I am super excited to share with you a new video that I put up on the GE Designs YouTube Channel. This is a video of me making the Nina quilt from start to finish! See how much time is saved with the Stripology Ruler!

 

To celebrate the release of the video and the fact that it is CYBER MONDAY tomorrow, I am having a sale on my Etsy Kit shop which extends through December 4th....which is the best day of the year....and my birthday:)

Use the coupon code THANKS2014 to receive 20% off your total order and that applies to everything in the shop! Even the Stripology ruler.

On top of that, I will reimburse your shipping charge if your total order is over $100 total. 

I hope you had a great Thanksgiving holiday and Happy Cyber Monday shopping!

Quiltmaker's 100 blocks Vol. 10!

It's hard to believe that this week celebrates the release of the 10th issue of Quiltmaker's 100 blocks magazine. That means that we have ONE THOUSAND quilt blocks so far through the magazine! I have been so fortunate to be a part of most of the issues, I think I am only missing in 2 of them. 

 

My block in this issue is called Fast Track and I was so excited to see it featured on the cover of the magazine!

 

I used my Victory fabric line by Red Rooster fabrics for my block. The pinwheel in the center gives the block some movement and makes the colored squares kind of dance around it.

The colored squares can each be cut out of a charm square so it is a great block to use up some orphan charms. 

Make sure to follow the 100 Blocks Blog Tour every day this week Nov. 17.-21. at the Quiltmaker Blog, Quilty Pleasures for lots of inspiration, ideas and of course some great giveaways.

I will be drawing 2 winners who will receive their own copy of the new Magazine and a set of the newest GE Designs patterns. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The winners will also each get their own copy of my new book Stripology.

All you have to do is tell me what you are most excited about eating or cooking for Thanksgiving next week:)

Winners will be posted here on Saturday Nov. 22nd.

I - Strip in school colors!

One of my new patterns that was released at quilt market in Houston got a lot of attention from shop owners in Indiana, Illinois and Iowa. This is I-Strip.

It is made with 2-1/2" strips and offers 5 different sizes. 

Why all the attention? They were all taking it home and making one in their local school colors! Isn't that a great idea? So of course I had to make mock up quilts in all the school colors I could imagine. 

I think the quilt is a perfect one for a college student. The design works both for a boy or a girl and if the intended recipient is not going to a school in one of the I states, the I should just stand for Independence as they venture onto the next phase in their lives.
