Exciting news! I have a block included
in Quiltmakers 100 Blooks, volume 10. Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks should now be available at
newsstands. Welcome to my portion of the 100 Blocks blog tour.
My block, named Best
Friends Forever is number
949. The block is paper pieced and includes half square triangles. BFF is made from the blue color combination of my fabric line, Grace, as well as RJR Fabric’s Supreme Solids.
Here is Best Friends Forever in pink and aqua.
And here is an example of one way the
blocks might be arranged to make a really cute quilt.
Quiltmaker is currently hosting this tour on their Quilty Pleasures Blog. The tour will continue through November 21st. Throughout the week they are featuring
designers and having daily giveaways including two fat quarter bundles of Grace.
Now for the really exciting news, Quiltmaker
has generously donated one copy of Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks for me to
give away and I have two additional copies to add to that. Just leave a comment here, on my blog and at the end of the
week, I will randomly select three winners.
Good luck, and enjoy the rest of the
tour.

ReplyDeleteNice to meet you. I am deeply saddened by Ukraine. I'm trying to make a kilt using some of your girl's patterns. There is an exhibition in the quilt group. We want to sell the kilt at the exhibition and donate the proceeds to Ukraine. May we sell quilts with girls' patterns? We will make a full donation to Ukraine.
