I got something in the mail this week that I'm so excited about....a Kona Cottons color chart ;-D Now I'll know what colors I have, and what I need to order (online, most likely). It would have been less expensive at Pink Chalk, but they were out of stock when I ordered...
The Las Vegas Modern Quilt Guild had it's first meeting Thursday night at Quiltique. What a fun bunch of ladies!! We will meet again in a month for a mug rug swap and mini-sew-in....Many claimed that they felt funny cutting and making "wonky" blocks (and everyone is afraid of wasting fabric) so I graciously offered to bring a layer cake and teach a little class on "wonky" blocks. Remember this quilt....I'm going to quilt this prior to the next MQG meeting at the end of February!
The ladies will all cut and sew a few blocks, for practice, and then I'll get them back to make a quilt. ;-D And I have to grin again ;-D How nice of them!!! As time goes on, hopefully others will have ideas to share and we can all help make blocks for each other's quilts while learning new techniques at the same time. Genius!
Tomorrow is my birthday so I treated myself to some fat quarters....I'll wash and iron them today for Sunday's post. But in anticipation of my 100th post (which is today!!!), I was prepared for a little giveaway...
Congrats on 100 posts and a finish!! And I'm glad to hear that you have a great meeting with your MQG!! I was hoping it would be good for you! :)
ReplyDelete100 Zany posts, congratulations!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your posts and forwarded the ones about Zentangles on to a friend who is drawing them to keep her sanity during rehab.
Happy Birthday and congrats on your finish! The wonky blocks look great - I have never done them but looking at yours I am thinking I need to put it on my to do list! have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteLove the name quilt and the wonky blocks. Congrats on blogging

I am almost ot 100 post. It is nice of you to do a give away. I think I will do the same thing. I love your wonky blocks. Do you cute each set of blocks the same so that you can switch them around? What a cool idea.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, fellow Aquarian! I was just thinking about how much I missed Quiltique this morning! There aren't a lot of quilt shops like that one! If I still lived in Henderson, I would be making some wonky blocks with you ladies! I'm hosting a giveaway at my blog also, for my birthday! Stop by and enter!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 100 posts! And I like your wonky blocks quilt. :) Nice giveaway.

Yay, congrats on 100! The FQs are beautiful. Isn't it fun to treat ourselves to fabric on our birthdays? I love that. Enjoy the day :)
ReplyDeleteI follow you on my Google reader and enjoy your blog. I do not comment often. I would love to be the winner of your giveaway.
ReplyDeleteWell, I wasn't blogging back in Aug., so I'm kind of glad it took you so long to finish Rebecca's name quilt. Very nice and a charming idea...filing in notes for future gift idea inspiration!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt group sounds fun. I look forward to that one day, when the kids are older and I have time for that. Right now I feel like I'm part of an online quilt group with the blogs I follow!
Happy Birthday and Congrats on the 100th post! I'm thrilled to be a reader of your blog and get a chance to win your giveaway!!
Congrats on your 100th post! I am a faithful regular reader. It is a gret giveaway!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 100!!! That's a lot of great posts you have shared with us, thank you!
ReplyDeleteLove that the quilt club cuts *your* blocks and sews them so you went home with much of it done. That's a great idea for monthly meetings. Each gal could be "the quilted queen for the day" and bring a layer cake for the group to cut and sew for her to take home and finish! How fun!!!
Love the quilted name plaque, men's shirts is a great idea! And 4 hours? Wow, you're fast!!!
Thanks for a chance to win those lovely FQs!

ReplyDeleteGiveaway is closed...Ryan picked the winner...Jan Hatchett!
ReplyDeleteHey there, I know the giveaway is closed, so I'm not commenting for that... just wanted to say "hi" and that I'm looking forward to our "wonky block" lesson at the next MQG meeting! : )
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking of making some wonky log cabin blocks for my son's bed quilt ~ but also am hesitating to cut up the fabric to get started. It seems unnatural! But the end product is so fun!
