Kona AND Aurifil Giveaway!!

It Is MY Month... YAY!! Come and Get Your FREE Aurifil Block of the Month!!

Hello Everyone,

I am so excited it is MY month for the Aurifil Block of the Month!!

I created a special block from Art Gallery's fabric line Rock and Romance using Aurifil Thread, just for you!!

But you also have the opportunity to get to know me a little better...

Nope this isn't the block, it is actually the very first quilt I made.  Yup that is right... take a look at those calico fabrics.  Whew, so glad that we are past those.  Although, they really did serve a purpose.  I no longer own this quilt.  I gave it to my college roommate after I made it.

How many of you still own your first quilt?

I bet you are wondering what this has to do with the Block of The Month?

Well, Pat Sloan interviewed me with some fun questions and I answered them all!  There are some great photos too.  You just have to pop on over to the Aurifil blog to grab the PDF for the Block of the Month and you can read the interview too.

You can also read about how Pat and I first met... face to face... funny!  

But the best part is grabbing the Block!  I named it Rock Around the Clock.  

I hope you like it...  You must watch the video too!  Classic!

Just click here to read the interview and grab the PDF.

Until Next Time...

Hello Everyone,

As you know from my post here, I was at the Kutztown Folk Festival last weekend. In addition to the quilts that I shared, I wanted to share some of my other favorite things from the festival.

Hex signs are such a tradition in PA Dutch country. I have always loved them since I was little. They remind me so much of quilt blocks.

They come in all different sizes and you can hang them just about any where.

There were several wood turning craftsmen there and one had this wonderful little display of colorful wooden tops. My daughter and I couldn't resist spinning several of them.

I don't know what it is, but I always love seeing the baby animals. They have bunnies, lots of them... you know how much they multiply!

Baby ducklings.

Piglets. Happy as two pigs in a poke.

Don't you just love his haircut?

But I must say that one of my favorites and most inspirational is this beautiful fellow. Just look at the color in his feathers.

Gorgeous color and pattern.

This is just my most favorite photo. Can you see a quilt here?

Sorry for this photo, but it just made me giggle. A very pregnant female. She just has to be uncomfortable and ready to birth at any moment.

Last but not least, the hubs spending lots of time at the "Brain Teaser" table. This craftsman had tons of wooden puzzle that were virtually impossible to solve. We stood there for about 40 minutes or so trying everyone.

Of course, if you made a purchase you received the solution. So we purchased three. We didn't look at the solutions as we wanted to mentally torture ourselves for just a little while longer. ;)

Before you leave, just wanted to let you know that ALL Westminster Fabrics and Batiks are marked down to $7.75 per yard through tomorrow in the shop! Don't delay, start shopping now by clicking here.

Also, don't forget to enter the giveaway here for Kona Cotton Solids and Aurifil Thread!
