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
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!
Have a quilty kind of day!

Beautiful...cant wait to get my issue
Dear, This is so out of my comfort zone for the style of this and the colors, and I love that you are giving a give-a-way for your pattern and perhaps win a block or two.
I am to find this pattern, buy it and get on with cutting it out, of course after I purchase delicious FQ to get on with the project. I simply cannot believe what fun this will be.
Whew! What a fun quilt.
.
I love houses and the great bright fabrics you have chosen!
Love house blks, this one is the best. Can't wait to make one.
Congrat and what a honor to be on the cover! I love all things with houses. Would so enjoy making a quilt of these houses.
Congratulations, Lori. What an honour. I'll definitely make your sweet house block. What a homey quilt it will make. If I don't win a copy,I will buy ones for sure
