Happy Girl Gang Wednesday

This is going to be a short blog post
because I got trapped by my computer..


So we'll start with the kit and pattern that's on
sale this week.  This is "Flower Power"
and is mostly made with my favorite purples.
It's 46" x 46" and both the kit and the pattern 
are 20% off this week

And this is a drawing of the little 
quilt that trapped me.  
I got the idea for the bunnies and flower
table runner for my youngest granddaughter Summer
and sat down to frame out the quilt.


It will be called "Summer's Bunnies" because in this family 
anything that has anything to do with bunnies now gravitates
to Summer.  Luckily her Aunt Kelly has already
designed and gotten "Kelly's Bunnies". 
I may have to make Summer's quilt a little bigger so she can
cover her bunnies with it.  Right now its a 
work in progress but I'll get it finished by next week


For now to get a pattern for Kelly's Bunnies
or to get the pattern or kit for 
"Flower Power" you can go to the store by 
clicking here.

Meantime ladies, have a wonderful week with
the people and quilts that you love.
Jan

Happy Girl Gang Wednesday

                       Since Moda isn't doing a Blockheads Quilt

                   at this time, I thought I would replace the Blockheads 

                   blogpost with a Girl Gang post instead.  And since it's

             still February but not quite Valentines Day there's will a little

                   time left to make a Valentine quilt.  This is 4 Hearts

                   a Flower and a Star and both the pattern and the kit

                                     are 23% off this week.


You can go to our store to get either by clicking here.

I'm sure you all remember my good friends Mary and
Connie from Country Threads.  Well, I got an email from
Mary the other day with her latest post which 
included  an awesome idea for an easy
recipe for making hamburgers in your crockpot so you can 
spend your time quilting instead of cooking.

"In the summer we grill hamburgers outside but this winter I have developed an easy way to make burgers in the crock pot. I cut up enough onions to cover the bottom of the crock pot and then I pat the 1 or 2 pounds of hamburger on top and let it cook. When done cut the hamburger into bun size pieces - it’s the juiciest burger you’ve ever eaten and my stove is still clean and I didn’t have to stand there and fry them. Win win!"

For some great tips on variations on this technique,

you can go to her blog by clicking here .  And you 

can catch up on what's going on at their

                             farm and with their quilting.

Back in Missouri we are eagerly waiting on March.   

In fact we're so ready for a new month and warmer weather

that we are having a 2nd special this month.

This is 101 Lilac Place. Both the pattern

and the kit are also on sale for 23% off.


A good friend from Germany named Susanne Steil
started a website called Jan Patek Galore and it's a
great place to go look for older patterns and books.
You can go check it out by on Facebook

And I'm going to borrow another idea from Susanne 
and Mary.  I want to see quilts that you all are
making.  They can be from my patterns or not - just
what you are working on - mostly primitive feeling, I'm sure.

Tammie is setting up a separate email address so they don't 
get lost in all of the political emails I get.
I'll try to have it for you next week.
Right now, I'm going to take a bath and get back to stitching
after lunch.

Have a great week ladies with the people and quilts that you love.

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.
