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!

Blues, purples and Black batiks

Kathy said...

I'm thinking brights against a pretty sky blue, just like the pinwheels that I played with as a child!

lindaroo said...

I trust your choice of colors! Though I do have a lot of orange scraps, and the twirl might look a bit like California poppies, wouldn't that be nice?!

Joanna said...

Great block and you chose neat colors. I think I would try autumn hues, like golds, browns and creams.

Oh, green and purple! Prettiest quilt I have ever seen was those two colors. That quilter really opened my eyes to all the possibilities when I was a brand new quilter. I will always be grateful to Miss Lois for showing me that quilt!

Debra in Ohio said...

Well, Bonnie, I would make my blocks in blues and browns. Since I have so many blues and browns in my stash, that would be a great reason to actually use my stash AND I have been making so many bright quilts lately that it would be nice to have a calmer one to quilt for a change. Thanks for the chance to win!

Jeanne said...

Hi! Three colors. Ok deep teal, a lighter teal or Aqua and then a cream low volume print. Thank you, Bonnie!

Brit Schjelderup said...

Hi Bonny. Lovely blocks. I would choose orange instead of pink, leave the greens as they are, but consider using a dark background.

The colors you used are gorgeous. I think I would use some combination of brights in the pink, purple and aqua ranges. Will have to try some bright greens soon, I guess.

Hi Bonnie,
Thanks for a chance at a giveaway. I have been wanting to make a civil war quilt in pinks and brown. That would be my choice with Bonnie - style neutrals.
Take care,
Dianne

Hi Bonnie -

I would love to use yellows, pinks, and greens in these blocks with a light background. I, too, am considering subscribing to Quiltmaker and learned about it through your blog. I have purchased some single issues and luckily found a pattern for your Garlic Knot (I think that was it) block that I incorporated into a project this past summer. Love your energy and passion.
