Hi everyone! If you're joining me from Sew Mama Sew's giveaway week, then welcome!! Just a bit about me; my name is Logan and I'm a mom to 4 amazing kids and wife to a great guy who supports my quilting addiction. My mom and I own a longarm quilting company called Chocolate Dipped Quilts and this blog is where we show off some of our work. This year, I have been trying to sew my way through Camille Roskelley's book Simply Retro while following Jana's quilt-along.
I wanted to finally share these blocks from the very last quilt in the book, Fresh. They are huge, measuring 24" x 24". The pattern calls for 16 blocks, making this a ginormous quilt. I obviously haven't gotten quite that far yet. I definitely spend more time quilting for others than I do piecing for myself. The fabric is called Bake Sale by Lori Holt. I have all cut out and it has been sitting on my sewing room floor in piles. I should probably get piecing before those piles end up all over my house!
I have sewn up at least one block from each of the patterns in this book and it's my goal in 2014 to finish them all up, including quilting and binding them. Follow me along to see the final projects! Or feel free to browse back a bit to see some of the work I have done.
My book has been read through a million times. I wish you could see better how tattered this book is compared to the new one I just bought. Since I have LOVED this book and all the patterns in it so much, I wanted to give away a copy to one of you!!
Just leave a comment about any quilty thing that you're currently loving for a chance to win Camille Roskelley's book Simply Retro! Follow me on Bloglovin' (or another reader) for an extra entry and then leave a comment saying you've done so. Giveaway ends on December 13th at midnight and I will announce the winner the next day.
