Quiltmakers 100 Blocks, Vol. 5

Volume 5 of Quiltmakers 100 Blocks may already be on the newsstands in your area!  And the blog tour begins on Monday - don't miss out on the chances to win free magazines & other prizes.  Go to www.quiltmaker.com/blogs/quiltypleasures to follow the fun! 

My block is Iowa Lily on page 36; I'll be blogging on

Tuesday, May 1.  Happy May Basket Day!

It's such fun to go to fabric groupings for a block such as Iowa Lily.  It makes it so easy; you can choose different ones

from the grouping for parts of the block, then a different one for flowers, stems, leaves, etc.  I especially love to put

 many, many fabrics into one block - makes it fun for me! 

 This time I used a fabric grouping that was a stretch for me - it's brighter & cheerier, although still in the Civil War era.

Meet you on Tuesday @ http://evonne-clotheslinequilts.blogspot.com  

  

Quiltmakers 100 Blocks, Vol. 5 coming soon!

Excitement!  They liked my new block - Iowa Lily!  If you have been following the Quiltmakers Magazine 100 Blocks for the last few years, you certainly have a treasury of new blocks by now.   It's always so fun to see how many designers there actually are out there - it's lots!

And, of course, there is a blog tour every time a new magazine comes out & this time, I'm ready.  Last time I did not have a blog & I really felt that I missed out.  So my day to blog is Tuesday, May 1!  You'll find all the information you need for the tour at www.quiltmaker.com/blogs/quiltypleasures . 

We'll be giving lots of prizes, copies of the magazine, & fun just around the corner.  So, get ready!! 

The Kansas City March is coming soon!

THE LEGACY SAMPLER

Any quilt shop owner who attends quilt market this spring and completes the Kansas City March  booth hop will receive the FREE Block of the Month patterns  for this quilt, The Legacy Sampler.  So bring this opportunity to your local shop owner's attention.  There is no purchase required to participate, just complete the passport that can be found in the buyers guide & the FabShop News magazine  by visiting the designers' and sponsors' booths and collecting the stamps.   They will also have the opportunity to win fabric paks, pattern paks, books & many other prizes. Then one lucky shop owner will win the Legacy Sampler Quilt shown in the Smilebox above to use in her shop for classes, clubs, & promotions.  That will be one very lucky gal ! I am so privileged to be one of the designers involved in this project.  See them all at the Kansas City March  and visit their blogs & websites listed there.  A Schoolhouse session is also scheduled at market where our shop owners can learn all about this fun opportunity.  Don't miss out !
