It’s the July/August issue of Quiltmaker Magazine!This means that Part THREE of the Lazy Sunday mystery is nearly at your door step…and things are starting to come together!
I really had a great time working with these colors….yes, some of the colors were from the left overs of my Easy Street, but that wasn’t all that I threw in there. I was inspired by fabrics and colors that had come home from Bali with me just last August ---bright beautiful color, and I loved how happy these fresh colors made me feel.
Orange and hot pink and lime green and turquoise….and let’s throw in some purple for good measure! These are all colors that strike a chord in my memory of our batiking expedition.
If you have not kept up with the mystery so far..it’s not too late! Previous issues are still available..you CAN catch up because it will be 2 months before the last installment comes out. You can even get your copies digitally HERE.
Where is this going and why does one star have a green corner?!
Wait and see!
Also included in this issue: My Addicted to Scraps column!
Perfect for summer! This is Berry Bushel!
And look what the Quiltmaker Team has done for a simple sample layout:
This is just what I envisioned...isn't it fun how the blocks come together to create a positive/negative design? This one would look great with cornerstones and sashings too because the cornerstones would connect the chains through the blocks.
That’s not all you will find in this issue! Quiltmaker is PACKED with gorgeous quilts, and directions are provided to help you create these from start to finish, including color options and quilting designs.
Goodies found in this issue!
One for ME – and One for THEE!!
I’ve got an extra copy for a lucky winner! Please leave a comment on this post, or in the guestbook in the left hand side column for a chance to win this issue! PLEASE remember to leave your email address. Not all those who comment have been leaving email addresses. Be sure your email is linked to your blogger/google profile or if not, please leave your email. I have had to pass up winners in the past because there was no way to contact them.
We will draw for the winner on Sunday, June 2nd and this issue will be on its way to one lucky winner!
I leave for Ireland on June 4th! Oh GOODNESS!
Quilt Cam tonight? Who’s game? I’m not even sure WHAT I’ll be working on tonight….maybe some simple string piecing at the treadle!
lovely as always!

I don't need you to reply Bonnie, as you are already the busiest gal I know of! What I wonder, is how you accomplish so much. With all you do, I don't know how you have time to piece or quilt !! You can stand and bow when asked " Will the Real Super Woman, please Stand ! " With much admiration, Julia in Missouri
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great issue! Thanks for the chance to win it.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this!
ReplyDeleteI've seen the magazine in the store and had to pass it by for the time being. I'd love to have it though.
ReplyDeleteNo need to reply Bonnie! You are already the busies gal I know of. I have wondered many times how you are able to accomplish so much, and still find time to piece and quilt. You can certainly stand and take a bow when asked " Will the real Super Woman please stand ! " Julia, still in Missouri
ReplyDeleteI got my digital copy Monday! Love using it on my Ipad! I got my subscription just for this project. I have part 1 cut and sewed and have part 2 cut and partly sewed. Im hoping to finish the top before the retreat! Dont enter me in the drawing!

ReplyDeleteI am very curious why the one corner is green! Looks like a fun quilt.
ReplyDeleteMy email address is k2sattlers at comcast.net
I really want to make this one. wonderful as always.
ReplyDeleteYou inspire me!! Just finished quilt cam and now I know what I am doing for our guild "bee" quilt. I'm doing a crumb block center to pass on for someone else to add to. Should be interesting to see how it comes back home!!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog, I have learned so much.
Loved Quiltcam tonight, my favorite thing to do-the scrappier, the better! After we collect, sew into crumb blocks, strip squares, etc etc, don't forget the last "tail ends" of tinest pieces need to go into doggy pillows for the Humane Society! I have taught the quilters who come to my Quilt Cabin to save the scraps - if they don't want to use them, I do! Most fun thing to do, or watch you do it! Thanks so much - I have been a subscriber to Quiltmaker since it's inception, so don't need the copy, just waiting for mine, ready to work on the next step! Have a great time on your trip - Carol in AR
ReplyDeleteI have a digital subscription and a subscription but want a copy to give to my charity quilting group.

Thanks for sharing Bonnie! Isn't it amazing how excited we can get over fabric? I love the summer colors and get almost silly thinking about my batik scraps that might go into this quilt, the lemon yellows, the lime greens, the pumpkin oranges and lollipop pinks...oh the choices!

Thank you for the chance to win this issue. Enjoy your designs.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a chance to win this issue. I have the first two and have been waiting for this one. Loved the cabin pic's what a great place to retreat to and recover from your busy schedule of travel. Some quality and quilty time away from home.

ReplyDeleteI got Part 1 because Victoria's Star Splitter was on the cover and Part 2 because I wanted the paper piecing pattern for Wild & Goosey, so now I may as well collect Part 3 of Lazy Sunday, it'll have to go onto the long "Want To Do" list! :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your issue in Quiltmaker. We are so lucky to have you living in North Carolina! Crossing my fingers on winning the magazine. Thank you for keeping it exciting!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your trip to Ireland! Hopefully you'll have cooler weather there than here in Maryland. (Hmm...I may need to Google the latitude on this one.) Just assumed Ireland would be a bit north than Maryland. Regardless, it's just too hot here!! A good time to push aside the heavy quilting (only briefly) and gather up a lemonade and an issue of Quiltmaker, and get inspired :)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderfuly trip!
Would love to win this magazine since it's not one that I buy on a regular basis. FUN!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win! I love that block.
ReplyDeleteI just love this site. I keep finding quilts I wish I could make. There just is not enough time in my life to do them. Some time in the near future I will be retired and will be able to quilt all I want. Please keep your site up forever so I can come back for more.
ReplyDeleteHave fun in Ireland!
ReplyDeleteHave fun in Ireland. Wish I was going with you.
