March/April 2015 Quiltmaker! Give-Away!

20150203_080531
I am still unearthing myself out from under the huge stack of mail that has come in over the past couple weeks!

But this envelope I knew right away!

It’s the March/April 2015 issue of Quiltmaker Magazine – the issue that has my Twirl Around blocks for my Addicted to Scraps column!

I’ve been working on these blocks over the past couple of weeks – I have a plan for them!

And while there are things I can’t show online because they are going in as a future magazine project, or book project, or video project – THESE I CAN!!

 20150203_075941

My stack is growing!


I worked on these while at retreat at Quilt Villa this past week!

And now you can work on them too!

Each issue of Quiltmaker also includes a link to my Addicted to Scraps page on Quiltmaker.com

You can also access the page for each block by clicking the block title under the Addicted to Scraps tab at the top of the blog!  Clicking the title under the photo for the March/April Twirl Around block will take you HERE.

You will find sample layouts for quilts, or choose your own setting!  The Quiltmaker Staff chose this one:


Great big spaces, perfect for quilting designs!

I have my own plans for this quilt –and you won’t see it until it is done.  But nothing can stop you from stock piling blocks back in anticipation of a quilt I know you are going to want to make with me!  This way it’s a half-mystery and you are going to love the reveal!

20150203_080044

Pick up a copy of Quiltmaker and get started on your own Twirl Around blocks today!

I’m feeling in the mood for a Give-Away!  Leave me a comment below telling me what colors you would choose for your own set of blocks!

I’ll be drawing for THREE lucky winners by random number generator on Sunday Evening.

Small print: 

No, you can’t email your comment in, you can’t comment in the guest book, you can’t comment on facebook or instagram…it has to be HERE. On this post.  So I can use the random number generator to choose our lucky winners.  It’s only fair that way!
 
If you are a blogger or google user, PLEASE check your profile to make sure your email address is visible and I can reach you.  If there is no email address on your profile I have to choose someone else.  If you are commenting as anonymous you must leave your name and your email address so I can reach you.
 
When in doubt, just please leave your email address!  It’s that simple!
 
If you are reading us on an iphone or ipad after clicking a link in facebook you must open this page in a new browser or safari window before you can comment.  Your device still thinks you are in facebook even though you do not think you are.  If you still see the blue bar at the top of your screen…trust me. You are still in facebook!
 
Same goes for Blog-lovin.  Get OUT of blog-lovin and view our page directly. The URL is HERE.  You can’t always comment while reading in a blog reader service.  Make sure our address starts with http://quiltville.blogspot.com  No bloglovin in the address!

Good Luck Everyone!
 
I’m looking forward to Quilt-Cam at 9pm EST tonight!  I hope you will join me!  We missed it for all of January.  I was just GONE with no time to do it.
 
Make it an awesome Tuesday, everyone and I’ll see you tonight!

    I love your block. I am about half finished with your Grand Illusions quilt and your colors helped me break out of my normal color box. For this block I think it would be pretty in the grey and yellows that I have been collecting.

    Hello. My name is Brenda and I am now addicted to Bonnie's Blog (thanks to Louise and Jean!) Quite frankly, I have no intention of becoming un-addicted, so now I would love a copy of the magazine. My colours will be white and 2 shades of blue. I also like the idea of a Christmas quilt!

  151. Bonnie, you amaze me with your super FUN ideas for the cutest blocks and quilt patterns. I want to make each and every one of your patterns! This is another super cute idea for using scraps, and the chance to win the magazine is awesome! I have a little stash of turquoise prints that would be fun to use, maybe with some bright yellow!

  162. Thank you so much for the giveaway....
    I would probably go with yellows and blues because that seems to be what I have the most of at the moment. I do like your greens though. My sewing room is painted in a pale green... it cheers me every time I go into it.

  164. I love this block. I want to make them out of dark blues and pinks that are hot. I have tons of hot pinks left over from girls quilts. Love your blog.

  165. Great block, I'm more aligned to less bright tones, so maybe blues, yellow golds, cream. Still over two weeks before I'm home and near my quilting room - I'm so lonely without them!

  170. I think I would try to make it for a Christmas quilt. We don't have one for the living room so that would be a great project for next Christmas.

  173. I love this block! It's just so sweet and fun. I have lots of purple and cream batik scraps. Maybe with a touch of teal? Thanks for all you do! I buy magazines if you are featured in them.

  174. Would love to win a copy. Have lots of scraps from GI.

  175. First of all thanks for the give-away. I've bee stopped in my tracks lately with cheddar and indigo. I'm thinking these would be fun to try in that combo. I think it'd be a different look. Can't wait to play around with some.

    ReplyDelete
  176. wow such a cool block. I would make mine in purples, teals and creams.
    Welcome home and thanks for the giveaway.

  177. I think I'd go with blues and grays for the block itself. Create 4-patch blocks similar to the Quiltmaker layout, with the solid fabrics being in dusty pink/mauve and sashing around the 4 blocks rather than around each block. Make it into a bed runner. Maybe matching pillow shams.

  184. I would most likely use bright batiks with this block :) I'd love it if I received a free copy of the magazine!

  185. I always like the look of purple and turquoise. Have not made a quilt with those colors.... yet.

    ReplyDelete
  186. I,m going to do pink and green also. Will match my oncoming spring mood?

    ReplyDelete
  187. As much as I like your lime green and pink blocks, I've currently got 2 WIPs in those colors. I think I would use yellow and black...

    Now I have a good reason to shovel out the car--to get the March/April Quiltmaker. A quilt for GD Angela would have to be in orange, teal & cream but GD Robin would prefer purple, green (sage) & cream--decisions, decisions! Looking forward to seeing you 'live' tonight.
