I just wanted to pop in quick and tell you about something fun to look forward to next week. A bunch of Minnesota Quilt Designers are having a blog hop next week! Each day you can visit a different designer’s blog and they will treat you to a free pattern, demo, or new technique. Many of the designers are having fun prizes for people who comment. Also, if you comment on every designer’s blog on the hop, your name will be entered into a drawing for the grand prize – a $200 gift basket fill with things from the participating designers. There will also be a first place prize valued at $60 and a second place prize valued at $40.
The blog hop starts this Monday over at Gudrun’s blog with a quilt-as-you-go table runner.
On Tuesday I’m up with a fun pattern for a small wall quilt, perfect for summer.
Here is the rundown for the rest of the dates:
June 24.Celine from Perkins Dry Goods
June 25. Roseann from Rosebuds Cottage
June26. Sherri from This ‘N’ That
June 29. Kari from New Leaf Stitches
June 30. Terry from Atkinson Designs
July 1. Shelly from Cedar Canyon Textiles
July 2. Jamie from Scrap-bags
July 3. Mary from Quilted Treasures
It’s going to be lots of fun – with all the fun things you will learn and the potential to win great prizes. All this fun was Gudrun’s idea, so be sure to thank her when you stop by her blog on Monday!
See you next tuesday,
Heather

I absolutely love your style. From your quilting patterns and choice of fabrics to your fun way of life. I do adore your husband’s dog and am jealous. I would love to have a dog that loving and sensative. I just discovered you yesterday, but will be back often. 🙂

Thank you – fun looking pattern.
Thanks for the lovely pattern. I’ve been looking for something to try some different methods of applique on by machine to challenge myself, as I love doing things by hand. Regards Karen
Wish I could send a bit of our heat up there to warm you. Love the project. Thanks
I love the flowers! They’re soooo cheerful, although today’s Minnesota weather is so toasty, our flower’s will need lots of water. One picture looked like you have a Sum and Substance hosta -I love mine – so big and chartreuse and easy to grow.
Was the alternate color scheme part of Kafe’s lines? Intense and rich.
I love your blog, Heather. Nice of you to include Joel & his other love.
i have made that one. It is really cute in the new colors.
love this idea and will get it made. THANK YOU
Who wouldn’t want that flower pot in their garden of “quilts”!
What a great idea. I love this little wall quilt, can’t decide if I want to make it in the reds or the pink and purples… I love them both. Thanks so much for the Download! Linda
So happy I found this site. Thanks.
Thanks so much for your cute pattern. I love it.
Love your sassy little flower quilt. Photo with red closepins was unique. Your color choices are wonderful.
I love quilting…not good at it, but I love it. Thank you so much for the pattern. I love it!

What a cutie and great way to use up some of the ‘left overs’
Wow, I’ve been so busy I didn’t know this was going on until today. How fun and nice that all the sites give a pattern. A nice extra bonus as if visiting the site isn’t enough inspiration! I love this wall hanging pattern and can hardly wait to make it. Thanks.
Love your pattern, great gift. now to see your website and what trouble I can get into there.Vivian
I really like your wall hanging. I look forward to learning your applique method. When you wre at the SD State Quilt Guild, I was unable to attend your class but heard great comments. Sure wish I could have attnded your class.
Finished piecing your project today….It is great!
