Our birthday is soon and we’re celebrating with a Blog Hop Party and you’re invited!

Since I can’t enter my own Weekly Quilt Contests, I’m always thrilled when I have a quilt to enter in one of SewCalGal’s contests.

Our friends over at Generation Q Magazine have invited me to participate in their Oh Thank Cuteness! fun. Join me in my first blog hop appearance.

I’m giving away four Mystery Quilt patterns for tonight’s Back To School Twitter Party. You don’t have to participate in the Twitter chat to enter.

Please join me in welcoming today’s guest blogger, Heather Spence. In an effort to raise funds for her mom’s stem cell transplant surgery, Heather will be hosting a Mystery Quilt By Email in early October. Please, if you can help, support Heather (and her mom) in this initiative.

I’m so excited to announce the upcoming Celebrate Christmas Quilt-Along and Super Deals for Quilters campaign. A 12-week event, starting September 13th. We’ll have 36 fabulous designers sharing a 12″ block.

It’s my turn on the Fruitful Hands blog tour. Check out the gorgeous projects and yummy recipes in Jacquelynne Steves new book. Also enter for a chance to win a copy for yourself or an Aurifil thread pack and Lapel glue stick sample.

Join Pat Sloan and the other designers from the Aurifil Blog Hop as they put together the blocks we designed into the final quilt. Enter for your chance to win a box of Pat’s 40wt thread too.

The overwhelming need to feed needy children inspired to sponsor the "Food for Body and Soul Touring Quilts Contest and Exhibits".

Marie Bostwick, one of my most favourite authors, has just released her fourth book in the Cobbled Court Quilt Circle series entitled Threading the Needle. Enter the give-away for your chance to win a copy.

Attending Spring Market this week? Meet up with fellow quilters at a few events coming up in Salt Lake City, Utah, or get the latest Quilt Market news from fellow bloggers.

Reading, history and quilts … my perfect pastimes all rolled into one. I’m currently reading book one of Linda Hubalek’s Trail of Thread series, and enjoying it immensely.
