Happy Birthday! Nice shops in your area, especially the antique shop.

Raedene, if you'll send your snail mail address (phone # too please) to jpqinvoices@yahoo.com.  You should hear back from Tori Monday so if you don't please call us at 816-632-7632 between 10:00 & 2:00 CST.  And do remember off it rings and rings, we're here, just on the phone.

I loved reading all of your comments and thank you all for visiting and saying such nice things.  I wish you all could have won.

 

For those of you that didn't, I'll leave The Witch Is In and Pumpkins & Geese kits on sale all week.  The witch one is particularly appropriate in times like these.

Along with the kits we'll offer a Fat 1/4 Pack of the beloved homespuns on sale too.

And offer free shipping all week on orders over $25.00 if you type in the promo code "CONSOLATION".  

:)

There - that should help a little.

Thanks again to all of you for your thoughtful comments.

Day 10 - All Good Things

For those of you who don't go to Quilt Market, Carrie always says at the end of each Market "All good things must come to an end and so it is with Fall (or spring) Quilt Market."  So I couldn't resist using it on our Blog Hop.  

It really has been fun seeing the great variety of places where the designers come from and live.  I especially like the guy in the thong from Austin.  We don't see much of that in rural America.  :)

I only made 7 quilts out of Fellowship and I've showed you all of the patterns for them.  If you missed a day or want to see them again you can go here to see them all.

So since I don't have a new pattern to showcase today, I decided to put 2 kits on sale.  The first is Pumpkins & Geese.  It rained here all day yesterday and a cold front moved in.  The weather is decidedly and deliciously Pumpkins and Geese weather.  

We finished filming the Needleturn Applique tutorial at Missouri Star yesterday.  I think it's really going to be neat.  Can't wait to see what Jake (Jenni's son Jake not my grandson Jake) does with the editing.  We had to film the 3rd session twice because we didn't have my microphone turned on  ---- again.  (That happened back in May too!)  So I just got home and turned around to go back for our Girl Gang meeting.

I am one tired puppy today.

This is the 2nd kit we have on sale today.  I have always said that this is not a Halloween quilt - it's a "statement" quilt.

Don't forget to go comment on my post if you want a chance on the goodies.  The winner will be annnounced tomorrow so it's now or never.

And with no further comment lets go see what we saved till the end - the best I'm sure!

Day 9 - Friday the 13th comes on Thursday this month

And considering the designers we're going to visit, it's a lucky 13th.  

The pattern for the Fellowship quilt I'm showcasing is Linda's Baskets by Brannock and Patek.  Linda handed me these basket blocks one day when I was at her house and said "here, do something with these."  So I shrunk a few, made some with flowers and some without, added a bunch of borders and went back to her house to do the color as only Linda can do it.  I like the quietness of this quilt.

The quilt kit that's on sale today is Autumn Kisses and Hugs.  

Enjoy!

I'm off to film.

But first let's visit

Day 8 - And I'm not sure what to say ....

I'm sure that by now all of you have heard about the sad happenings in Libya and Egypt yesterday.  Pep said that I should say the the more really crazy people there are in the world - the more we need our quilting.  I know it definitely gets me through the hard spots.

And while I am not a Muslim, I do know from the reading I've done that Mohammed would no more want things like that done than Jesus would have wanted the Inquisition or Witch burnings.

This is "Little Cabin in the Big Woods", my latest Fellowship pattern that I'm showcasing.  Right now I feel like staying in my house and cooking and quilting.  So that's what I'll probably do today.  That and get things ready for filming the last 2 sessions of the Needleturn Applique Tutorial with Jenny at Mo. Star.  We're filming again tomorrow.  I can't believe it.

For my quilt kit specials today, I decided to offer a couple of my more patriotic kits.

Jake's Eagles and Four Flags!

And dedicate them both to all the valiant men and women - in the military and out of it - who give their lives in service of their country.  Our prayers go out to the families.

That said, let's go see what our 3 Moda designers have in store for us.

KANSAS TROUBLES

LAUNDRY BASKET QUILTS

Day 7 - Lucky 7

And I hope it's a lucky day for all of you.  The weather here is stupendous - cool, crisp air but sunny and with just an edge of warmth to come this afternoon.

My "Snow Guys" would melt though.  Ah well, I'm sure they'll have their day, come December & January in Missouri.  For right now they'll have to settle for being my showcase Fellowship pattern.

My quilt kit on special today is "Happy Hollow".  Come Fall it is one of the two quilts I usually choose to hang in the foyer. (The other one is Country Paths but I'm out of kits for it.)  And I only have 2 kits left of Happy Hollow so first come, first served.

After you check things out here don't forget to hop over to 

LUCIE SUMMERS
and
COTTON WAY   

and see what goodies they have in store for you.

Day 6 - and it doesn't even feel like Monday

But it is Monday.  It's easy to lose track of what day it is when you're hopping.

The Fellowship pattern I'm showcasing today is Harvest Home, another quilt full of my favorite things.

I love all of the seasons but I think Fall is my favorite.  We're getting cool air moving in.  Yesterday was beautiful and today promises to be the same.  My Dahlia is finally blooming and we're getting ready for Pumpkin Days.  After the heat of the summer, it feels like we can finally relax.

The quilt kit on special today is "Sunflowers and Scarecrows".  That must be a purple finch sitting on the pumpkin.  :)  Well I like purple.

I'm leaving in a minute to run over to Missouri Star.  They're closed on Monday but Jenny and I are  filming the 1st two sections of the You Tube "Needleturn Applique Tutorial".  The one we were going to film last May  :).  Then we're supposed to film the last two sections in two weeks.  We shall see what we shall see.

But first I'm going to hop over to the blogs of

PRIMITIVE GATHERINGS
LILY ASHBURY
and
FRENCH GENERAL

and see what they have in store for everyone.

Isn't it fun finding out where and how all the different designers live.

Day 5 - Just all over the country

Welcome to Day 5 of the Blog Hop.  

We had a really fun day yesterday hitting the garage sales - got Cullen and Quinn some neat after school clothes.  I'm off to Kansas City this morning to go to church and take Cullen and Quinn home.  And Strawberry the cat.  Can't forget her.  She always comes with Cullen.

 

Today the Fellowship pattern I'm showing you is "Santa Claus Lane".  I originally designed this at the request of Carol Veillon to put in the premier issue of "Simply Vintage", her primitive magazine.  But it's only in French so I made the little quilt again out of Fellowship.  It's fun to see your quilt in a magazine where you can only read the name of your quilt and your own name but I thought you all would like the directions in English.

And I decided to put "Garden Kisses & Hugs" kit on special today.  This has been a horrible gardening summer unless you wanted to use all the water for the surrounding area keeping your garden alive.  I didn't.  My dahlia got it's first bloom this week.  So I decided to bring my garden inside in a quilt.

Now hop on over to Iowa, New Jersey and California to see
