Hi friends- welcome to September!
How are you all doing? Any plans for the upcoming last official weekend of summer?
I don’t have anything planned; I think I need to work on that!
But, I have a lot of fun stuff planned for September.
First some news.
Elizabeth has decided to “retire” from Seams Like a Dream. I think she is ready to spend time working on personal projects and less time shipping!
I am going to miss her; we have been partners for a long time. But I wish her well and hope to take on the shipping part without missing a beat.
Good luck Elizabeth! Enjoy!
Next, it is time for another magazine giveaway. This month’s McCalls Quick Quilts has one of my quilts in it. It also is on the cover- see it at the bottom of the quilt stack?
Back when I was thinking about the issue, knowing it would be fall, I thought I should do another fall quilt. I have always liked Sandy Gervais’ fabrics- and Alyssa loves pomegranates, so I thought what can I do to combine them?
This is the result. It is simply called Pomegranates and it is a fun mix of pieced blocks and appliqué.
And at a generous 84″ x 88″, the quilt is big enough for a full size bed or to cuddle up with a friend on a cool fall afternoon!
I have 2 magazines to giveaway; there are a lot of fun projects in this issue. Would you like a chance to win a copy?
Great! Leave a comment on this post and I will draw 2 names. The contest will close on Monday, September 7th at 9pm. Giveaway is now closed. Thank you to all who entered!
happy quilting,
Kate

Congratulations on being a cover girl!
Pomegranates are a great classic. I’ve a quilt on the design wall right now using them! Thanks for the fun!
I like this mag. Thanks for a chance to win.
Kate, let’s see if lightning will strike twice. I have enjoyed looking through the Sept/Oct issue I won. I have already purchased material to make Kathy Flowers’ Strawberries and Cream pattern and will eventually make your Autumn color quilt, too. I also like your pomegranate design. That triple border frames the pieced and appliqued center nicely.
Would be great to win and see what I can do. Thanks for the chance.
Such a pretty quilt!
Congratulations on the cover quilt – love the colors and the name. I’ve been subscribed to McCall’s Quilting mag for many years but haven’t tried Quick Quilts – would love a chance to win – thanks!
Beautiful quilt! I’m just learning to make quilt tops so “Quick” style quilts are the only ones I am brave enough to try! Would love to win one of the magazines. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Love the Quilt! & Yes!!! would love to win the magazine too! Thanks for the chance! 🙂
I just found your blog & LOVE it! Would enjoy another quilting magazine.
Congratulations Cover Girl!! My quilt guild is called “Love Apple Quilters” and the pomegranate is our love apple! This is perfect for me! Thanks for the chance to win 🙂

Congratulations! Your quilt looks beautiful! Thanks for the chance to win a copy of the magazine.
Congratulations! Please enter me for the draw.
Hi – I just discovered this blog and I like your quilts, and their designs. They aren’t same-old-same-old, but have snap and interest, with a comfort level that grabs me. Sooo, it looks like I’ll just have to “invest” in a book or pattern or two. Your new book “Smash Your Pre-Cuts” looks really inviting, because of the large size of the quilts, that means we really can make a dent in our stashes! Nice work!
I like your patterns! Hoping to win the magazine so I can make Pomegranates!
I love the cover quilt. I have a lot of scrap pieces that I think would be great in that design. Hope I win a magazine otherwise I will have to buy one.
What a lovely quilt! Congrats and thank you for the chance!
Congratulations. Must be exciting. I haven’t seen the magazine yet but I would love to have a copy.
LOVE love love that Perfectly Seasoned fabric by MODA!
What a beautiful quilt pattern! I love the colors of fall and the way you have pieced Pomegranate.
What a gorgeous quilt. Thanks for the giveaway xx
I absolutely love this magazine. You must be excited to have your quilt on the cover. Congratulations.
McCall’s Quick Quilts magazine is my favorite! I usually find at least 3 or 4 projects I’d like to make in each issue. Your quilt shouldn’t be so hidden on the bottom…it’s gorgeous! I’d be so happy to have my own copy of this issue! Thanks!
Congratulations on your quilt — it’s beautiful!
Love the quilt and it would be great to win?
