Happy Blockheads Wednesday AND

We're getting ready to start a new MYSTERY QUILT

AND

AS USUAL

I can't think of a name for it.

Soooooo

as usual, If you can think of one,

we'll give you all of the blocks free.

Simply email your name to Tammie at

janpatekquiltsinc@gmail.com

and next week we'll either just pick one or 

have random number generator pick one.

I think we still have a block or two to mail

out from last years quilt so you've got a day or 

two to think of something.

Meanwhile, I'm working on quilts for my 

new fabric line "Iris and Ivy" and we're getting

the store set up.

And

getting ready for Halloween.

Our kit on sale this week is the

Wendy the Witch Tablestand Quilt at 20% off.

If you're not a member of our Tablestand Club

you might want to join and get 20%off all

the Tablestand quilts as well as 20% 

off of the stands and headers.

Have a great week ladies.  

I might tell you there is a rumor

that there might be a 

Blockheads 4 in the near future.

Lets hope so.  :)

 

Happy Anniversary to Us

52 years ago on October 18th

Pep and I got married at

Calvary Lutheran Church in

Kansas City, Missouri.

I'm ever so glad I married him and

I'm pretty sure he's glad he married me.

This year we are working 

on the next 50 years,

To celebrate we're offering my BOM

pattern "Jan & Pep's Marvelous Adventure"

for 30% off.  You can go to the store to

get your by clicking here.

  I think I should tell you that our

granddaughter Zoie is doing our emails now.

You would probably already know that if

you know Zoie at all.

Zoie is a guinea pig person. 

We bought her her first guinea pig

one time when she was staying here for a few

weeks.  After a little while I said, "Zoie, you 

need to stop feeding her so much - she's getting fat."

She wasn't fat - she was pregnant.  We had

bought her a pregnant guinea pig.

So my emails will have pictures of quilts

and a "guinea pig of the week" picture.

We're also busy setting up a small brick and

mortar store in the barn.  Between that and my 

latest fabric line "Iris and Ivy" things have

been rather busy around here.  We'll keep

you posted on the next Mystery Quilt and

all of our goings on.

See you next week and be sure to

keep quilting.

Happy Blockheads Wednesday - again :)

Starting the day with appliqué -

well, really embroidery.

This is the Heart & Hand block

from this year's Mystery Quilt and it will

need the words embroidered on

"Hands to Work'

Hearts to God"

I'll do that while I'm drinking my coffee

and watching the news on Fox.

Last night I went to the chicken house to check 

on my chickens and gather eggs.  

Luckily my grandsons are coming up this

weekend because I've been getting around 14 eggs

every night.  Cullen and Quinn just love

scrambled eggs and toast for either breakfast or lunch.

I'm not sure what breed the white rooster is - 

he came when some people moved out and left their 

chickens and the shelter called me to see if I'd

take them.  I just love his comb -it's awesome.

My Lavender Orpington rooster had a

pretty neat comb too and my

 Silver laced orpington lays lots of eggs.

Tammy and her fiancé have a new puppy.

Her name is Nova (I hope) and she comes

to work with Tammy every day.

She and Elizabeth are great friends.

Dobby, on the other hand, isn't quite 

sure what to do with a bouncy puppy.

Since Halloween is coming, the

Kit Nip box came with a velvet cape

along with the catnip toys.

Sam I Am wasn't sure about it

but Chantilly thought it was very nice.

Her name is Chantilly because she

has such a pretty face.

Our Vintage book this month is Country Paths 

and will be on sale for 1/2 price all month.

Tammy had to leave early to go to the Post

Office so  it may not be in the store yet

and we didn't have time to pick

the kit that's on sale. The book will be in the store 

tomorrow but you can email her at 

janpatekquiltsinc@gmail.com 

if you just have to order it today.

Be sure to come back tomorrow to

see what kit's on sale.

Meanwhile,  keep stitching ladies.
