Cover Girl – always a thrill!

November 9, 2016July 22, 2020 45 comments

Something fun for today- look at the cover of the latest McCall’s Quilting magazine!

And yes, it is my quilt on the cover! The quilt is called Winter Sunset and I made it using some really lovely fabrics from the True Colors fabric line by Free Spirit.

Of course, my good friend Crystal Zagnoli of The Quilted Cricket did the quilting.

Would you like to win a copy of the magazine? I have 1 to give away- leave a comment below to be entered into the giveaway. Newsletter subscribers get a second entry when they leave a second comment.

And, if you want to see the quilt in person, I am speaking tomorrow night, Thursday Nov 10th, at the Arapahoe County Quilters guild. And I am bringing the quilt with me.  And I will have another magazine to giveaway!

Giveaway on the blog ends Sunday night Nov 13th at 9pm my time.

Next week will start the Quiltmaker’s 100 Block’s vol 14 Blog Tour! More goodies, more blocks and lots of inspiration!

100 Blocks blog tour

 

My day on the tour will be Thursday Nov 17th when you can see my block. Of course, my block is on the cover so…. you get a sneak peek!

happy quilting,

Kate
