Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Calendar

 For each issue of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks, Quiltmaker sends a little thank you gift to the designers and block testers.  In the past they've sent big buttons, mugs, mouse pads, aprons, and tote bags.  This time it's a calendar.  The cover has a wonderful photo of all 100 blocks ~ isn't that fun?

Whoever put together the months did a really nice job.  Each month features a block theme that coordinates with that time of the year.  My "Grow a Little Love" block is featured in February, along with a bevy of Valentine and red blocks.  So sweet!  You could sew all of these blocks into a special Valentines quilt for a special someone.

Thank you, Quiltmaker!

Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Volume 16 Road Rally Blog Tour

 Hello and welcome to my little corner of the Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Volume 16 Road Rally Blog Tour.  I'm so glad you've taken a few minutes out of your busy day to visit me!  You are rolling your  virtural "road rally" car into the beautiful countryside of Henderson, North Carolina.  We're at the peak of the fall foilage this week, my favorite time of the year.  I love the way the bright leaf colors pop against the gray skies.

This is my block for issue 16, "Grow a Little Love".  It is block #1509.  The pattern for this block appears on page 12 in the applique section of the magazine.

I designed and made a small wall hanging to showcase the Grow a Little Love block.  This quilt features fabrics from the Peony Passion fabric line, by Lynnea Washburn, for Northcott Fabrics.

This block would make a wonderful friend gift as a wall hanging, pillow, or sew three in a row to create a cute table runner.  The possibilities are endless!

To win a copy of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks, please leave a comment below.  Let's make it interesting ~ what is your favorite flower?  I look forward to reading your answers.  The winner will be chosen randomly.  Please be sure I have a way to contact you, if you should be the lucky winner.

Aloha Flowers Quilt Homecoming

Yesterday my Aloha Flowers quilt arrived home! I was so happy to see it.  I'm hanging this bright and happy quilt in my kitchen for a while.  I love the way the swirly quilting came out on this small quilt.

It is actually meant to be a table runner.  You can see how it looks here on my little table, with the October morning sun streaming in the windows.  Because it is October, however, I have a pumpkin table runner in that place for the season.

If you would like to sew some Aloha Flower blocks, you can find the pattern in Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks, Volume 11.

Have you sewn any blocks from the Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks series?  Please leave a comment below.

Have a lovely day,

Jennifer Schifano Thomas
