moda Blockheads 2 - Block #34

Block #34 is
Basket and Vine by Jan Patek
To download the pattern 
click here.


Usually I make a 2nd block and take pictures 
as I go along to do a tutorial.  
This week however, we have had a blizzard 
which has taken up most of my time.  
And ladies the month of Christmas is upon us.
So instead I'm going to refer you to a tutorial I
did on You Tube on Baskets.
The basket itself is a different shape but the principal
is the same.  And dealing with the basket handle,
stems and leaves is exactly the same.. 
To watch it go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RC9gfRDNXKE.
I believe we have already covered circles (berries) and stars
in other blocks.

This is Midnight Serenade - a TableStand (Or Table Top) Quilt.
Each little quilt is really 2 quilts so if it's 
sitting on your table it can be seen from both sides.

This is the front


And this is the back.
Or viva versa.


It's being featured in my book by Martingale 
that's coming out soon.


To celebrate the book - I'm having a drawing for a kit.
Make a comment, any old comment
and I will have the random number generator
pick one to be announced next
Blockheads Wednesday.

Now lets go see what the other designers 
have done with my Basket Block.
