Bloggers Quilt Festival

Friday, April 17th, 2009

I am happy to be a sponsor of the first ever Bloggers Quilt Festival! This online quilt festival is open to everyone and has some great prizes, including gift certificates to Wish Upon A Quilt, so make sure you enter! Quilt Dad, John, found this great festival so be sure to visit his blog to see his great virtual quilt!

I’m entering this quilt which was my most recent project. I used a brand new pattern called Jewel Box by Janice Pope of Anything But Boring. This is a great pattern using the disappearing nine-patch technique set on point. The pattern is charm pack friendly and quick! I pieced this top in just 2 hours! My fabric selection was Spring Magic by April Cornell for Moda. I love the bright cheery colors. Many of our customers have wanted to make a quilt like this one, so we do have a kit available. What is on your sewing table today?

Guys Love Quilting Too!

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

The secret is out…Guys love quilting too! I’ve been admiring John’s growth as a quilter ever since I joined Wish Upon A Quilt. He recently posted some gifts he made for Christmas presents on his blog, Quilt Dad. Check them out-they are very well done and maybe sometime when you are in the store, you will meet John in person. He is kind of shy about his work, so I was thrilled to find this today. We would love to see pictures of your holiday gifts…feel free to post them or send them to us!
