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.

after Christmas.

a Very Merry Christmas.

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.

Star Power

by Stacy lest Hsu

You can go to her blog

to download the pattern

by clicking here.

I hope everyone got enough to eat over Thanksgiving

I know we did.

Our son Max (Cullen and Quinn's Dad) got Pep's cooking gene

(I've always said that as a cook, I'm a good quilter)

and we went to his house for dinner.

After stuffing ourselves there we moved

on to Brian's house for pie - pumpkin, blueberry, pecan & chocolate.

Then we rolled out to the car and Pep drove us home.

And it's a good thing he drove because I was comatose.

I don't think I'll eat again until Christmas.

And speaking of Christmas

this is

Star Spangled Christmas

and it's on special this week.

You can order it by clicking here.

Now lets go see what the other designers

have done with Stacy's Block.

Rufus heard it was the month - or day - or something

of the cat and decided that I might need some help

with the computer.

I started typing again when he got up off the keyboard :)

October 31st is Halloween.

The day of the Jack-O-Lantern

will soon be over.

So we put our little quilt
"Jack Stack" on sale so you
can get ready for next year :):):).

Also because we went to lunch at Jack Stack
(an awesome barbecue restaurant
in Kansas City). If you're ever in KC be sure to visit.

Moda Blockheads #28

Lincoln's Platform

Barb & Mary of

Me and My Sister

You can go to their blog to

download the pattern

by clicking here.

Now with Market looming and quilts still needing to be hand quilted

(my Welcome quilt) I need to stop and say a word about

Over the Meadow.

I was asked by The Quilting Company to film this BOM.

They were to release it and do whatever was necessary to get

the patterns and fabric to the customers.

We have recently found out that apparently Keepsake Quilting

that was doing the kits was sold to another company

and that company is not sending people the last half of the kits

or patterns.

I don't have the fabric so I can't help with that but I can send

you the last half of the patterns.

I'm not going to Market this fall for the first time in years

due to health issues but the quilts are going.

As soon as I get things for Market tied up I will put together

the last half of the patterns into a file and put it in the store for 1/2 price.

You'll be able to buy it on the website or by calling Tammy at 816-632-7632

or emailing her at janpatekquiltsinc@gmail.com.

I'm sorry for your inconvenience and stress but we'll get you your quilt and assure

you that we had nothing to do with this. Stuff happens. :(

Now lets go see what the other designers

have done with the Lincoln's Platform block -
