Q is for Quilter blog. Thank you Martha!!
My friend Randy (Barristers Block) is doing the Farmer's Wife quilt and wants to do it with a group. Check it out if you are interested. I always prefer working with more then myself!! It is much more fun and way more motivating!!
That's a nice win. The quilting book looks interesting. I read that same blog as well.
ReplyDeleteLori, this is one of my all time favorite books!!! I'm sure you will enjoy it!! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteNow I've decided I need that book too. Congratulations on your sweet win.
ReplyDeleteI'd never heard of this book, but if you and Doniene both like it, I must look into it further. Those are tiny RPtoPP blocks. Wow, are you hand piecing?
ReplyDeleteI am ready to go when Randy starts--don't know how well I will keep up with 6 a month, but I'm going to try. My book is ordered and my fabrics chosen!
Congrats on your win - cute little blocks! Hand or machine? neat packaging too.
ReplyDeleteI love that book - great choice, wonderful motifs.
Thanks for sharing!
you know i don't have that book. i think a friend of mine does though and i may ask to borrow it so that i can decide if it would be a good addition to my quilting pattern library. i have a strong feeling that i'm not going to be able to live without it ~!!~ lol

I've been wondering if I need that book too :0) That looks like a very challenging kit to make - have fun!!
ReplyDeleteGood for you; this book is one of the best, I think.
ReplyDeleteYour little prize blocks are sweeeet!
Wonderful prize to win, I know you will make something beautiful with them. I will have to go check out that book, looks interesting.

Lovely book. On rainy days I like to sit in a warm spot and read through my books, well maybe look through my books. How many little blocks can you make with your win? Have fun with them, I know you will!!!
ReplyDeleteI have that one or a similar one, maybe a follow up one? Anyways, I love any books on marking and hand quilting, I just ordered one from England today.
ReplyDeleteI have that book too and just used it for inspiration a few days ago!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite go to books.
ReplyDeleteThose are super cute blocks, congrats on the win!
I've seen that book recently too, and resisted checking it out, and now you have brought back to my attention LOL!!!! I knew if I saw it again, it could be my downfall LOL!!! I can feel a downfall coming on!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your lovely win!!
What an awesome giveaway you won. Those are sweet little blocks and the hard part of piecing the tiny curves is finished for you. What are those bags that the blocks are in? They look like they are perfect for storing the cut pieces for my little house blocks. I would love to try to find some. You are so right that the book is excellent. I have a copy too and like looking at it for ideas.
ReplyDeleteGreat little prize.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you are getting a commission on the books. I just ordered 4 at a friend's request (one for me of course!)
Jenny Carr Kinney lives in my town and taught classes at the local college and for free adult education for years. I took one of her quilting classes when I first started quilting and learned an awful lot. Her hand quilting is exquisite and she's just a charming woman. Great book writer, too!
ReplyDeleteThat's one of my favourite quilting books too.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have fun with Martha's quilt kit.
Wow, curved piecing...my nemesis. What wonderful fabrics though. It was fun to look at them all on Martha's blog.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a book I need!
I have that book and love it. It's a fabulous resource. Congratulations on all your wins!
ReplyDeleteI went to Martha's blog and read about the sweet little cuts of vintage fabrics that you won. Score one for Lori!
ReplyDeleteQuilting along with a group to make the Farmer's Wife quilt sounds enticing, but just too many WIPs going on right now.
Oh great win Lori! Will look forward to seeing that little project!
ReplyDeleteI have that book too and have a design from it that I want to put on one of my quilt tops waiting in the wings!
Lovely win...will check out the quilting book ..Warm Regards, O'faigh
ReplyDeleteI've had that book for awhile and really enjoy it...even learned a bit from it!
ReplyDeleteGot that book a couple of months ago during a sale .... It's awesome. My only complaint -- it's not long enough!
ReplyDeleteI ordered that book, too. I think it was Tara at Sew Unique Creations who mentioned it most recently. I haven't had a chance to read it, but the photos and drawings are great.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your win - those little blocks will make a sweet quilt.
Shucks I did see this and I thought to buy it but dontcha know some fabric had to fall into my hands. I don't know how that happened either. Sheesh.
