Clue #10 - Did you guess it?

By

Did you guess it?  We are going to finish up those last 10 strips cut in Clue #1 and make 60 more Diamond Rect.  


For fabric selection, I'm using the last 10 strips and I will keep them separated and marked in a baggie for Clue #10 

Here are the selections I made:

My Paisley Rose selections

My Bermuda Batik 

With this clue we are officially past the half way mark!  So, make sure you take a look at all of your Blocks together and assess what colors/fabrics have not been represented yet.  Take a look at what Fat Quarters you have left to ensure you keep those in mind in the upcoming Clues.  

My Blocks from my Paisley Rose


My Blocks from my Bermuda Batiks

That wraps up this week's Clue.  I'm teaching in Lancaster, PA at Land Ahoy Lancaster, for Stitchin Heaven.  So, I need to get back to class!

Keep Stitching,
Michelle

A New Deb Tucker Pattern for our Northern Neighbors!

The 2nd pattern we test drove at the Studio 180 Design Certified Instructor's Retreat was Deb's Tucker's Northern Neighbors.  This is another pattern she plans on having out in a few months.  It was really neat. Plus, you don't need to go with the traditional Canadian Maple Leaves if you don't want to.... several of us Certified Instructors took it in several different directions.  Here are a few examples. This is Donna's - Just to die for!  Love the batiks!  She got really far - - she doesn't talk as much of the rest of us!  LOL Here is mine, with my Kaffe Stash: And then the groups, so you can compare and see how versatile the pattern is: This pattern will use the following Studio 180 Design's tools:  Split Rects, Corner Beam, Wing Clipper, Square2....  If you don't own then, this is a great weekend to purchase them at my etsy shop.  I'm offering 15% off if you spend $20 or more.  Use code: ENDMARCH  at my shop now throug

Woo Hoo!  A little productivity this weekend.  I was able to complete the piecing of my version of Atlantic Flyways for my February Class at Yankee Quilter ( www.yankeequilter.com ).  I'm hoping to get it quilted in the evenings this week (might be a challenge) and to drop off. I'm giving a Wing Clipper demo at Yankee Quilter this Saturday.  They have Flying Geese in their Block of the Month and have asked me to come demonstrate how to use the Wing Clipper.  I hope to have the Signs of Autumn Table Runner and Atlantic Flyway completed to show. Here is Deb Tucker's original: Fingers Crossed, it is back to work tomorrow!

NEW PATTERN RELEASE I adore this month's Stashbuster Quilt, Turning Up Pumpkins .   Turning Up Pumpkins You can make this fabulous quilt with stash, scraps, or new  fabric.   The pumpkins are made with 10-11 Fat Quarters.
