Giveaway Winner + Glimpse at New Pattern

Thanks for your patience and participating!

Lots of really interesting responses about quilt kits. It seems like it's a real hit and miss environment out there for them. 

Personally I have never bought a quilt kit - for many of the reasons that were mentioned. I like to pick my own fabrics too much :) That and I rarely follow a pattern exactly!

The only kit I've bought has been for a Pat Sloan mystery and I was really happy with it and love the quilt - My Happiness Key Quilt. {which I should probably take down and replace with something autumnal since we had frost this morning!}


Okay! The winner as hand picked by my husband on his way to the couch is . . .

Congrats Diane! I'm emailing you right after I post and will get this out to you soon :)

And I'm happy to introduce you to my latest pattern - Liberated Churn Dash Placemats.

The placemats come together quickly and offer a different way to make the liberated churns than in my quilt pattern. I used a set of fat eighths by Denyse Schmidt and one of Pat Sloan's off-white background fabrics from Sweet Life. On this one I even tried quilting a curve - without marking it! Take about liberated!!

The pattern is just waiting for me to edit and add all the step by step process photos so it's easy for you to follow along. I'll let you know when it's ready to purchase :)


Thanks for being here today. I hope you enjoy the change of season as much as I do. 
It's like taking a deep breath and getting another chance to appreciate things in your life - and one of them for me is you!


With Joy,

Sarah V.
