Fabric Winner & a Free Tutorial

Hi, everyone! Hope you're having a great week. There's been a LOT happening here in the Quilt Dad household -- the types of things that might cause much upheaval for us over the next couple of months. All good things, though! I'll share more as it all unravels ...

Patchwork Quilt

In the meantime, I wanted to announce the winner of my Mother's Day fabric giveaway. The leftover blocks will be going to Bailey, who said:

"I just ordered the bundle - I love the fabrics! As comment #4 says - "hey, it's Mother's day right?" Thanks for the chance to win some extra fabrics to go along with it!"

Congrats, Bailey! I can't wait to see what you make. I'll email you shortly for your mailing information.

Mug Rug Tutorial

Also, I wanted to point you to a new tutorial that I wrote up as part the Fat Quarterly team's guest series on the Sew Mama Sew blog. I made two cute little mug rugs for some swaps recently and decided to share the pattern with you all. Click over to the post on the SMS blog to access the tutorial. Enjoy, and please let me know if you make one!

Until my next post, I will leave you with a riddle: what do I have in common with Taylor Swift??

    Hows about you are secretly a singer song-writer in Nashville? Or You like Patsy CLine.

    John: Congratulations on being a Man Who Sews!! If you have not yet heard of him, you must visit the website www.manquilter.com, a Canadian long-arm quilter who really rocks!

    No idea what you have in common with Taylor but glad to see we are getting more men who love to quilt. Wish my husband did. Also glad to have you in NC. We are also in NC and I am a long arm quilter who gets little time to work on my quilts but I love to see what my customers are making.
