Quilt Blocks for Jeaneane

December 14, 2011 By Anne 13 Comments

When Jeaneane finally moves into her new home she’ll take a box of quilt blocks with her that some of you have sent. Yippee! Just look at these! There’s enough here for quilts, table runners, totes and even a framed picture or two to hang in her new home.

Why yesterday a quilt block arrived all the way from France. It didn’t arrive in time for the photo collage, but it’s in the box, ready to ship to Jeaneane.

Today we put all the names in a bowl, mixed them up and did a drawing. 1 entry for each quilt block.

Ready? We have 2 winners!

Congratulations to Christa and Malinda! Christa and Malinda email me or leave a comment and I’ll fix you up with either the lightpad or the bundle of fabric!

Many of you sent fabric and quilting supplies for Jeaneane earlier in the year. Thank you to each of you too…

…and a group of quilter’s in Davis, California actually got together and sent Jeaneane their own box of treats. The quilt group is called “The Calendar Girls”! Thank you Calendar Girls for your thoughtfulness. You are the best!

Hugs!

Cat naps

If you make a quilt the cat will find it…

I set the redwork quilt on my desk, walked away for a minute and Mooch took possession. She was very upset when I made her get off and she protested loudly. She didn’t care that I had to get it in the mail! I should know by now that cats rule the house, cat naps are very important and…

…if you make a quilt the cat will find it. Every time!

Back soon with blocks for Jeaneane.

How would you like to win this Henrietta Squirrel? You might if you hop on over to Pretty By Hand blog and tell Kristyne which of my patterns is your all time favorite! She’s not only giving away this squirrel, but some of my Petite Patterns too!

I found Kristyne’s blog a few weeks before market and fell in love with it. At market we met for the first time and I liked her instantly. Take a look at our business cards…

Destined to be friends don’t you think?

Now, here’s where I’m going tomorrow!

Holly Hill Quilt Shoppe

There’s a FARM HOUSE inside their shop! How cute is this? The shop is decorated to the max for Christmas and if you’re near Portland (West Linn, Oregon) anytime in the future be sure to make this shop a destination.

Their displays are incredible and their classes are events by themselves!

If I just lived a bit closer I’d be there every week! I’ll take lots of pictures to share with you when I get back.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Pumpkin Pie on a Quilt

October 25, 2011 By Anne 39 Comments

Pumpkin Pie on a quilt? It’s acceptable if it’s baked in a Moda Dottie green pie dish with at least one blackbird in the pie. Oh, one more thing…you have to sing “Sing a Song of Sixpence” while you make this quilt. If you don’t know the song better Google it.

Pumpkin Pie is made from “Basics”!

The quilt is made mostly from Moda Basics so you should easily be able to find the fabric! I’ve put a color fabric guide inside the pattern and also on my website to make your shopping easy.
