Kathy Bowen’s Words to Live By: all quilted and finished! How wonderful!! Happy Monday! LB
Market is over….now festival begins…
Just want to say HI, after a long time away…this little quilter has survived market and has lots to talk about when I get home….
Here are our quilts in the Moda booth…the small quilts worked really well on the ladder as the sales reps could easily grab them bring them over to the quilt shop owners to feel and admire how wonderful the quilting shows up on these primitive muslin flannels…they have the best feel to them…it’s hard to describe what it is but it is something different than the other flannels…
These patterns and kits will be available next month as Moda has ordered them in advance for a late November shipping. Tell your local shops about them as lots of shop owners do not attend market…. They are available on 8 yard bolts if they order all 25 colors…also they are basics so we will be designing many future projects with them…they have the look and feel of wool, but not the cost!!!
and the winner is?
I want to thank everyone for the wonderful comments…It is the coolest thing ever to be a MODA designer and get to meet tons of quilters through our LOVE of fabric. I don’t have to remind you that Moda is the best fabric company around hands down. It shows in everything they do and how they treat everyone from designers, to shop owners and then end consumers. It takes a lot creativity, effort and attention to detail to do all things MODA.
I hope while you visited my blog your subscribed so we can continue to quilt together all year long. I currently am finishing up on all the pattern writing that comes along with Lakeside Gatherings. 
Did you notice that Lakeside has homespuns also?There are 24 total light and dark homespuns. They are again just gorgeous… so soft and wonderful companions to the prints. Almost all of the antique quilts I collect have homespuns in them. Here is the homespun FQ bundle next to the print FQ’s. I know the homespun is going to be scarce as production numbers we not nearly what the prints were…so if you see it in your Local Quilt Shop grab it up…just an FYI. If you want to visit the precuts on our website you can pre-order HERE
Good Luck to you all and I hope you find your name on one of these winning posts today! And the winner of the Lakeside Gatherings bundle is….

Getting Ready to post 10th Anniversary Stitch Along Part 4…
10TH ANNIV.SAL
I am done stitching both versions for Part 4 on the SAL! Look for it to post next week…You can see a peek on the website! HERE I want to bring to your attention that we will be making square in a square units for the next round…I just happened to have this 2 1/2″ x 12 1/2″ ruler and it worked amazing for making these units…It has a center line that you line up in the corners of the square and then trim…it creates perfect 1/4″ seam allowances. The ruler is 2 1/2″ wide so you can do both edges! Go and get yourself one of these at your LQS if you don’t have it OR we have discounted the ruler for you all…reg.$14.95 for you it will be $11.95! It is a great size ruler for many other things as well…this won’t be the only thing you use it on!
If you are AUTOMATICALLY receiving the SAL and would like one to be sent with your Part 4 please let us know when placing your order for the ruler (in comment section-say…send with SAL)
If you order each time the SAL posts just add it to your order it there is a drop down box for the ruler on the Part 4… and we will get it out to you with your kit.
Part 3- kit corrections- you will be getting 2 different strips of green fabric…we are NOT putting them in the Part 4 kit. They will just be in the envelope…so make sure you look for them as well as your Part 4 kit..
If you get your SAL automatically we have already corrected or will be correcting yours with Part 4.
If you order each time the SAL posts we will also be sending the 2 green strips with your Part 4.
If for some reason you are NOT going to order Part 4 and you did order Part 3, email us and we will get the 2 strips out to you.
Again, I apologize for this and hurried to get Part 4 done so you can finish up your Part 3.
Now no more words now…Here is a 10ASAL- that this kind Quilter( please email me with your name again…I know I wrote it down somewhere)brought to Grand Rapids show to show me…Isn’t it awesome! Can’t wait to see her next rounds…
Here us Martha Mumaw’s SAL! Did you notice it is on point??
Please send your SAL photos to:
primitivegatheringsquiltshop@yahoo.com
Have a great weekend…and don’t forget to send me some photos!!! I love getting them..LB
Good News Chattanooga TN…Bad News Atlanta GA…
Just want everyone to know we will be in Chattanooga TN tomorrow for the AQS show! Bad News…We are NOT going to be in Atlanta for the Original Quilt and Sewing Expo…We are so sorry, but sometimes things happen that are out of our control…so if you are in GA- I guess you are going to have to go to Chattanooga to see us…Nick and Amy are there…Nicks says it is only 100 miles from the Atlanta show location and he wanted me to let everyone know ahead if possible…
Something you might want to pick up at the show…new packaging for wool appliqué needles…
We are going to start selling them wholesale to shops and had to change the packaging as the cards were too labor intensive…we will still sell the cards in our store but not to shops. The new packaging comes with 12 needles…6 just aren’t enough for me…tell your local shops to order them from us (primitivegatheringswholesale.com) or Moda will have them too! I don’t have them on the website yet but will soon! I promise I’ll let you know when in case you need some. If you use our #24 chenille needles and can’t live without them…comment on this post and I’ll pick the best ones and send you some! Be truthful…I want real testimonies…not like the fat loss ones.
I am home working on Fall Market, Lakeside Gathering quilts and lots of other stuff…I will be in Gwinnett GA teaching next week, so I am not at the show….I hope the GA girls are ready to have some fun!!!
I posted earlier about my hand quilting project that I was working on…I finished it up the end of August…here it is..all finished! 
You can kind of see my sewing space at the Lakehouse here…see how close I am to the water? I sew right in the middle of everything…there is no sewing room for me…I love it…I can cook..and quilt at the same time…Nick hates my mess though…I was doing a bunch of cutting and just swooshed it all on the floor, it was all kinds of dog ears and little trimmings and he was like…What’s going on here? I was like..What? but anyway…I love to hand quilt…I get up pretty early…the morning is the best time to think about things, about what I need to accomplish that day and just lose myself in the stitches and you can’t beat the view!….
I also started working on my Modern Building Blocks BOM that is starting at Primitive Gathering in October ….It is a huge adjustment from what I was stitching…Here is one of the blocks…next to…Tackle Box Mini…the Moda Love Blog quilt and the bonus project from the Pieced Block of the Week this summer… The MBB quilt is a blast…I stitched the big block…then I starting sewing and before you know it I had 4 more done! Here is a general idea of the whole quilt. If you want to sign up and stitch these with me we are doing 3 versions…Japanese, Civil War and then the original Modern version…and yes..I am stitching the modern version..just let me get it out of my system and then I will be back to normal…I seen this quilt and spring market…it was awesome! Moda had a green couch with all sizes of pillows made from these blocks on it…I wanted it!!! If someone has a picture of this…send it to me…Here is the quilt on our website if you need to stitch along with me…There are 48 blocks total and it is only $12 buck per month… Modern Building Blocks BOM
Well thats about it for now…What’s everyone stitching on?
