My sisters and I are honored to have a block chosen to be in Quiltmaker's100 Blocks vol. #5.
Is this not the cutest pin and mug? Yes it is!
This block was designed by our sister Mary Andra. She does all the hand applique' and as you can see loves pink and green. She tried using blue (I don't think so) but pink won out as usual. Mary Andra will be adding blocks in the future and we will keep you posted when that is completed. You will find her block on page 27, block #407 Ray of Sunshine. Fabric by Moda is Sunkissed designed by Sweetwater.
Now for the prize's. Quiltmaker will be giving away a copy of 100 Blocks magazine. There are four sisters who own Sisters' Quilting Trunk so we will give away four gifts. That's 5 chances to win a prize just by leaving a comment on our blog. We also have a copy of 100 Blocks to give away. It will be given to the first number drawn for one of the prizes below.
Henry Glass -Heirloom Romance by Crabapple Hill
No Place Like Home

Moda - Quilt Pink
Good luck everyone and thank you for visiting our blog. Winners will be drawn Monday May 7, 2012
Wishing you a great day, Mary Andra, Cheryl Ann, Candee and Andee.

DeleteOMGosh!!!! I just passed out from awesomeness overload.
ReplyDeleteThank you Binks. We love quilting and the friends we have made along the way.
DeleteSuch a pretty block! I love applique on a patterned background!
ReplyDeleteThank you Hiyacinth. I love patterned backgrounds as long as it does not overpower the quilt. Adds interest,
DeleteThe block is gorgeous and your prizes are so generous! Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteThank you Lisa Marie. We love fabric and we enjoy the sharing part of quilting.
DeleteAwesome prizes! Thank you for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteThank you Robyn. We love sharing!
Delete4 sisters who quilt! Wow! I am the only one of the sisters in my family who quilt...one refuses and the other gets hives when she considers touching a needle and thread.

Too funny. There is actually 5 sisters but one doesn't even do buttons. We all do different parts of the quilting process. I do the hand applique', hand embroidery and design. Andee does all the longarm quilting. Candee does most of the piecing. Cheryl Ann is the pattern writer, designer, and our artwork. None of this was planned. It was just what we were doing before we went into business. We sure are having fun.
DeleteI have to go with Mary Andra on the addiction to pink:) gosh, that pink fabric stack is just awesome!
ReplyDeletecongrats on having a block in this fab magazine, fingers crossed like mad- I'd love a copy!

DeleteWhat a great giveaway! It would be wonderful to have a sister who likes to quilt. Mine doesn't and she always wants to know what I am going to do with so many quilts!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ruth. Our problem is when we design a quilt we all want it. We started making one for each of us. That ended real quick. LOL
DeleteHoly moly, you are so generous - thank you for that and for the block. Love applique'.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dee. We love fabric and love to share.
DeleteWow, this is the best giveaway yet! Lots of fabric to try out the blocks in the new issue. I love applique and can't wait to try your block.

DeleteWhat a pretty block! I love it made up in 'Sunkissed' - one of my favourite lines!

ReplyDeleteThose are some great prizes. I would be happy with any of them.

ReplyDeleteThank you Desert Threads. I plan on using a pieced block I already have in mind. Will be posting it on the blog as soon as it is finished. If you do one we would love to see it.

ReplyDeleteThank you Dana. I love new pink friends.
Deletelove this block - I've just recently got into applique - and your giveaways are extremely generous - thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you Suz. I hope you love the applique' process. It is rewarding.
DeleteI love pink and green, it was my Mom's favorite too. The first quilt I made was when I was 16, it was made out of cheap cottons and muslin. My mother quilted it on her Singer while I was in school. It now graces my bed all spring long, almost as good as snuggling with my Mom. Sure miss you "Ms. Millie" thank you so much for all the wonderful chances to win, who doesn't want to win fabric. I know which bundle I love the most, uhmmm all of them! Thank You
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeanne. Our Mom's favorite was blue. She made her first and only, finished,quilt at age 71. The funny thing is, the sister who has it is the one who doesn't quilt.
DeleteCongratulations on having your block in Vol. 5!!! Your block would look wonderful in blue and yellow!
ReplyDeleteThank you Becky. We love blue and yellow. We would love to see one of your blocks.
DeleteWow a fantastic block design. Congratulations for being selected by the magazine! Thanks for your generous giveaway offer.
ReplyDeleteThank you Gina. Our give-a-way is one of the best part of being included in this magazine.
DeleteGreat block. I really enjoy needle turn applique so am glad to see another applique block in the magazine.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kathy. We also wish we could get more intermediate/advanced applique' patterns to be accepted in quilt magazines. There seems to be a flurry for wonderful but fast quilts. You can't believe how excited we were to have this block accepted. Congrats to Quiltmaker for doing so as evident by responses here.
DeleteGreat block! I am enjoying the blog tour! blaukat@hickorytech.net
ReplyDeleteThank you Cathy. We are also enjoying the tour.

ReplyDeleteThank you Aggiequilter.
DeleteWow - what wonderful prizes - thanks for the chance to win! I really like your block, but have not tried much applique myself (need to do more!!). Congratulations on being included in 100 Blocks.
ReplyDeleteThank you B Greene. Once you try applique' you find out real quick if you love it or not. It is not for everyone. As you see only one in four of us do hand applique'.
DeleteI love applique and pink and green! How do you get all the seperate pieces to line up?
ReplyDeleteHow do I leave my email info? I don't know any of the profiles to select.
Thank you Anonymous. It is easy to line up all the pieces and I will have instructions on how to within a few days on the blog.

DeleteRay of Sunshine is really a bit different and pretty. I love the background you used, too. The design makes me want to look at the block to appreciate it. Thanks for all of the chances to win those great things.
ReplyDeleteThank you Joanna. I have to admit I like it when someone has to look close at my quilts to actually see what is included in the design.
DeleteAdorable block! I wonder if Accuquilt will make a GO! die for that design. It's clever! And wonderful prizes. It must be fun to work with sisters. I don't have any. Have a super day.
ReplyDeleteThank you Teachpany. A great idea I will share with Accuquilt. Yes, it is fun to work with sisters. Well at least I think so LOL Just kidding, We really are having a ball and know how blessed we are to have each other.
DeleteCongratulations on being published in QM 100 Blocks v5. Your giveaway prizes are awesome. Ray of sunshine also reminds me of seahorses - love the green stripe from Sunkissed.
ReplyDeleteThank you Marcia. Never thought of Seahorses but now that you brought it to my attention, it does. I have horses and we use to live by the water so..... How on earth did I get to this point LOL Wishing you a great day.
