Happy Blockheads 4 Wednesday

Block #27
Threaded by Michele White
You can go to her blog to download
the pattern by clicking here


Our Vintage book this month is 
still "Country Paths" and this is
November's Song, one of my 
favorite quilts from the book.


Since I live in the country, I'm sure 
you can figure out that most of the
quilts in this book are among my
favorite all time quilts.
I hope you enjoy making them as much as
I did.

Speaking of "Favorites", this week we have on sale the
BOM pattern for one of my all time favorite quilts, 
Feathered Star.
Mark Dunn wanted to buy one of my quilts to
remember me by and that caused a problem
because I don't sell my quilts.
So I gave it to him.


You've got to admit he should be able to
remember who made this quilt :)
You can go to the store to get your
BOM pattern by clicking here.
But if you go to the trouble of making
it, I would put your name in the center
instead of mine.  If you want to give me 
credit for designing it, put my name on
a label sewn to a corner or the back.

After you get your kit, be sure to come back
so you can go see what the others have done
with Michele's block.

Happy Blockheads 4 Wednesday

Block #26

Postage Stamp by Corey Yoder

 


You can go to her blog to

download the pattern by clicking here.

I hope you all had a good Labor Day

and were able to also join in some commemoration 

of 9-11.  In that vein I chose one

of the "Liberty" wallhangings

"Liberty Pumpkin" for our kit on

sale this week.

You can  go to the store to get your kit

by clicking here


As we enjoy our freedom this fall we 
need to carve our pumpkins while remembering
all the first responders who rushed into the towers
while others rushed out.

I give $11.00 each month to Tunnel to Towers
to help them help us Never Forget those who sacrificed
so much for us.  If you haven't already joined I highly
recommend you go to Tunnel to Towers.org and help.


Our Vintage book this month is

Country Paths  and this is one of my

favorite quilts from that book

Oak Leaves and Turkey Feathers.


This is the stone path that goes up
to the barn and is a shorter walk than
going out to the drive and up on the driveway.


I used it at least twice a day to go to the
loft and office and to feed the barn cat, Muffin,
 and the chickens.

I still go up the walk but from now on, I
come down the driveway and the steps to
the house.


This is what I look like after I fell coming down
the walk.  I was leaning forward and 
couldn't slow down and straighten up.
Luckily I had my phone with me and could call
Pep.  He unhooked his oxygen line and came out
to help because I couldn't get up.
It looks much worse than it feels.
I didn't break anything and lost no teeth which
is amazing.


I was going to say you could use my picture as
part of your Halloween decorations but
decided the pumpkins I'm working on would be better.
This little quilt should be online soon.  The fabric is
from "Ghostly Gatherings by Deb Strain.

After you get your kit, be sure to come back
so you can go see what the others have done
with Corey's block.

Happy Blockheads 4 Wednesday

Block #25 - Heart
by Vanessa Goertzen
You can go to her blog to 
download the pattern by clicking here


                                                            The pattern is by Vanessa 

but I'm pretty sure that the fabric is by me.  

I really like this Iris and Ivy line.  

It should be shipping to your

local shop as we speak.

This is probably the last fabric line I'll design.


 

When Linda Brannock and I started designing

quilts and then fabric, she always said 

there was no use going to Market unless

you had at least 6 new patterns.

And I'm sure it takes at least that many to

support a new fabric line.

Well today is my birthday and I am now 78

and I'm afraid I no longer have the energy to

design 6 new quilts for each fabric line.

Its not fair to Moda to design a line and

not do the work promoting it so I've changed the 

way I work a little.  Deb Strain started designing

for Moda about the same time I did.  I talked with her and

I will use her latest lines to design at least

one or 2 quilts.  I should have a pattern and kit

out of her line "Ghostly Greetings" soon.

It helps her and it gives me something to work with 

without all of the pressure to do 6.

Meantime it's September and the Vintage 

book for this week is Country Paths.

You can go to the store to get it 

by clicking here

Our sale item this week is "Fall Favorites 
Tablestand" and you can get it at the store
by clicking the same link.



After you get your kit, be sure to come back
so you can go see what the others have done
with Vanissa's block.
