I'm thrilled to announce that my most recent design, Strolling Pathways, is included in newest book from Martingale Publishing and Moda Bake Shop titled Charmed-A Dozen Delightful Charm Pack Quilts. The book release date is October 3rd but can be preordered now from @martingaletpp or from Amazon. You can also check to see if your local independent quilt shop will order it for you. My quilt features the gorgeous Slow Stroll fabric line by Fancy That Design House.

The pattern uses 3 charm packs (you can also use scrappy charms) and 4 yards of a background fabric. I loved creating this new design and can't wait to see your version. It's simple and comes together quickly so pull out a stack of your favorite charm packs and preorder your copy of the book so that you can get started as soon as it arrives.

The Giveaway is closed. Congratulations Needled Mom!  I'll be contacting you shortly.

The copies of the new book Did Someone Say Cake? arrived so it's time for a giveaway to celebrate.  I'm giving away one autographed copy.

It's a beautiful, bright quilt that finished at 72 1/2" x 80 1/2" which is perfect for snuggling up under during the wet and chilly days of late winter and early spring.  It was a overcast, damp day when I took this picture, so here's a picture from the book to show that it's much brighter in real life.

Today I'm sharing a little sneak peak of the quilt I made for the upcoming book "Did Someone Say Cake?" being released next month and available at Shop Martingale.

These are the gorgeous fabrics I used. The batik colors are so rich and vibrant and the prints are the perfect scale, in my opinion.

Here's the last sneak peak I can share until the book is released.  I know, it's a little bit of torture to not show you more, but this will have to suffice until next month when I can share more.

As you can guess, I can't wait to get this book in my hands.  I would guess that there will be a few or more projects created by the other designers that I will want to make too.
