Happy November! Just popping in quickly to say thank you for all the sweet comments on my new quilt pattern, Sparkle, and also on my little Bikini quilt in the Bloggers’ Quilt Festival. I have not been organized enough lately to answer individual comments, but I do read and appreciate each one.
I can’t believe my Bikini quilt was nominated for viewers’ choice in the quilt festival over at Amy’s Creative Side. I’ve never really had success with my quilts in competitions and stuff, so that is pretty flattering… You can vote this week for you favorites (including viewers’ choice), Here.
This coming week I am taking a little breather and going to Sewtopia in Portland, Oregon. I cannot wait for a little vacation, and especially sewing time, which has been in short supply recently.
To celebrate, let’s share the fun with a giveaway! Pictured above are four fat quarters in a yellow, kitty cat theme, along with a copy of my Jumping Jacks pattern. To enter, leave a comment on this post and I will choose a winner when I get home next Sunday. In your comment tell me one quilt pattern that is on your t0-do list. I know we all have many, but choose one you really hope to make soon.
Have a great week!
Sharon
edit: this giveaway is now closed, thanks for all your sweet comments. The winner is Noell!
I have a few quilts on my Wish List and they won’t be happening yet because I have to start thinking about making a quilt for my son’s girlfriend who will be graduating in the spring!!

I still have yet to make a Swoon quilt! Happy sewing at Sewtopia!
On my list of to do soon is Bikini!! I already have the pattern from you and I also got the solids FQ pack that you had at __________ quilt store (I forgot the name!)and I also got a bunch of the dot prints, so as soon as I finish the gift for my hubby’s birthday (Nov 10th: it’s coming up fast!!) I plan on at least starting and making a few blocks of Bikini. It is such a fabulous quilt!!!! You deserve to be nominated for viewers choice!!! Have fun sewing next week!!! Hugs, H in Healdsburg
One is Stitched in Color’s Rose Chai Ikat quilt. Love that one. Thanks for the giveaway!
The next one on my list is to make a big Hexie quilt from the Quiltmaker’s magazine:) I have bags of kits I have made up and need to get a few done!
I hope to do a postage stamp quilt using 2.5 inch squares I have been collecting for ages. Going to get to it soon!
I love both your entries in the bloggers quilt festival. That kitty fabric is so cute! Thanks for the giveaway. ????
Oh love the prints. I want to make the hedgehog one sooner rather than later.
I absolutely love your pattern, and the fabric is adorable too. cdahlgren at live dot com
I want to make a Pinwheel Quilt. I love the kitty fabric. Have a great day!
Enjoy Sewtopia! Thanks for the chance to win.
I would like to make a grandmothers garden quilt.
So many quilt ideas, so little time. the next quilt in line is a picture quilt – a little lamb with floppy ears set in a field of green pieced work (grass) and blue piece work sky.
I would love to challenge myself with your twirling fans quilt sometime next year. I am finishing up with the sashing on your 2015 block buster Tula Pink quilt. That was so much fun doing all the different blocks.
Cute pattern & fabric! I really want to make a lonestar quilt soon. 🙂
Love the pattern. Thanks so much for sharing. I would love to give them a new home…
I am making a quilt similar to one made by Bonnie Hunter where she used her leaders/enders. Basically it’s a rectangle with HS triangles sewn on the corners. Hers was scraps. My friendship group saw a similar quilt made with reproduction fabrics.so we did an exchange of strips. I prefer a brighter palette so I added a few brighter colors to the mix. I want to make the quilt for my sister who will be 80 later this month. Unfortunately it won’t be done by then. I think one of the names given to this quilt is Church Windows.
I love your quilts !
I must make the Broken V…I have some of the same fabrics!
Thank you.
Hope you enjoy your trip to Sewtopia! Everyone needs a getaway now and then. I am a self professed cat lady, and love this little set of fat quarters. As for Jumping Jacks, well, I love all your patterns, so the big question is, which one first?!
I have a pattern called “The Gathering” from Border Creek Station that is calling to me. First, though, I must finish my WiPs. Thanks for the giveaway.
I usually don’t do much applique but fell in love with Noel by Vintage Spool and so wanting to start it as a gift for my niece next year. She is a Christmas crazy and loves vintage so it’s a perfect fit. Thanks for the giveaway and I’m loving the cat fabric and your Jumping Jacks pattern.
Polka Dot Garden for me, I love your patterns.
Green Tea and sweet beans by Jenny Kingswell is on my list. I’ve collected fabrics for it over these last months and hope to start next year! Yay!
I would love to make one of Judy’s Quilts, like the Mariner’s Compass.
Hello from Minnesota! Love your kitty fabric picks.???? I’m hoping to make the Fancy Fox pattern by Elizabeth Hartman next.
I have several quilts on my to do list but one pressing one is the Mega Zebra Mania by Tartinkiwipatterns.
My list is long (I won’t live long enough to finish them all) but the next one I want to try is Bleachers by Empty Bobbin Sewing Studio.
This is a beauty of a pattern, thank you for the opportunity to win it! The East Coast gal in me has been wanting to do Tula Pinks Anchors Away quilt for quite a while now, maybe this winter I’ll actually make it!
Piece of Cake 3, because it is simple and will show off prints.

I’ve purchased the ruler to make a Hunter’s Star, and want to make a red and white one for my husband.
I have so many patterns waiting patiently ….but the next one will be a pinwheel quilt for my grandchild!
I really want to do a solid color quilt with the city map of Philadelphia quilted onto it. I saw one on pinterest for a different city that was really sweet =)
