Maple Leaves Falling On the Table Featured in October Issue of The Quilt Pattern Magazine
Oh how FUN it is to see one of my original designs and patterns in the October 2014 issue of The Quilt Pattern Magazine! I rarely remember to write down the months that my designs will be featured, so it’s always a lovely surprise when I download a copy of The Quilt Pattern Magazine each month!
The October 2014 issue features the perfect fall table topper, which can be easily and quickly put together (including domestic machine quilting in a cross-hatch pattern and binding) in around six hours for an advanced quilter and a great weekend quilt project for a beginner who is comfortable sewing half-square triangles. And it is all made with fabric scraps from my stash!
The name of this table topper is quite fitting, too – “Maple Leaves Falling On the Table“:
You are sure to enjoy everything in each issue of The Quilt Pattern Magazine, but for the October issue – look for ME! 🙂
Hip Hip Hooray! Let’s Have an Aurifil Thread Giveaway!
I just love me some giveaways! Especially from a company who has my undying devotion to their thread. I’m not worthy! I’m not worthy! Okay, maybe I am…just a little. 🙂
Not only does Aurifil threads sponsor my yearly block of the month quilts at BOMquilts.com, but they also end up sponsoring a number of my other projects with the leftover thread from my BOM quilts. And on top of all that, they sent me prizes to give away! How lucky can a quilter and her quilty friends get?!?
As you can see, I’m a bit of a brand snob:
I am offering ONE Aurifil five thread sampler package to FIVE lucky winners. Here are the rules:
- You must “Like” BOMquilts’ Facebook page (if you’ve already liked us, thank you!).
- You must sign up for the BOMquilts.com’s monthly eNewsletter (again, if you are already a subscriber, thank you!).
- You need to submit ONE (1) photo to me of either a block or a quilt made from an original BOMquilts.com pattern (found on our homepage), that we can use on the BOMquilts.com’s website and Facebook page to show off your work and the fun I have designing patterns for YOU. I will only use your first name, when showcasing your photo. Please send your photos to me at info@bomquilts.com.
- This giveaway ends on October 20, 2014 at 12 midnight, CST. Winners will be chosen and notified on or before October 26, 2014. Only one photo entry, per person, is necessary but feel free to send as many as you want!
And here’s the wonderful Aurifil thread sampler pack you could win:
Good luck and may the best BOMquilts.com quilters win!
Flashback Tuesday: Chocolate Cake and Roses 2013 Six-Month BOM Quilt Exclusively Designed by BOMquilts.com
It hasn’t been but a year since this quilt was published at BOMquilts.com but it is truly a stunning lap quilt and is worth repeating. It goes together very quickly, even though there are nine different blocks – each block is designed based on the center block – known as the Chocolate Cake block. And what’s more romantic than chocolate and roses?
Chocolate Cake and Roses 2013 Six-Month BOM Quilt Exclusively Designed by BOMquilts.com
I gifted this to a very special couple as they needed just a bit more chocolate and roses (and romance) in their lives. I think many of us could use a quilt to remind us that romance needs to be an integral part of our lives – with whomever you choose as your partner!
