Always looking for new ways to
use up her scrap pile, Tara
Sniedze aka Tazzie was inspiredby my Zig-Zag Nine Patch to make her
own! She asked me if she could submit it for publication. Australian
Patchwork and Quilting gave us a great link and a huge plug! Way to go
Tara! Issue: Aug, 2007, page 88.

Quiltville also was mentioned in
a very fun article by Holly Holderman in McCall's Quilting! Holly lists
her favorite blogs and their web addresses, and I made the cut! Thanks
Holly! Issue: Feb 2008 page 56.

To my
valued customers:
Due
to my recent move, and a backlog of quilts that has been pushed forward
because of the delay in my schedule from the move, I am currently
taking a hiatus from scheduling any new quilting appointments. I
need
to finish what I've got going so I can start with a clean slate!
I
also have a book being published this year and I'm pushing to get it
finished and to the publisher on time. That, plus a very busy
traveling schedule for giving lectures and trunkshows and teaching
workshops for guilds all over the country....I almost don't have time
to think straight! I hope to get back to machine quilting for the
public in the near future. I just need a "time out" until my
world
settles down! Thanks for the priviledge of quilting for you over the
past 13 years, and I hope you'll keep me in mind for the future when
things are back to "normal"....whatever and whenever THAT is! :cD

Each year my husband Dave participates in cycling events to raise money
for MS, Diabetes, or cancer research. Since moving to North
Carolina a couple months ago, he has accepted the challenge
of participating in "24 Hours of Booty". 24 Hours of
Booty conducts annual 24 hour cycling events , which increase public
awareness for cancer support and programs while raising funds to
support the LANCE ARMSTRONG FOUNDATION and local cancer organizations.
I am asking you to help by supporting our fundraising efforts with a
donation. Your tax deductible gift will make a real difference in
the cancer community. It is faster and easier than ever to
support us as a 24 Hours of Booth participant- you can make your
donation online by simply clicking
this link!

Gene, Dave, Stephanie & Will a successful ride in 2008!

Need those Rulers & Gadgets?
Many
of my designs use specialty rulers in their construction! I have
partnered with Amazon to make shopping for these rulers and other
favorite quilting necessities easy for you! You will see the Quilting
Bear and link in
the menu side bar of the pattern pages and on my index page here. If a
pattern requires a special ruler or gadget, you simply have to
click the link to be taken to my amazon store for quick purchase,
usually at a discounted price with speedy shipping options! Running
this little amazon store will help me cover the expenses of keeping
this website up and running for your quilting pleasure. I hope you will
support me by clicking through my amazon link to get the supplies you
need!
Look
for the Quilting Bear and start
shopping!

Quiltville's Newest Free Pattern!
Out
On A String!
(Block
size 10
1/4" Finished size:
approx 52" X52")
Do
you love string piecing? Do you
have a bin of random sized small scraps that you just can't bear
to
part with? These little pieced diamonds may be just the ticket for
you! I foundation pieced these little gems onto diamond shapes
cut from recycled phone book pages. I also used the old fashioned
tried and true method of using inset Y seams to sew this block
together. I know there are "easier" methods out there, but I just
didn't want additional seams in my block corners or in the side triangles.
Sometimes a bit of extra effort is worth it!
These block
instructions will teach YOU to sew those Y seams
too! Pattern
available here!
**Special Note!!**
You
are welcome to make quilts from these patterns for yourself, your
family, friends, guild fundraisers and raffles, and most of all,
charities! You may make quilts from these patterns to sell for a profit
(No mass production though) or to teach
a class*.
But
please, no
photocopying, or reproducing and packaging and marketing the pattern instructions with the intent to
make a profit by selling them.
Just
because they are free here for your use, doesn't make it legal to use
them in that way.
When in doubt, email me and ask. Be kind and keep
the creative spirit of quilting alive and give credit where credit is
due.
*If
you are teaching any of these
designs as a class, In lieu of having to purchase a pattern, I would
love for each of your students to make me a block of whatever quilt you
are teaching to be used in charity quilts! They may also include a 4.5"
signature square to be included in the back of the quilts. Together we
can make a difference!
If
you are
hosting a swap of blocks from Quiltville, would everyone consider
making one extra block and sending them to me with a siggie square? I'd
love to know who you are!
(That
goes for
any of you who find this site valuable as a quilter! Feel free to
make an extra block of whatever you are making! I'll be sure they are
made into quilts and given to those in need, No time to make a block?
An FQ will do! :c)
This
is just a
suggestion, not mandatory!)
Most of all...HAVE FUN and enjoy the Quilting Journey!
 Questions
or Comments? I would love to hear from you!!
