Hello cute people!!!
Today I want to announce that on Saturday November 9th...
there will be an event to celebrate all things
Quilty Fun!
Hosting this event is
in Logan, Utah.
This is a beautiful quilt shop
owned by my friend Kris and her husband Mike.
owned by my friend Kris and her husband Mike.
If you have been to an event there...
you know that they know how to put on a party!
The day will start out as a trunk show where
I will show all of the projects in the book one by one...
and you will get a chance to see them
up close and personal.
There will be giveaways also...
YaY!!!!
I will of course have my Bee in my Bonnet row along quilt there
and I will be talking about how this quilt came to be
and all about the row along on the blog and finally the book!
I will be doing a book signing while there...
so bring your book or pick one up there:)
Following the signing will be a lovely luncheon
and then you are invited to stay and sew with me!
I will walk you through each step of making my spool blocks...
and the quarter square triangle blocks...
For the sewing machine mat/cover
which is one of the projects in Quilty Fun.
You can use it as a mat...
and also tie it on as a cover:)
It fit's a featherweight and also my Bernina ...
so I'm sure that it fits most machines out there.
It's plenty wide but...
You could add a row on the end if you need it taller.
The spools on the front...
are actually cute little pockets ...
to keep your sewing machine notions close at hand:)
You simply tie it on the machine at the sides for a cover.
You can bet that this handy little mat/cover will be
traveling with me to every quilt retreat from now on...
to use while I'm stitching away:)
As you know...
all of the photography for the book took place in my home...
here are a few shots that you may not have seen before.
I will have each and every project at the trunk show.
So come and join me while I talk about each one of the quilts...
and also the mittens runner...
the cups pillow...
and the fall leaves quilty...
and of course the sewing machine cover:)
And if you are so inclined...
bring along some bits and bobs from your stash
to sew along with me!
I promise it will be fun!
For all of the information
about this event and
also to sign up...
I hope to see you there:)
Have a quilty kind of day...
and sew it like you mean it!

I'd love to come and spend the day with you but it's a little far from Australia!
LOVE the book!!! Mine came on Friday and I can't wait to make the sewing mat...ADORABLE. Looking forward to the sampler blog hop!! The next best thing to flying to Utah :) xoxo
Hold on, hold on!!! I'm on the other line making my airline reservations to fly from Virginia to Utah!!! Once I get there, I may not leave so I'll get just a one-way ticket for now. Oh sigh, I would so love love love to attend this event! And don't forget, your new line comes out soon and I can't wait. Only sad that I can't get the old lines, and since I just discovered you I am dying for some of it all! :)
Hugs ~ Mary
Sounds like so much fun!! I'm with Christine, except not quite as far as she is :-)
Wish I could come, but I'll be there in thought!
Thanks for some more pics - they keep inspiring me.
I have to mention that along with the beautiful pictures, glossy, spiral bound pages in your new book - what I love best is that each pattern is complete and even when you need to explain something double, you never say "turn to page so and so where I've already covered this".
Everyone involved did an award winning job!! Thanks so much!
WHY, WHY DO I HAVE TO BE OVERSEAS RIGHT NOW!!! AHHH!!!
WHY, WHY DO I HAVE TO BE OVERSEAS RIGHT NOW!!! AHHH!!
Ohhhhh my goodness, I would LOVE to join you!! I live in Washington State and take care of Mom and a disabled husband, BUT you can bet I'll be following along on your blog!! LOVE your ice cream colors in your home!!
Oh, if only Utah was closer to Texas---your event sounds like so much fun! Enjoy! I love, love, love your book!!!!!
I wish I was closer to you! I love the sewing machine cover and workspace it gives you - I am going to have to order this book - love that it is spiral bound - I have wonder why more quilt books are not!
I have your book on my birthday wish list which is coming up in the month of November. I adore your stuff, your colors, your designs, everything. I can't attend your event, but will anxiously await the "after" photos and comments. Thanks so much for sharing your quiltiness with the rest of us!
Want to come to Canada by chance? I think we could have a whole week of great fun with all the local guilds around me!
Sounds like fun but alas I too am not close by, though closer than Australia. Love all the pictures and the quilts. Can't wait to get your book for my birthday next month. Great job! K-
Fabulous quilts and fabrics, great picture post.
Ich habe mir das Buch auch bestellt und bekomme es sicher in dern nächsten Tagen. Ich freue mich soooo sehr darauf. Danke für die schönen Bilder und liebe Grüße aus Deutschland

Oh no - I live in Australia and am coming to Utah, but in December!! Love your book!
You are incredible! WOW what beauty! Minnesota is too far away for me to come for the party, but I do have a sofa in my sewing room if you want to make a trip here! Love your work and need to order the book....love the spiral binding!
I just received my book a few days ago! I cannot wait to start on page 1 and make each project! I know my mom will love every one so I might be giving them to her as gifts for upcoming birthdays and holidays. Yay!
I just got my Quilty book and it is soooo yummy! But I live in Indiana and we're going up to Boyne for a visit to my husband's uncle. Wish I could be at your trunk show and class. I'd sign up for the whole kit and kaboodle if I were in Utah!

I ordered your book, so I will be there in spirit. I live in NY and my husband doesn't understand why I need to go to Utah for the day.

Would love to be there!! It's a little far from Missouri. I know
that it will be a wonderful time!!!
I love your book. I just got mine and have been drooling over it. Trying to get caught up on my silo barns right now then I just have to make that sewing machine cover. So much to do and so little time. Thanks for sharing all your creations.
Sounds fun.I`d love to be there but I`m far away,Spain.
What gorgeous pictures!!! It all looks sooo lovely!! I wish I lived closer to come! Wonderful pieces Lori!! Have a great day!! :) xx Holly
Would love to come, too, but too far from Oregon. Thanks for sharing your wonderful photos...your pictures of your home always inspire me!
All these pics make me feel happy! Thanks for posting! ♥
Like everyone else, I wish I lived in Utah. I live in PA, so I'll just have to think about the wonderful day you'll be having.
Oh and I thought I felt lonely being here in Georgia! I would so love to be there in Utah. I could also visit our son and his precious family. Please post lots of pics Lori.
Have fun.

Wish I could make it but I live in TN. Darnitt!
Got the book though ;0) its sew happy! Love it, Amie
I'll be thinking about all the fun everyone's having while I'm sitting here in Missouri. Love all the pictures, they show the quilts off so well. I've got your book on my Christmas list and can't wait until December 25th to get started on one of the quilts.
Oh Lori, I wish I lived closer so I could come to the event, it sounds like sooooo much fun!
Question, where did you get the pink Singer? I'm teaching my girly-girl granddaughter to sew and she would LOVE a pink machine!
I just got the book yesterday and am really enjoying it. Thank you!!! Barb
I'm coming out from Calif for a wedding on the 12th and we will arrive on Friday the 8th, so I have the 9th free!!!! I just signed up and am so excited!! I've wanted to meet you in person for a long time and to take a class! Can't wait to meet you! I'll be there with bells on, and my sewing machine in tow!!! Have a great week!! Hugs, H in Healdsburg
Looks like a great day...too bad I'm stuck down here in AZ. I would love to attend! I am enjoying your book so much and all your photos just brighten my day! Hopefully, one day I will be able to meet you and take one of your classes.
I just love all your quilts, your house, sewing room and all your great fabric. Do you want me to keep going? Wish you would come to Indiana. I will be with you in spirit in Utah, only wish I could be there in person. Have a great time.
Oh, my!
Mary at Redo 101 sent me a link to your blog telling me that she thought I would like it since I love color.
Oh yes, I love everything. The big hexagon quilt with the square centers is wonderful. And I love the green table at the foot of your stairs.
I will be back again and again. If I didn't live in southern California and was in Utah, I would definitely be joining you.
OHHH If Only it was on Thursday or Friday. I'll be around the area then. Saturday I need to be with the kids we are going to visit. This is our long needed Vacation so I'll have to pass - Darn it!
I'm sure it will be a fun-filled day. So I hope you all have fun! It's not so easy for me to stop by, unfortunately, since I don't live in Utah.
