Another new book!!! Shipping March 1st…

img_5331

Another great book from Lissa Alexander to add to your All-Star collaboration book collection…Lissa, along with a bunch of Moda designers…made quilts made from 5″ charm pack(s)…We could use 1-3 charm packs…I picked one…but I made two quilts…one for you and one for your best friend!  Now if you are doing Triangle Gatherings this is a piece of cake!!! Right?  These blocks are made using one light and one dark 5″ charm square.  I made 18 blocks for the two quilts…The blocks are 3″ and use 3/4″ charm papers…so you might already have them!!!  I have been saving the fabrics from Songbird Gatherings just for this project!!! We only have one bolt that I squirreled away of those fantastic reds from Songbird Gatherings….or if you bought a charm pack of Songbird Gatherings you only need a background and a piece of wool for the hearts…

Get your book HERE!   The FOREVER FRIENDS  kits are available HERE too with a bunch of  dropdown options…..

Here is my quilt(s) in the book…I thought about how nice it is to get a quilt from one of your quilting buddies…the mini quilts are soooooo stinkin cute…which is why they are so hard to give-away…so why not make one for you as well as your favorite quilting buddy…you know…the one who supports your habit…the one who says…”Yes…get that kit…you know you’ll be sorry if you don’t!!!”… Not the one that says…what do you need that for???…I hear it all in the booth at quilting shows…so make sure your not THAT quilting friend…lol…

Lisa Bongean-Forever Friends

Didn’t Martingale do an awesome job of styling these quilts?…So pretty…

Now there are lots of other beauties in this book too, 1Here some of my favorites…can you guess the designers?  img_5332img_5335img_5333img_5334

Teaching in Utah this summer!!!

I am getting ready to leave for Hampton VA early next week and can’t wait to have a bunch of fun in my classes and while I was thinking about this…it occurred  to me I didn’t post this flyer promoting my friend Joyce’s big retreat in St.George UT this summer…

You know I like to give you a heads up on what is coming and when we can finally hang out or hang out again if we have already!!!  This retreat will be tons of fun with a variety of teachers and some things being taught that go along with our quilting/stitching!

So call Joyce and come have some fun!!! You deserve it!
