Day 7 of Tabletop Turnabouts

The page from Tabletop Turnabouts

for today features my little quilt

Acorn Lane

Right now I think we're all very

appreciative of Spring with it's

warmer weather after the harsh winter.

Normally, however, Fall is my favorite

time of the year.  Squirrels scurry to 

bury acorns to savor during 

the long winter months.

Pumpkins, crisp days and nights and 

beautiful leaves are just a few of

the pleasures to be enjoyed each Fall.  

The winner of the fabric scrap bag and 

magnetic pincushion from Down by the Sea 

is Susie H. who is a Pisces girl with a special 

affection for whales.

Susie, please email your snail mail address to Tammie 

 at janpatekquiltsinc@gmail.com

and she will mail you your fabric and pincushion.  

Now for this week, make a comment and this time 

the random number generator will pick someone to win

 be a mixed scrap bag (all pieces at least 2" wide) of 

Sweet Violet and Lilac Ridge and a 

package of Freezer Paper

Fabric and something to help make your pattern.

Be sure to come back tomorrow to see the next page

Keep quilting ladies.  :)

Ladies from Tennessee & Day 6 from Tabletop Turnabouts

Yesterday we had a visit 

from a very nice group of ladies,

mostly from Tennessee with one or two 

from Georgia and I think there was 1 from Ohio.

I believe their common bond was originally 

doing a Sew Along with my book Homespun Hearth.

They called a couple of months ago to

see if they could come by.

We spent 2 or 3 enjoyable hours 

chatting and sewing and shopping.

Altogether a great group of ladies.

Thanks again for coming.  :)

The page from Tabletop Turnabouts

for today features my little quilt

Down by the Sea.

I just love whales - they are such awesome creatures

and we all need to work together to make sure

they are around for future generations to see.

We have a winner from 2 weeks ago

 of the scrap bag and Clover thimble.  It is Sheila S

who said "Oh my Gosh - Happy little quilts, 

They make me feel happy inside.".

Sheila, please email Tammie your snail 

mail address and she will mail you 

your fabric and thimble.

Day 5 - Tabletop Turnabouts - To Market, To Market

The little chocolate bunny is hitching

a ride on the wagon pulled 

by the baby chick.

on the way to fill the Easter Baskets.

I really hope some larger rabbits 

and chickens come along to help.

These 2 will get tired out

long before they get to Market.

We have a winner of the scrap bag 

and marking pencil.  It is Peggy

who ended her comment with 

"What a fun block".

Peggy, please email Tammie your snail mail

address and she will mail you your fabric and 

marking pencil.  Be sure to tell her if you want

white lead or pencil lead.

Day 4 of Tabletop Turnabouts by Jan Patek & Martingale

Bunny Hop

Front

And back.

We think the bunny is riding his

trusty steed to

check out his garden.

So far the perennials are up and 

he's ready to plant his veggies.  :)

Bunnies have to eat you know and 

people frown when they eat the flowers.

The winner of last week's prize is 

Amy who volunteers in a 6th grade class.

Day #3 of Tabletop Turnabouts

Sweet Lady Liberty

 Front

and back.

As most of you know by now, 

I'm partial to Americana.

- - Love the big stars Martingale used.

I'm also pretty partial to stars.. :)

And we have a winner from last week's post.

It was Susie H. who said

Fresh colors for a fresh start + SPRING.💗

Susie, if you will email your snail mail information 

to Tammie at janpatekquiltsinc@gmail.com

she'll send you your mini charm and needles.

That was so much fun, I think we'll do it 

for every Tabletop Turnabouts post.

Make a comment and this time 

(and maybe from now on) 

the prize will be a scrap bag of 

Sweet Violet or Lilac Ridge

and a marking pencil or needles or a thimble.  

You get the idea - fabric and something to sew it with.

Have a very good Easter with family & friends. 

See you Monday & 

Keep quilting ladies.

Day #2 of Table Turnabouts

Sneak peek of the pages from the Garden House quilt.

Martingale does such an awesome job

with the photography and patterns.

I'd love to have a fence that color :)

The fabric is my "Garden House" line and it

really goes well with their fence, doesn't it.

I knew that, of course, when I designed

the line.  ----- Not :)

After I've posted all ten different little  quilts, 

we'll have a drawing for a free signed book.

Meantime lets have some smaller give-aways.

Make a comment, any old comment and 

I'll have the Random Number Generator 

pick one to send a free Garden House Mini Charm 

and a package of Milliner needles.

Good luck and see you tomorrow 

for another sneak peek at the book.

And

As Always

Keep Quilting!

Tabletop Turnabouts (a new Martingale book) & Lets get ready for Memorial Day

It seems really strange not 

to be posting a Moda Blockhead -

I've been doing that on Wednesday

for the last 2 years. 

Instead, for the next 10 weekdays

I'm going to post a page from my

new book Tabletop Turnabouts,

published in their usual excellent 

manner by Martingale.

The little quilts 12" x 25" are made

to hang over a table stand - or anything 

else you have handy to hang them on.

One side has a 12" block and the other

side has four 6" blocks.

The book is due to be released soon and will 

be available at quilt shops, at shopmartingale.com 

and in our store.

When I've posted the last page, 

we'll have a drawing for a free book.

AND

since it is finally Spring and warm

weather we have Memorial Day and

July 4th to get ready for.

To help out we've put our American Pride quilt kit

- one of my favorites - 

on sale as our Deal of the week - 25% off. 

To go to the store to get your click here.

Have a good week ladies and

as always

Keep Quilting:)
