My copy of
Modern Blocks - 99 Quilt Blocks from your Favorite Designers is here! So many interesting blocks. Pieced, appliqued, foundations pieces - there is something for everyone.
I have two blocks in there - Higgledy Piggledy
and Stuck in the Middle.
I have one copy to giveaway (I am sorry but it is for Australians only as the postage costs for a book this heavy are completely ridiculous). You don't have to do anything tricky, just leave a comment by Tuesday 29th November 6pm telling me what you are sewing at the moment.
great book, love your block Kate, im sewing clothes at the moment so sick of not being able to find what i want at the shops! fi xx
ReplyDeleteWell done on being a published star Miss Kate. The book looks great so I'd love to win a copy.
ReplyDeleteSew well,
Ab :-)
Oooh very cool, congrats on being published in it TWICE!! :) And thanks for giving us Aussies a chance to win a copy!
ReplyDeleteAt the moment I am making a quilt top from a Sophie jelly roll and Kona charcoal for my daughter, then I am about to start on a skull quilt for my son once the fabric for it arrives :)
Wow this looks like a great book!! I would love a copy :) At the moment I am sewing a little cot quilt for our little girl who is due in February!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! It looks like a lovely book. Right now I'm finishing off a hand quilted dolls quilt, and should be quilting a machine quilted big quilt.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on having two blocks published. Fantastic! I'm working on a few pillows at the moment... but need to make a start on my Christmas presents soon. Ahh!
ReplyDeleteOhh! Pretty blocks! I like the modern take on them there, very nice.
ReplyDeleteI'm currently making myself a dress (I've very nervous at making clothing) out of my new Stylish Dress Book. It's Japanese (translated thankfully).
I'm shortly about to start a dress for my daughter (Kids stuff is so much easier to fit!)
The book and projects look great! I am quickly sewing summer clothes before it gets hot. We are mostly staying home unti I finish, lol.
ReplyDeleteOh count me in please!
ReplyDeleteAt the moment I am putting together a quilt for a new baby niece. Nothing very fancy though, just charms packs sewn together. I obviously need that book for inspiration!
I'd love some quilting inspiration, right now I'm making a nightie for my 4 year old, and seriously thinking about full bust alterations for myself, trying to talk myself into it.
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks, would love to give them a go. The main thing I am working on at the moment is a quilt for a friends 40th. I am using garden fence block with Terrain by Kate Spain and white boarders. I may try a couple of Chevron blocks in the backing. Will have to see what fabric is left over. Hugs Sandra
ReplyDeleteHi Kate, This book looks fabulous!! Congratulations to you. I am (in between writing reports) sewing placemats to go with my new Aunty Cookie Table Runner I have just made.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look great Kate! I'm trying to get a couple of toiletry bags made up for my son in Echino spot before he goes off to schoolies week.
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT!! I am currently sewing some gingerbread man softies for my sons for Christmas, also a small tote bag and quilted wall hanging for my Mamma :)
ReplyDeleteHi, just to let you know that I read your blog with pleasure, nice ideas. Carry on. Well done with your blocks in the book. Unfortunately I don´t live in Australia (used to live down there), I live in Mozambique bit out of the way ;)
ReplyDeleteHave a good day and a wonderfull weekend.
Greetings, Willemijn
That book looks like a great resource. At the moment I am attempting to sew myself some dresses from the Japanese Sewing book (translated into English) The Stylish Dress book. I haven't made clothes for myself for years! I have a wedding coming up soon & if all goes well, with attempt to make a dress to wear to that from this book as well.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great looking book.
ReplyDeleteI'm currently sewing a Xmas table runner as a gift for my son's Distance Education teacher.
Congrats! I love the Higgledy Piggledy. I seem to be all about geometrics in quilting lately.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I am sewing a simple squares quilt at the moment, finally at the quilting stage.
ReplyDeleteOh what a lovely book. I am sewing maxi dresses at the moment using some lovely knit fabrics. Summer is the perfect time for some great maxis!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I love this book! Even more now that I have discovered you are in it! I am sewing blouses for my granddaughters at the moment. And Christmas decorations. And a couple of quilts. And a sscs. That's all in the past week or so. I love to sew!
ReplyDeleteHi There, What a gorgeous book! I love simple yet effective designs. At the moment I am reconnecting with my sewing and having a go at making a dress for my daughter. She has a budding sense of style and it's fun to make something different...and hopefully a better fit.
ReplyDeleteLove reading your blog.Fingers & toes are crossed!
Deb
The book looks fabulous!... Well done for being infused twice...
ReplyDeleteI am currently sewing christmas all-sorts including a quilt for my niece and one each for my two boys. I am also in the process of making angel costumes for the school Christmas concert, dolls clothes and pajamas.
Wow! I'd better get a move on and stop reading a fantastic blog!...

Congratulations Kate! They are great blocks. Thank you for hosting a giveaway.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous book. I love your higgedly piggedly block. Fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win.
I love the book and so much want to try the new blocks. I admire the way you are able to jump from patchwork and quilting to dressmaking - once I started patchwork and quilting my dressmaking skills seems to have got lost in 1/4 inch seams - or perhaps my body shape was no longer 'Vogue'. Even if I don't win the fabulous book - I'll still be reading and enjoying your blog. Thank you ..
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your part in the book. I'm sewing a Christmas runner at the moment and then I'll be making some clothes for some of my grandchildren
