What is the name of this mystery block|?|

| 10 Comments

Good day everyone. Here on my blog and also on the Quilting for Kids Facebook page, we are running a new contest, and it’s a little different this time.

Here is a photo of a quilt block. It’s old – likely stitched in the 1930’s. As a contest entry, we are looking for the name of this mystery block.

You can enter below this blog post in the comments. Or you can head over to Quilting for Kids on Facebook (click the link above) and enter there. This contest is only open until this Friday – July 9th. So enter today!

An answer will be chosen at random from all the correct answers and the winner will receive this prize:

 

Best of luck everyone.

The Appeal of Quilt Retreat

| 4 Comments

Good day everyone. Hope you’re doing well.

The Autumn 2020 issue of Quilter’s World magazine is out in print. I love working for Quilter’s World; they approve my idea and then let me run with it. That’s truly the best way to work!

My piece is entitled, The Abiding Appeal of the Quilt Retreat and begins on page 66 of this issue. As with all my writing, I’m so very fortunate to engage with some wonderful people. For this article, thanks go to the following ladies: Angela McPherson, Vivian Sergeew, Donna Bonn and Alvina Saliken, (of Sweet Pea Quilting in Parksville, B.C.) all of whom were kind enough to spend some time with me…answering my questions and providing me with some of their lovely photos.

You can pick up an issue at your local quilt shop or grocery store or Chapters. Alternatively, you can purchase an issue online here.

Thanks again to four special ladies who helped me make this article happen. I’m very appreciative and grateful for your kind assistance.
