Recently I subscribed to Quiltmania magazine. The first editions arrived today. Lots and lots of inspiration!!Quiltmania has been very difficult to find here. A couple of months ago it did start appearing our newsagents. Somehow I have managed to end up with 2 copies of issue 75. I would like to offer one of those copies to one of my readers. Just mention in a comment you would like the copy and I will send it to a randomly selected person.
The second piece of surprise mail was this pattern.
I won the pattern from the Fat Quarterly blog.I decided to dive right into my stash and start sewing!!
Here is what I came up with...
...........and its reversible!!!
Cute huh??
I finished the broderie perse Morrell block last night.
It is only the 3rd day of winter here and look what I found in my garden already! My first jonquil of the season. :)
I would like to thank everyone who comes to visit my blog. A special thank you to everyone who leaves a comment. I have had lots of wonderful comments lately. :) I try to reply individually to everyone who leaves a comment, but unfortunately some people are no reply. I am thanking all of you here. I love visiting all the commenters who have a blog too!
Happy sewing!!!
You are bursting with inspiration, Miriam! Lovely apron, you are set and ready to cook up some some beautiful quilts!

I really enjoyed the latest Quiltmania & had to hold tight not to go and make the dutch quilt on the cover!
Enjoy, and good luck to whoever gets the extra issue...
hugs
You have been very busy.
ReplyDeleteQuiltmania would have to be my favourite magazine and I did find one a few month ago at a newsagent here in Queensland and hope they are getting again.
cheers

What a lovely post - Quilt Mania is such a great magazine, almost better than some of the books I've gotten.
ReplyDeleteI like your new apron - fun!
nice broderie perse block!
winter flowers? how funny to think of it, they bloom in spring here. It's one of my favorite flowers!
Lovely blog! Cute apron! My admiration for your broderie perse block, have always been intrigued by that method. Flowers in winter...must be heavenly! If I can still see my toes on 3rd day of winter and they aren't covered with snow...it's a good day!
ReplyDeleteI have not seen those magazines and I would love to win the copy and your apron is fabulous Miriam :) I bet you look gawjus in it too :) I enjoyed looking at all your lovely flowers too...I miss having a garden with lots of lovely flowers. :) Hugs Vicki
ReplyDeleteOh that last Quilt Mania had me with the cover quilt....LOVED it! I look forward to each and every issue that I receive....they're all so yummy!

ReplyDeleteLove the apron. Very cute. Both sides. :-) The little flower is soooo pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love those fabrics. Do you know the name of the line?
ReplyDeleteI subscribed to Quilt Mania for a year. It was expensive but I enjoyed every issue.
ReplyDeleteWe have finally got the mag here. Who did you subscribe with?
ReplyDeleteI love your apron, it's very cute and the Morrell block is gorgeous.
I have a difficult time finding Quiltmania too. It's a fantastic magazine and I'd love to win your extra copy.
ReplyDeleteYour Morrell block is amazing!! Nice job.
Love the cute apron too.
I can't believe you have the Jonquils popping up already! The seasons are really off tilt at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI love your new apron, it's gorgeous.
We have just started getting Quiltmania in our local newsagent here too. It's a fantastic magazine and can you please put me in the draw for the extra copy as I haven't got those ones.
I have not seen this magazine in my local stores. Based on your review and the comments from above, I have to find this and check it out!

Your apron is so pretty. Great idea to make it reversible. Love your block.
ReplyDeleteI have seen the magazine at our Borders book store. I have not bought one yet.
Fantastic Apron!!
ReplyDeletewould love a quiltmania mag.........have seen it around on blogland..........
ReplyDeletel have recently joined blogland and today found your blog via Janet over at Quiltsalot. l can see l will have to come back for a longer visit. There are some stunning WIP's to see and admire.
ReplyDeletel would love to be the owner of your spare mag. Thanks for sharing.
I have heard that Quiltmania is a great magazine but have never had one. If it's not to late I'd love to be in the drawing. I have the Morrell pattern but have not begun the blocks yet, very inspiring to see yours. I'm hoping I can do these, the blocks look difficult. Love your apron too! Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteWell done with your Morrell block - looks gorgeous! I am about to start the quilt myself - but still tracking down fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI love Quiltmania too - thanks for the opportunity to be in the draw.
all the best
Hilda
