Village Quiltworks - she's offering to quilt a quilt for you. It doesn't get better than that, ladies.
This Quilted Notebook Cover pattern was created by quiltingdiva07@aol.com. Sorry but that's all that I have - I ran into her at my hotel in Houston in 2007 on my way to the International Quilt Festival. She had a notebook in her hand and I loved it. She told me that she had designed it and one of the booths was selling the pattern so I made sure to buy the pattern. Since then I've made about 20; some I gave as presents and some I sold. It takes 2 coordinating fat quarters, a piece of batting and some velcro to hold it closed. I can make one in less than hour! I have put a pretty button on some, a rhinestone pin on some, and one woman I know monogrammed hers.
This is the second block I've done in Winter Wonderland. I call this one Snowmen and Birds....seems like a rather redundant name doesn't it!
In my guild we have a silent auction in July of patriotic blocks. These are two I've made for that. Uncle Sam came from an Art to Heart book and the star block is just a star block! However, notice the great fireworks fabric. The blocks are supposed to be 12 1/2" - Fireworks is actually 12 3/8" but don't tell anybody.
And finally!
I made a table runner like this one last summer. I liked it so much that I cut out and pieced three more to give as gifts. Notice I said pieced, not quilted. This week I finally got them out again and quilted one. Still two to go. I'm sorry but I don't remember where I got the pattern.
What have you finished this week?

Your blocks are great. I think your firework's block is the same fabric I am using in my mystery quilt. I love that swirly colorful fabric. It adds so much zing to things.

Hi! Thank you for stopping by my blog. I'd like to read your 'where I am from' if you have it posted somewhere....let me know.
You've been busy. What a fun notebook cover. I could use that for sure. PS- not only did those buttons come from Walmart, but they were 3 for 1.99! This other lady started looking at them while I was, (like a moth to a flame) and we got chatting about how darling they were. Some of the buttons even have cute phrases on them, but I just didn't have a need for those yet. Okay, guess I better button up now...this is getting quite lengthy!
Wow Marlene you have done so much this week ! I haven't done near as much LOL - it's just been a crazy week for me ! However I did get 3 little blocks pieced this week though so at least thats something. I recived the orange fabric yesterday , oh thank you so much !!! It's all so wonderful , just perfect. I hope that next week I'll be able to sit at the sewing maching and get my little geese all finished up :)Talk to you soon,
Hugs,
Amy
All of your projects are so beautiful and I especially loved the Snowman and Birds block. The embroidery is exquisite!

Hi Marlene, you make us all wanting to get busy. At least to finish something. I start so many items and start another one. I think I need something to stay focus. The notebook pattern is really neat.
Have a Blessed Day,
Bonnie

I did the Winder Wonderland for my grandmother this past Christmas. She wants to do the entire quilt (she's 94). You do beautiful work.
