CONGRATULATIONS SHELIA! You have won the bundle of fat quarters for leaving a comment on my blog. I've been out of town attending a Bernina event and had to wait until I got home to post. Imagine my surprize when I saw your post of your finished quilt. Now you are going to have a whole new project to start on. - The random number generator selected #9.
- Call for Western-boot themed quilt blocks: In conjunction with our O...ff the Wall: Maverick Quilts exhibition (January 18 - March 31), The National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame is taking block submissions to create community quilts. Deadline is March 1, 2013. For more information please visit our website www.cowgirl.net Afficher la suite
Francesca from Padova, Italy sent me this photo to post. She has finished 81 of her nine patch blocks! She mentioned that she only used one batik. Aren't they beautiful? I hope the photo shows up well, technology is being a little testy today.
I have to set my 9 patch project aside and get to work on a new batik quilt for Timeless Treasures. I've decided that true happiness is a brand new rotary blade! Don't forget to leave a comment on the blog and post your photos as you finish your projects!
Look what Kathy Smith did with her 9 Patch blocks! Thirties fabrics seem to have been popular with the group. Post your own photos to share with the group, or email them to me and I will post them for you. Send your photos to karen@thequiltcompany.com
Hi Everyone! I've been "on the road" for the last few days dropping our daughter off at college in Florida, returning to Pennsylvania and then off to a trade show in Ohio. It was fun to come home to your blog comments - I'm not exactly sure what it means, but I guess I am "that" Karen. You still have a few more days to post a comment and be in the running to win a beautiful bundle of batik fat quarters!
Did everyone find the setting options on my blog? Here is the link again - just in case - Don't forget to leave a comment on the Aug. 17th entry to be entered into the drawing for a bundle of batik fat quarters!
Today is officially day 75 of our 9 Patch Project. Technically that means you should have 75 blocks. Don't worry if you have fallen behind, look at it this way, even if you have just a few, it is a few more than you started with! I started this project with a goal of 80 blocks for the proposed layout. That means you have 5 more days to catch up! Starting tomorrow (August 15) I will post one setting option each day on my blog. You can find the info at www.karensayssew.blogspot.com - but not until the 15th!
Whoo Hoo! After a holiday weekend, wedding out of town, busy work week and lots of other sewing for my job - I am all caught up once again. 42 nine patches and I love each one of them.... the bad news is, as of tomorrow I will be behind again......
