We are busy getting ready for Quilt Market later this month. One of the highlights of this market will be the debut of our book, "A Flair For Fabric" that is published by our friends Martingale & Co. Designer Linda Lum DeBono, who compiled the book, received her advanced copy. It looks fabulous. We can't wait to share more with you. Make sure that you pre-order this book from your local quilt shop now.
It's Monday and that means it's our "Countdown To The Holidays" event. Last week's winner is Barbara Dillard Smith Woods. Please send us your contact information here. If you make something from our fabric send us a photography of that too!
This week we will be giving away a bundle [1/2 yard pieces] of "Crazy Like Us" by Buggy Barn. Tell us about your craziest quilting story. Did you do something crazy fun during a retreat? We know, what happens at the retreat stays at the retreat. What about the craziest thing that you have stitched to a quilt? Have you made a quilt from plastic bags? Do you have a crazy story behind a quilt that you made? We want to hear your fun stories. If you don't that's ok too. Just say hello in the comments to enter.

ReplyDeleteI don't have any crazy quilting stories but I can tell you I go a bit 'crazy, mad, ballistic' on the days my new sewing machine decides to skip stitches. Thanks for a chance in your giveaway that makes me happy!
ReplyDeleteI will be making Christmas Stockings for some new family additions. Thanks for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteAfter messing up on a wall quilt I had to figure a way to conceal it. I printed the name of the quilt on a piece of muslin then applique it's over the boo-boo. I looked great!
ReplyDeleteI live in France and everything closes down in the winter, the French seem to hibernate until the sun comes out again! Without my quilting I would go crazy in the winter. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI was making a Jinny Beyer quilt and event though I read the instructions over and over again I somehow sewed all the pieces upside down. I cut the pieces correctly put them on my design board to ensure I was going to put it together correctly and kept referring to the pattern but still sewed it wrong. I think I may have dyslexia as this isn't the first time and to me it's correct and then once completed I realize it's completely flipped. My husband says it's just artistic license Lol.
ReplyDeleteI need to finish a couple UFO's

ReplyDeleteMy sister and I were getting together to quilt each month. We both started a quilt project and a short time into it, we hated it. They were different projects, but we had the same sentiments about them... We did promise each other to finish them anyway... They were finished and we each called them the quilts from H...L. They were NOT FUN... But the funny thing was, we both gave them to our mother in laws!!! They were loved!
I am making quilts for Christmas gifts, along with microwave bowl holders, iPad stands and reusable paper towels. A fun-for-me story was when I dropped in at The Buggy Barn to find they had had a water pipe burst which soaked a bunch of their fabric...I was there when they were selling it for about $1.50 a yard! I totally scored there!!
ReplyDeleteFor Christmas I am working on some hot pads and coasters. I may do a table runner or something like that as well.
ReplyDeleteThe craziest think to happen when I was quilting was when I sewed my finger. My husband had to pull the needle out of my finger! Yes it hurt!
ReplyDeleteHello! No crazy story, unless you consider 1st quilt ever to be a hand pieced queen sized quilt 'Tennessee Waltz Variation'. Reversible - different pattern on other side. Trying to get the tops, quilted for the holidays.

I am making some cute fabric Christmas ornaments. I made some in 1976 and when my kids left home in the late 90's, I gave each of them some. Over the years they have lost some. I happened to find the pattern from 1976 in a thrift shop last year, so I am making each of them a new set.
