Hi everyone, I just got back from a 9 day Mediterranean Cruise! It was a very nice trip. This was my first trip overseas. I am glad to be back in the USA!

Here is the all to famous photo of me holding up the Tower of Pisa!

This is the shore of the rich and famous - know as Monaco!

And this is the beautiful country of Italy!

Well my next adventure will be Ireland and you can go with me. The trip is scheduled for June 3 to 11, 2012. The trip is sponsored by Sew Many Places. We will be flown from Dallas to Dublin and then make our way to Galaway with a 3-day pass to the International Quilt Festival of Ireland.

New Block of the Month

2011-07-29T16:01:00.000-05:00

New Block-of-the-Months

Garden Party (6 months)
Cotton Club (12 months)
Cardinals in the Pines (3 months)

Aunt Grace's "Garden Party" Block of the Month -
Starts September 2011 - 77" X 83"

Judie Rothermel and quilt designer Vickie Bellino (of Bloom Creek) collaborated on this BOM project for nearly one year, and it was revealed that like Judie, Vicki also had an aunt who shared her passion for gardening with her local gardening club. As such, GARDEN PARTY was the natural choice in naming the design, featuring red, blue, yellow and green, Judie's favorite flower colors. The BOM design highlights Vicki's creative appliqué & piecing techniques, done in horizontal rows that represent flowers in ontal row. The result is a cheery arrangement that Judie hopes will inspire all Aunt Grace enthusiasts to plant flower gardens of their own! The program runs from September 2011 to March 2012.

The cost of this block of the month will be $32.99 per month for 6 months. The first 12 to sign up will receive a Garden Party tote bag.

"Cotton Club" Block of the Month - Starts September 2011 -
78" X 85"
Marcus Fabrics is pleased to introduce Cotton Club, a gorgeous collection designed by Paula Barnes of Bonnie Blue Quilts. To accompany the fabrics, Mary Ellen Robison and Paula Barnes, owners of Bonnie Blue Quilts, have also designed a sampler style BOM quilt featuring 5-inch blocks.
The collection was created around an antique border print from the mid 1800's, along with antique coordinates in varying shades of red and brown. The rich red tones include shades of Madder and Turkey red, both commonly used in the 1800s. These are beautifully paired with brown, Bonnie Blue's signature color, of which Paula Barnes says, "We've never met a brown we didn't like and couldn't use in a quilt!"
For the quilt's 45 blocks, Barnes selected small, closely spaced motifs, noting that their scale would lend themselves to the 5-inch size, while shirtings were added to provide lights. The decorative border stripe is cleverly pieced in some of the blocks.

This block of the month will run September 2011 to August 2012. The cost will be $21.99 a month for 12 months. The first 12 to sign up will receive a cotton canvas Cotton Club tote.

"Cardinals in the Pines" Block of the Month - Starts August, 2011
65" X 77"

Fly into winter with this new Block of the Month brought to us by Wing and a Prayer Designs and Timeless Treasures. This beautiful project is all done in 3 months! Starts in July!

Bonus 23" square pillow,
and 53" X 21" Table Runner.

The Cost will be $37.99 a month for 3 months.

Bus Trip was a blast!

2011-07-25T20:55:00.001-05:00

THE BUS TRIP WAS A

BLAST!

The first ever Quilters Quest Bus Trip was wonderful. The shops loved it and all the bus riders loved it. The buses and their driver were excellent. Heard nothing but praise for them.

This is Daniel. He was the bus driver for Tomorrow's Quilts. There were 7 buses total for 7 shops.

The ladies had a wonderful time. Shari was the bus Mom from TQ. She cracked the whip!

The ladies loved the Fairfield Inn in Victoria. This is where they stayed and played.

They had fun splashing around in the water.

I have been paid to not to name names!

Our bus visited 6 shops. The Quilt Haus in New Braunfels was one of them.

Another stop on the tour was Poppys Quilt 'N Sew in Georgetown.

It was mentioned that the back of the bus was NOISEY! Again, I have been paid not to name names.

This un-named source is demo-ing the new "planking" craze.

The Tomorrow's Quilts group consisted of 40 ladies, 1 bus mom and 1 bus driver and a WHOLE lot of fun.

The group returned with full bags Sunday around 6 pm.

This is one of the buses that I went out to meet and greet!

Here I am talking with the BUS DAD from Giddings.

My 6 employees working very hard to keep the money flowing.

Good work Girls!
