Another pretty quilt and a new class!

June 8, 2016July 22, 2020 70 comments

Wow_MQ Blog Button[2][1]Hi friends!

I have a quilt in this month’s McCall’s Quilting magazine. I hope you like it as much as I do!

The quilt is called Sunbleached and it just so pretty.

The fabric is by Timeless Treasures and the line is called Lily.

The quilting was done by my good friend Crystal Zagnoli and she always does an amazing job.

I just love this quilt! The border fabric was a lot of fun.

(Keep reading as there is a giveaway at the end!)

Another thing that happened recently was the magazine company asked me to tape a quilt class for their online university. So back in April, I spent 3 days with the great staff at the F&W studio in Golden and we taped a class called Creative Quilting for Home Decor.

CU-HomeDecor-600

 

And the registration is now open for the class! Use my link- click here – to go to their site, search for my class and register. The class will open on July 11th and be open for interaction with me (which means that I will answer posted questions) until August 22nd. After that you can still access the class anytime you want, but the question and answer portion will be closed.

In class we make some fun, quick projects to brighten up your home including pillows, a table runner, topper and place mats. I think my favorite is the Modern Flying Geese pillow.

So, I mentioned a giveaway right?

COVER-FULL

 

I have 2 copies of the latest McCall’s Quilting magazine to give away. Just leave a comment below to be entered for a chance to win a copy. And, as always, if you subscribe to my newsletter you can get a second chance if you leave a second comment letting me know that you subscribe.

    Such a gorgeous quilt and Lily is the perfect fabric for it! I’d like to imagine that having that quilt on my bed would make me feel like I was in a beach house…even though I live in Iowa! Dreaming is good for the soul. I’d be so happy to win a magazine copy and make my own Sunbleached quilt!

    Kate, love your sunbleached quilt. The lily line kinda reminds me of a 30s and modern look put together. Like the feel of the colors and quilt design giving it a beachy, cottage look. Thank you for this give-away opportunity. Have enjoyed reading through your blog. Such inspiration!
