Sorry to bother and repost this…but i noticed some of my text changed colors? It was white and invisible…go figure that one out?
Hello, I’m Lisa, from Primitive Gatherings. If you are a regular visitor, or here for the first time…I welcome you to sign up to browse through earlier posts to learn more about me and my company… If you like what you see and want to follow me in my quilting adventures, just enter your email in the box provided on the bottom right of this site…If you are an “old” friend, Welcome back…and thanks for hanging out with me…
Are you here today for the Friendship Quilt Along sponsored by Moda?…the best fabric company in the world…Okay…maybe I am just a little biased….I want you all to know what a joy it is to be able to work with such an “over-the-top” company such as Moda, United Notions…They truly are the best at what they do and support “us” who work with them in many ways to help grow our “little” pattern companies.
NNow on to the Quilt Along… My Friendship block features our newest line of fabric: Snowman Gatherings. It is to arrive in our stores in April 2013. What I love about this line is that it has 2 cute little primitive snowman prints, but then all the other prints are little “reproductions” of vintage fabrics in 5 color ways, a wonderful deep navy, a union blue, and then three tones ranging from cream to dark tan. The prints consist of motifs that remind me of snow, swirling snow, stars and such… Another bonus is the fabric “goes along” with my other lines…One of the union blues in my block is from “Old Glory Gatherings”. It is nice to be able to collect fabrics…remember you do not have a “stash”…it is a Collection. You never have to feel guilting of having a collection. Collections are valuable!
Are you collecting all 28 blocks? This next link contains the PDF directions for my signature block, you can click and print…
I want to share some photos of Snowman Gatherings that were taken by Camille Roskelley for advertising purposes…They are so sweeeeeet!!! Thanks Camille for your camera talents!
Warm Winter Blessing is a BOM that will be starting in April/May…depending on when the fabric arrives…I would love to post a link to my store site where you can sign up…but at this moment our site is currently down due to an upgrade….This is a real bummer when there is so much going on right now…The new site will have lots of nice features…but right now half of our pictures and prices are not there and it looks like we were hijacked…no logo and a bunch of random stuff going on…another issue is we didn’t realize our company that is upgrading us is in England! 6 hour time difference…so Please come back and visit when all is back up and running, we have lots of nice samples and wools and inspiration…and keep your fingers crossed it all works our and we don’t have to go back to our “old” site and rebuild it… If you want to be sure to get a spot in this BOM you may call us…920-722-7233 Sorry for this inconvenience this may cause…I am going to share the link here but it may not work for you right now…but you will come back and visit later, right? Warm Winter Blessing
Now back to the Signature Blocks….
I just love signature quilts. This is a signature block that I had framed and it hangs in my studio. Back in the day…they had signature stamps. I would love to have stamp created for me…I guess this is a lost art. This was not a “rubber” stamp like we have today…I believe they were made of metal…and could be very finely etched… In the second picture you can see how fine and detailed they were… I have attached a few signature quilts, that I have found, some are antique and some are new…some are little images but just so you can get another idea for a signature quilt.
What is a Blog Hop without a GIVE AWAY!!! Moda has generously donated some goodies…Two Layer Cakes and a Dessert Roll….Do you know what a dessert roll is? It is a 5″ strip of 20 fabrics from the line….These are NEW to the Moda Bakeshop offerings………If you wish to have a chance at winning one of these “pretties” please leave a comment in my comment section!
If you missed any of my fellow designers posts or need to know where to go next here is a list of the dates and sites….
Remember to visit the Moda Cutting Table on March 1st for a finishing layout for all of your Signature blocks!!!
Thank you for stopping by today…and again if you wish to “sign up” for this blog…Please do so at the bottom right… I will pick winners on March 1st!!! Take Care, Keep Stitching and Good Luck! Lisa

Lisa I would LOVE to win your giveaway ~ I am thinking about the BOM. It really looks cute!
Wow…I learn so much from you, Lisa! I had no idea about the signature blocks, but now I am fascinated by them! I love the more consistent postings this year…keep ‘me coming! And I still have the little Rowenta iron and Gingher scissors on my birthday wish list… My husband knows I’m worth it!
Love the new BOM. Love these snowmen. Love all the signature block quilts, the wedding one was awesome. I do hope I win this.
The snowman gatherings fabric is delisious. Love both it and the pattern for the quit,which I already have! I have been waiting to find material,maybe I should just order from you.
I love to decorate with snowmen. Could be due to all the snow we have living so far north. The new fabric line is beautiful. Congratulations.
How nice to have someone who works closely with Moda to express they ARE really wonderful.
I love your snowmen quilt-cant wait to start it. I enjoy reading your post to see what you are up to. Thanks for the chance on the giveaway-so excited
I am enjoying the posts each day and I love your new fabric. Love the snowman block of the month!
I love your new line – the colors are so restful but still gorgeous. It would be fabulous to win this giveaway. Thanks for the friendship inspiration quilts – gorgeous. Love the block you designed and I have downloaded the pattern. Hope the website gets up and going soon; I’m sure it’s a headache. Have a great day!
I love your new line Snowman Gatherings — esp the Union Blues!! Can’t wait for it and the BOM to start- keep it coming!
I always love the signature quilts that were signed by hand and then the signature was embroidered in black.
I would LOVE to win these beautiful fabrics and add them to my “collection”!!!
Love all your stuff! !!! I’ve been following you for quite some time (not in a stalking sense just your work and blog) and just want to say keep it coming! !!!!!!
Such pretty fabric 🙂
Love the new blues and creams in your new fabric line.
OOOOO, I’m drooling! I love the new BOM! Thanks for the opportunity to win these beautiful fabrics.
Snowman Gathering Fabrics are calling me. Can’t wait to get my hands on them and work with them. You sure inspire a person, especially on a cold rainy day. Keep up the GREAT WORK!
The new line is just fabulous, as *always*, Lisa. Thanks for all the great visuals & for the chance to win. (And I agrre with you: Moda is the very best.)
Would I wish to win some Snowmen Gathering….well, that is an understatement. I love it!! I think Lisa did a fabulous job quilting the one with the feather border….and fabulous may not be expressive enough. I am looking forward to seeing you at the show in Cincinnati this spring. I am bringing a friend who is a blue fanatic (like I am), and I am sure she is going to love this line…..she is just at the beginning of her quilting journey. It is such a delight to share it with her. Kristy
Your new collection is just beautiful, thanks for the giveaway!
I’m new to your blog and I love it. Thanks for all the ideas for friendship quilts. My mind is awhirl as what to do first. I love your new line, too, wintry but warm. Looking forward to more posts.
ooh, your Snowman Gatherings line has such great basic colors. I made a baby quilt once in those colors, and it took me a long time to gather the fabrics I needed – I could have used Snowman Gatherings if it had come out earlier!
I love the snowman. It goes right along with the blustery, winters day.
Snowman gathering is a great line! All of the signature quilts inspire me to get stitching!
The signature quilts are wonderful! I wish you had done this one earlier in the year when I was looking for ideas for a wedding signature quilt. I will keep these ideas in mind! Thanks for a chance in the giveaway, these Moda fabrics are so beautiful, can’t wait until they are in stores!
After wondering what colors I am going to use to piece all these great blocks in this hop, I knew the moment I saw yours what fabric I would use that I just love! I have some gorgeous teal-ish paisley fabric with several other colors slashed into it! That would look so good with a white print and black! Maybe a little red here and there! Thank you so much! I love your snowman block of the month and need to sign up for that! Love, love LOVE those snowmen!
Thanks for reposting. Love what I can see of the new line. What a lucky woman to have sooo many antique quilts!
Betty

I have always had a special fondness for snowmen. I think this bundle was specially designed to make a whole quilt full of them.

It is an adventure and I always love finding new things there. Looking forward to seeing you in Chicago again. I’m glad the Quilt Show is back. Thanks again Lisa!!!!

It’s snowing in So. Utah today, just right for your snowmen and thinking of Christmas. But your square isn’t christmasy, it is gorgeous. I love the blues and other prints. Thanks.

What an interesting blog. When I am lucky enough to find one I haven’t visited before, I spend a few hours, yes, hours reading the blog from its inception to the most current entry. Today I will spend time reading your blog. I am so lucky…maybe I’ll even win one of the giveaway prizes.
Love the block! All the blocks so far are just great. Love the idea of the blog hop.
I love your block!! And your new fabric is gorgeous!! This has been such a fun blog hop 🙂
