Its a Quilt-Along!!

Have you seen this quilt?? Its the finished design of the Quilt Along by Michele Foster at Quilting Gallery. Doesn't it look like fun??? I have always been drawn to quilts that have different sized blocks; I just think it makes them so interesting.

Not only am I going to join in on this Quilt-Along, I have also donated a prize. More on that in a bit.

I love Cherrywood Fabrics (who doesn't???) so I intend to use them on this project. I had originally planned to pull from my stash, but where's the fun in that? *grin* Instead, I'm using a combo of the Cherrywood I already own along with these colors:

My background:

My main colors for the blocks:

And a few Cherrywoods from my stash to add a little "pop." Unfortunately, the photo makes them look dull--trust me, they're not!

When Michele asked for prizes to be donated, I decided to donate my quilting. It was only a tiny step from donating my quilting to wanting my own quilt to quilt. So, if you win the prize I donated, you can have a free edge-to-edge pattern on this Aiming For Accuracy quilt or, if you love it as much as I think I'm going to love mine, you can have custom quilting for 50% off.

The actual instruction begins tomorrow, so there's still time to join in the fun. If you do participate, let me know. I'd love to see the colors you choose. There will also be an additional prize for my followers that join in.  Come on now...you know you want to!!

Henry Glass Very Merry Holiday Party

Did you guys know about this??  I love Henry Glass fabrics and found out about the Holiday Party on Face Book, thanks to Kim Diehl.

  

They do a blog hop every year, which was kicked off yesterday (as usual, I'm a day late!). You go to the designated blogs where you'll find info about the person writing the blog as well as a tute on a fun project. Yesterday was Linda Lum DeBono with an adorable little wallet you can make. It looks so easy, and her directions are very thorough. And if you like chocolate, she has a recipe in this post for kettle corn with white chocolate and peppermint! YUMMMMMM!!!

I won't give away today's, but go here to start your blog hop.  Have fun!!! And don't forget to try to guess the designers pictured on the Henry Glass Blog for some terrific prizes.

Happy Hopping!!
