The September/October 2014 issue of Quiltmaker Magazine is IN THE HOUSE!
Wait…September…OCTOBER?!?
Holy COW! No wonder I can’t catch up no matter how I try!
It reminds me of working in the flower shop in Ontario Oregon between 1985-1989. I learned that we are really ALWAYS behind, because the displays were all about the next holiday down the road. Still drives me nuts and makes me feel a bit panicky.
I want to enjoy the WHOLE summer, not be focusing on October already, but if you can’t beat them, join them!
You are going to LOVE this issue….see those cute houses on the front?
The full pattern by Lori Holt is included:
Parkview Lane! CUTE!
And the gals at Quiltmaker issued several of us a challenge…to make our OWN rendition of Lori’s houses….take a sneak peak!
Parade of homes! Which one is MINE!?
You’ll find me at #4 Parkview Lane!
Would you have guessed me? By the string pieced roof?
This was a very fun project to do…I can see myself making MORE houses for a future project. You’ll find the pattern and can make your own variations by picking up this issue of Quiltmaker Magazine.
Also included in the magazine…My Addicted to Scraps column!
((Usually I am getting my issue just as it is going up on the Quiltmaker Website, but I’m early this month so I’m having to take photos from the magazine, no cute graphics to share…))
Addicted to Scraps block..FIRE-WEED!
((Bad glare on the photo!))
The fire-weed flower blooms across the rugged Alaskan landscape, softening the terrain’s hard-cut edges and bringing vibrant color to the countryside.
It’s almost August as I write this..if I remember correctly, that fire-weed should STILL be in bloom right about now. So pretty!
I used leftover nine patches made as leaders & enders from recycled fabrics. All of the red and cream triangles and the purple and cream triangles are buns units saved from other projects.
You’ll find the directions for the fire-weed block in the Addicted to Scraps column of the Sept/Oct issue of Quiltmaker Magazine!
So let’s have a Give-Away!
Sweet Deal!
I am giving away a Sept/Oct issue along with a July/August issue showing my Wanderlust quilt on the cover!

Next post will be from Illinois, stay tuned!

Bonnie, I loved your post about 'Please don't feed the quilter'. That is what my BFF tells people when they hand me a bag of scraps ! I love the surprise of what is in the bag when I get home and the inspiration that is ignited from those scraps is such a wonderful feeling. I would love to win a copy of Quiltmaker.

The houses are so cute! Thanks for the giveaway.
I sat down last night with the new Quiltmaker issue, looking at the house blocks. Our little guy (6-1/2 years old) climbed up beside me, glanced at my magazine, and immediately pointed to your block. He said, "I want to go to that house!"
Thanks for the great inspiration. Who doesn't love a good house block? The year is definitely traveling way too fast.
Would love to win the giveaway. Thanks for the chance. I've always wanted to do a house block.

Thanks for a chance to win the Quiltmaker magazines.
Thanks for the giveaway. Like the houses and especially your roof. Having trouble getting used to Quiltmaker's instructions. Info is split up strangely. Having to rewrite with it all together. Safe journey. If I lived in Atlanta, I'd come walk with you at the Atlanta airport.
Thanks for the Giveaway! They look great magazines. Love your little house, especially the string pieced roof which has given it a 3D effect. Like real gables jutting out. Enjoy your Illinois trip and then your UK visit. Still having a heat wave here, so come prepared! Hope I bump into you at the Festival of Quilts!
Really fun house blocks!
And QUilt Cam was really fun too :)
Love Quiltmaker magazine! Thanks for the chance to win!

I really like the 9 patch center of that block. A new quilt mag is always nice inspiration for a new project.

I love the "Fireweed" block. We were in Alaska 3 yrs ago, and Fireweed was all over my brother's & SIL's property. She said she'd heard it makes good jelly. So, the day we left, we picked a bunch and packed it. I came home and made jelly. It was good...kinda different, though. It had a florally taste to it. Go figure! I would love to win the giveaway. I LOVE making scrappy quilts.
Hi Bonnie, loved quilt cam last night. I would love to win the 2 magazines. love your column in the quilt maker magazine.
Enjoy Illinois...I know your attendees will. The new issue looks great, and I have been admiring Wanderlust on QuiltCam, so these magazines would be great to have. Blessings for the week.

Your house is lovely with its string roof. Win or not I need to get that Quiltmaker.
Thank you for the great giveaway, I would love to win the magazines.
Love Love Love! The houses are cute, but I love the block inspired by Alaska - My Mom & Sister just got there yesterday to visit with my niece's family. I will be sure to share the block with her if she wants to make a memory quilt of her visit!! Or a quilt for one of the granddaughters, as they are living there for 3-4 years. Thanks for the chance to win!!
You are such a great inspiration with all of your ideas and so funny. Enjoyed quilt cam again last night. Have fun in Illinois.
Adorable is the only word, and of course, yours would be string pieced. Watched part of QuiltCam last night and loved it--had to leave and socialize with DH at the end. If I don't win this issue of the magazine, will for sure be buying it. Have a safe and fun trip. my best email is kwdnancy@cebridge.net
Love you blog!! Read every entry you make!! Would love to win!!

Thanks for quilt cam last night. I enjoy it so very much I am not sure if my name and email are showing up or not so in order to register for giveaway this is ellen terry and my email is eterry@centurytel.net. Your comments last night about accuracy were so true. I am a decent seamstress and quilter but the accuracy thing continues to be my biggest challenge on quilting. Your tips and suggestions on
marking your seam allowance and the credit card/door key suggestions are great! using the guide may have single handedly improved my accuracy more than any other one thing I have tried.
