John and the crew over at Fat Quarterly have been very kind to me over the past few weeks! I'm happy to be guest posting over on their blog today, talking about a fun new project...
Hope over to the FQ Blog to learn more!
I was so excited when Cara asked me to design covers for her new quilt patterns! I was even more excited when she emailed to tell me that several online retailers, including Fat Quarter Shop, are going to sell the patterns as PDF downloads! Cara is an incredibly talented designer and I am so happy to have been able to help her realize her dream of bringing her work to a wider audience! So without further adieu, may I present...
and M.V.Q: Most Valuable Quilt
So, which one is your favorite?
The Kaffe Fassett boutique is 15% off now through Sunday, 6/5 at Fabric.com.
Look what I just received in the mail from Fat Quarter Shop! Last Tuesday evening on Twitter, I was the lucky winner of this Robert Kaufman jelly roll during Talkin' Tuesday, a weekly tweet-chat of like-minded fabric lovers, quilters and sewists of all types.
I have a few plans for this little guy, but do you have any favorite jelly roll project you'd like to share? Comment with a link or the name of your favorite project- I need ideas!
Oh, and if you're like me and sitting out Quilt Market this time around, be sure to follow Fat Quarter Shop on Twitter for fabulous updates on your favorite designers, fabrics and general market fun.

It's really not a sickness when you catch the bug. You look upon a quilt and feel your heart a-tug.
You suddenly get the urge to try your hand at such, and see how a quilt might look made with your own special touch.
You piece a block together and cannot seem to stop. You want to keep on sewing till you've finished the top.
You put the layers together and start your needle through. You finally get the hand of it, even though its new.
Now you're really hooked for you are the receiver of a fateful case of "Quilting Fever!"
- Charlotte Pierce
Get the thermometer. Heat up the chicken soup and pop the cap off the Nyquil 'cause I've caught the bug! Is this something that is going around? Are any of you experiencing the same symptoms?
You know, loss of sleep due to late-night rotary cutting?
Headaches and dizziness due to thinking of the dozens of ways to put your own spin on an already gorgeous pattern?
Loss of interest in anything that doesn't involve stacking and re-stacking little piles of squares just because they're so pretty?
Stiffness of the hands and wrists due to marathon snipping sessions?
Now, there are several of you out there who could have given me this bug. I'm not going to name names- you know who you are! I just have one thing to say to you-
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
