Getting Ready For Houston!


In our last post Jacquelynne Steves talked about her upcoming free block of the month, "Sew Sweet Simplicity." Make sure that you sign up to join in on the fun. As we said on Friday, Jacquelynne made a tutorial about making Flying Geese blocks because the blocks in the BOM feature flying geese units and some "bonus" half-square triangle unit. Check out the tutorial. What will you make with the flying geese units and "bonus" HSTs? Jacquelynne designed this lovely Christmas quilt. You can download the free pattern for this fun quilt here.


Speaking of holidays, we are continuing with our "Countdown To The Holidays" event. Last week's winner of our giveaway is John Hutchens. Congratulations! Please contact us to claim your prize.


We will be giving away a bundle of Kim Diehl's "Butter Churn Basics" to this week's winner. This is a versatile basics line that features the pretty prints that Kim is known for designing.



In addition, Jacquelynne has added some more goodies to the giveaway prize for this week. The winner this week will win the bundle of fabric plus a fabulous PDF pattern prize bundle. Good luck!

a Rafflecopter giveaway






This is a friendly reminder for those of you who are attending Quilt Market this week. We are excited by our book, "A Flair For Fabric" and we will be involved in several fun book signings. More details of Henry Glass happenings can be found in our current newsletter.


Good luck!
