Guess what was in my mail box?? Whoowhoo!
Doesn’t it freak you out when it is still 2013 –abeit the last of it—and you are get a magazine for Jan/FEB 2014? Is it Valentine’s Day already?!
There are such GREAT quilts in this issue –I’m already in love with the basket quilt on the cover.
That soft blue sashing in a streak of lightning setting? Scrumptious!
I spent some time thumbing through all of the pages last night, and I know you are going to love this issue.
Take a peek at what you’ll find inside:
Judy Laquidara’s Oh, Sew Blue! Really caught my eye!
I have always loved Blue and White quilts!
And Miss Judy has an eye for design that inspires me to look at things differently ---this is just WOW!
But you’ll also find my Addicted to Scraps column!
This issue I am featuring a fun block called Garlic Knots after the yummies served in Italian restaurants, oozing with garlic and dripping with butter..MMmmm! These cuties, however, will not leave you with a bad taste in your mouth the next morning! LOL!
Check out the layout that the Quiltmaker peeps have suggested:
Learn more by visiting the Garlic Knots page on Quiltmaker.com HERE
Did you know you can see ALL of the blocks from my Addicted to Scraps columns by clicking the Addicted to Scraps tab at the top of the blog? Check it out!
Let’s have a Give-Away!
I’m going to draw for one winner! Leave me a comment in the comments section below!
I’ll draw for the winner on Sunday Evening while I’m in Germany!
The magazine will be mailed to the lucky winner when I return home.

Your blocks in this issue fascinate me.. thanks for showing the diagram of a whole quilt.
Have a Grandson in college wanting another HEAVY quilt, these might be perfect! Easy enough, yet interesting too. He is studying engineering... he would like this pattern.

Love the new pattern. You are so much fun to follow.
Thanks for the chance to win the magazine!
Need to make a baby quilt; love the garlic knots. Thanks for the giveway!
I also read Judy's blog....she does beautiful quilts......I really love garlic knots.....it looks like a must do quilt......have a wonderful time in Germany....
What a fun block! That Oh, Sew Blue pattern is intriguing, too--such an interesting setting.
Beautiful blocks! I would love to win the magazine.
I enjoy seeing (and sometimes making) your "addicted to scraps" blocks. This one looks like it has many setting possibilities --- one of those areas that makes the same block appear so different in different quilts. Wishing you a great trip to Germany.
Would love to win this! Garlic knots looks like a great little block.
I would love to win this. The garlic knots looks very nice.
Looks like a good leader ended project. Would love to win it. Enjoy Germany. Wish I were going. Gloria
Looks like a really great issue of Quiltmaker. The Cedar Lodge quilt caught my eye. It looks like a Bonnie H. design. I am adding it to my list of Wanna Do.
Fishies, prisms, garlic - what's not to like about this issue? Hope I win.
Gute Reise (literally "good travel")! You are going to love Muenchen (Munich). I went to the Christmas Market there several years ago. Have a Gluehwein for me (the "glueh" is for "warmth", not glue!).
Love, love, love the Oh, Sew Blue!!! Blue is absolutely my favorite color...my husband has always said, "You'd love me more if I were a Smurf."
Thanks for the chance!

This looks like an awesome issue. Lots of ideas to use my stash down. have a wonderful, safe trip.

Hi Bonnie thanks for the opportunity to win this great magazine. I am teaching my 9yr old GD to sew, thought that we could make baby quilts after the new year and give to Christmas Cheer next December. Have a great trip will be following on your blog.

Lovely pattern Bonnie! Cannot wait to hear about your German adventure!
I love the basket blocks made from Downtown Abbey inspired fabric. I've never set blocks on point, but I would certainly try this one. I'd love to win a copy.
Have a great time in Germany. I visited the Christmas Market in Cologne a few years ago and what I most remember was the gluewein! The temperatures were so low gluewein really hit the spot! There were loads of beautiful candles and hand carved wooden ornaments on sale.
Don't forget your gloves! I did, and spent valuable time looking for some!
:) Perfect timing! I have decided that 2014 is the year bust my stash! Love your garlic knots! :)
Hi Bonnie, my daughter and I met you when you were in Weatherford, Texas. It was Dianna who invited me. I have challenged myself to do your mystery quilt with the guidance of my daughter. I would love to win these issues of Quiltmaker for my daughter. Grammie Roo
Thanks for the chance to win, Bonnie! :-)
I am new to quilting but definitely not sewing. I have been sewing since I was very young. My first quilt was a T-shirt quilt for my daughter's college graduation present this year. I have been sewing up quilts ever since. Sometimes I am overwhelmed with all of the patterns that I don't know where to begin, but anxiously start each project with anticipation of how it is going to come out. I LOVE following your blog!!!
I would love to win this magazine...but if I don't win, I'm going to subscribe! Looks to be some great quilts!! Have fun in Germany!
I keep hoping I'll get lucky and win one of these. Maybe the give-away elves will help me this time.
Hugs,
Gypsy
Your block is cute. I think there will be garlic bread in my near future! I like the setting for the basket quilt, it adds more interest than simple sashing.
Yes, Judy's quilt is great. Love the Garlic Knots block......and I would love the magazine. Watched Quilt Cam last night, and have finished all the CS blocks. Ready for tomorrow!
Oh, I can already see a Garlic Knots in my future! I'm almost done with my Rick Rack Nines Leader/Ender project so this will step in right behind it. Thanks Bonnie!
Would love to win! I want to do a sampler setting like the quilt on the cover--on point and off set. Need directions as I have never done anything on point yet. Thanks for offering the giveaway.
Thank you for another opportunity to win a great prize. Enjoy your trip. Be Safe and hurry back. WE will miss you while your gone.
Garlic Knots ! What a great name for a scrappy quilt - or even a non-scrappy one. Gotta add it to my "someday list". As in "someday my stash will be used up" lol Thanks for sharing so many great ideas.
Oh, just love Garlic Knots! Gotta add it to my long to-do list Thanks for the chance to win!
Your trip will be marvelous. Once in flight all the details will be worth the effort. Stay warm and happy quilting. Quilting Hugs, Dianne Alley
Travel safely and have a lot of fun. I'll just have to live vicariously through you for now.
Finally, I've had time to work on my Celtic Solstice. Cutting is mostly done, so I'll start sewing today. Thanks so much!
Love your garlic knots block, must give them a try. Thanks!!! And for the full picture of Judy's quilt too, I just finished one of her designs, Fit for a Hero. Hugs!!!!

I'm a new fan and doing the mystery with friends in Phoenix. Watched Quilt Cam last night and worked on Clue #1. Hoping to finish up tonight and be ready Clue #2 tomorrow. I was looking at the pics above from the magazine and I think I was hypnotized while looking at Cedar Lodge. So many patterns to try! Thanks for all you do!
I would love to win and I want to try this new pattern. Even this scrappy newbie could do this one. Much love and have a great trip.
I saw this at my local store; hope I win. Thank you
Enjoy your trip, I hope you get to visit with friends and relatives you have there, I like your Garlic Knot Pattern, I hope I win this giveaway, I have missed several of these books. Would love to try the Garlic Knots once I get caught up with the mystery! Safe travels!

Looks like a great issue - so many beautiful quilts.

Bonnie, your posts of your travels and quilting information give me something to look forward to everyday!! Sorry to hear about that speeding ticket. I got one the day after I went to a motivational workshop and was claiming a good day, the officer didn't care. Lol!!
Garlic Knots, lovely pattern for a scrappy quilt. Makes my hungry, too! Thanks for the inspiration!
Love the baskets, but I love your Garlic Knots. I am a scrapper, so I love your great ideas, and I would love to see more!!

I love Quiltmaker magazine and would love to win this issue! Have a safe & fun trip to Germany. When my dad was stationed in Germany (Army) he brought back one of those cookoo clocks you mentioned on quilt cam last night. Yes they can be annoying but to a little girl sleeping over at grandmas house those on the hour cookoos was a comfort and memory I will have forever (BTW grandma is now 97 years young and going strong...hoping she makes it to 100 ;0))
Gracias por el sorteo,me encantatÃa ser la ganadora.

Quiltmaker is my favorite magazine!
Zero calorie garlic knots...that just proves that quilting is good for your health!
Pick me! Pick me! I always love new patterns.
Oh Wow ... when I saw that Oh Sew Blue, I instantly wanted to make it, and lo and behold, Bonnie liked it too! Kismet my friend, kismet! Enjoy your trip too!!
How did you decide on the name "Garlic Knots"? I wouldn't have that much imagination.
I have a similar quilt of the baskets that my grandmother made and used as a signature quilt.
Love your block. Can't wait to make it. I hope to win this magazine but if I don't, I will go out and buy it. Thanks again for all you do and have Great trip.

What a generous gift! Thank you and enjoy Germany!
The Fancy Fishes and Cedar Lodge really caught my eye along with the Garlic Knots, I really love garlic knots but cant eat the bread any more. So I may have to buy this one if I 'm not lucky enough to win it.
I really like that Oh So Blue quilt, too! That little spark on the edge before the border adds so much! Love it!
Thank You for the opportunity to win this magazine, Have fun in Germany

You block is lovely! Thanks for the chance to win!!
Just watched Quilt Cam and have discovered you are coming to England next year - I think you will love the American Museum in Bath, so full of quilts and historical artifacts, and the grounds are beautiful if you have time for a walk. Thanks for this giveaway, please enter me, and safe journey tomorrow.
kate_orchardmerkel@o2.co.uk
Loved Quilt Cam last night. Especially when you read my email and talked to me about not beating myself up if I don't finish step 1 by Friday. I think I am going to make it though. I would love to win the magazine.
Thank You ! :)
That looks like a great magazine, one which I would love to win.
Thank you for Quilt Cam - I missed it last night, but watched this morning while working on Celtic Solstice. This is my first mystery, and my first time working with the Tri Recs rulers. It was a bit of a challenge for me, but that is a good thing! Have a wonderful and safe trip to Germany!
Holly
I love the Garlic Knot block, and you're right, Judy's quilt is a winner, too! I'm not sure if I found you through Judy or Judy through you, but regardless, I'm grateful to you both for all that you've added to my quilting experience! Enjoy Germany!
Looks like I love BOTH your garlic knot block AND Italian Garlic Knots at the restaurant!! Ha ha. But yours are calorie-free. AND BEAUTIFUL. Thanks for a chance to win the magazine.
Love your Garlic Knots block! It would be a wonderful block to work on as a leader/ender! Hope you have a wonderful time in Germany. I'm looking forward to tagging along with you via your blog!
Oh - Oh - Oh - pick me, pick me!!! Pretty please. I have a bin full of strips just waiting for that block/quilt. Only one more sleep for you! Where are you all flying out of? Have a wonderful & safe trip!
Wow, two of my favorite quilt designers in one volume!! Your Garlic Knots looks like a great leader-ender, perhaps for Judy's Oh Sew blue??? Would love to win this one.
Have a great time on your Germany trip.
The little gift packs you kitted up last night are adorable. Thanks so much for the pattern and instructions for that cute project.
Be safe.

I would love to win the magazine, but even more, I love the Garlic Knots pattern. It would be a perfect pattern for our quilt to make as a charity quilt. In fact, I am going to suggest it at our next meeting.
Thank you for the chance to win the giveaway here in Australia, am loving your mystery quilt, my first, safe travels. Jenny
I've been working on 4" basket blocks leader/ender style for quite a while hoping to put them into just this setting. Would love to know how to do that kind of setting in EQ7 if anyone knows...

Great looking quilts. Love the blue one.
Count me in please Bonnie!
