and let's get sewing:)

This week is hosted by my sweet friend…

who I like to call Miss Pam:)

to get all of this weeks details and go see her cups…

which are made from her sweet fabric..

including her latest release

Pam Kitty Picnic.

YaY!

It's just hot off the printers and sew adorable!

Here's my cups

 (made from my Bake Sale collection)

before they were sewn into the... 

Quilty Fun Sampler 

that we are all making!

I took several photo's 

as I sewed the blocks together...

Because I knew you would want to see a few close ups:)

After the cups we will be taking a break

 for just a few weeks until we get through the holidays…

then we will be back in January with more of the

Quilty Fun Sew Along.

So load up your cup blocks to the

Quilty Fun Sew Along - Week 6 - Chubby Chevrons! ...

I thought I'd show you a picture of the

 Quilty Fun Sampler 

while it was in progress.

I made the first part of it

 while on retreat in September of this year.

Now we are into week 6 already!

It's been so much fun to see everyones blocks so far…

the Quilty Fun flickr group is full of adorable photos!

Hosting this week is my friend 

Erin from Why Not Sew?

Go visit her to get all of the details for this week…

wait till you see her scrappy happy chubby chevrons…

adorable!!!

Here are mine when they were on the design board in September…

These blocks are easy to do and a great way

 to use up 2 1/2" squares from your scrappy stash.

You can see how an X block is formed

sew very easily by using 4 of my chubs:)

Have a quilty kind of day!!

Stuff Your Stocking with Quilty Fun Notions!!!...

Hello cute people!

I have had so many of you email me about

where to buy my favorite notions 

that are featured in my book...

 Quilty Fun

Lessons in Scrappy Patchwork

I asked Kimberly and the girls over at

 Fat Quarter Shop

 if they would make a page 

on their website where 

you can view them all together

for your convenience…

and of course they said YES!!!

(I just love those girls)

So for those of you who have a

 "notion"

 to have even more Quilty Fun with me…

(pun intended:)

Go ahead and send

this link 

to all of your friends and family 

who are wondering what

 you want for Christmas!

I hope you wake up on 

Christmas morning to a

Sock-Full-of-Quilty-Fun!!!

My Home Sweet Home Quilt Block Pattern - In Quiltmakers Magazine 100 Blocks!!! ...

I've been building some

 "Home Sweet Home" blocks

 that will become a new quilt 

for my family room.

You may have already seen each 

of these blocks a few weeks ago

as they were in progress…

if you happen to follow me on 

Instagram:)

So far I have 4 completed and

 5 more cut and ready to go…

just waiting patiently

 for a little free sewing time:)

I designed the block for the latest issue of Quiltmakers 100 Blocks…

 which hit the stores a few weeks ago.

Do you have your copy yet?

My block instructions are on page 66:)

It's the Winter 2013 - Volume 8 Edition...

And my name is on the cover…

YaY!

Here is my block on the mug 

that was sent out to

 all of those 100 designers 

who participated in this issue.

We also got a ginormous badge ...fun!!!

All of the blocks in the magazine have instructions

 and all 100 of them finish at 12" square.

You can even win some of the blocks!

This week there is a giveaway for one person to win all 8 volumes.

That is 800 blocks!!!

It's on the Quiltmakers Magazine Blog

The giveaway ends at midnight this friday…

All you have to do is leave a comment:)

I will of course be showing 

my progress on the quilt…

I hope you sew my 

"Home Sweet Home"

 blocks along with me!
