Blogging buddy Sheila of Sew Cook and Travel (link) emailed me to let me know about Quiltmaker's Parade of Homes issue and a connected give-away by Quilty Pleasures: Quiltmaker's blog (link). Seems there was a paper-pieced house pattern up for grabs! You just know I had to check it out... and found the cutest house block made by Kimberly Jolly of The Fat Quarter Shop (link)!

Reading through the post about the house block, I found there was a give-away and, because the question asked was right up my alley... I commented on where I buy quilting fabric: brick-and-mortar shops or online shops?
Well, guess what?
I won the house block Kimberly Jolly made (my favorite!) AND a copy of Quiltmaker magazine (September/October issue) containing the house block pattern!

I would have been happy just to win the pattern but I got my favorite house block in the Parade of homes! *doing the happy dance*
Not to mention I also received the magazine, which included the house block pattern! *more happy dancing*

I'm not sure what I will do with the house block... I'm thinking either an appearance on the backing of my tiny house quilt... OR a pillow cover. Will have to think on that for a while.... In the meantime, thanks again for the head's up, Sheila!!!
Congrats on your win! Maybe that could be the Governor's mansion in your house block community. It is a large enough gathering to be a state now, isn't it? : )
ReplyDeleteLol....you are either on a roll or have been given a special mission to build neighborhoods! I like Janet's idea. But I am sure you will find the perfect project or spot of this block. Now you need a couple more trees ;-)
ReplyDeleteWay to go Freda! What a great win. This block is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteWow. That's a coincidence, isn't it? Congratulations on your win! :o)
ReplyDeleteOh my! You are most welcome, girlfriend! What a sweet post. And Congratulations! I'm glad you won.
ReplyDeleteWhen I didn't win a copy of the magazine, I went out and bought a copy. You know how I enjoy admiring house blocks. Making them too. By the way, I'm thoroughly enjoying all your TREE blocks. They are so sweet.
Congratulations - great win.
