    I am a follower. How do you you put the scrap blocks together? Do you rotate every other one 180 degrees?

    While I'm here I might as well enter to win. :) I'm a new follower of yours. This year I would like to start on my Christmas gifts way ahead of time so I don't have that end of the year push. Have a Nice Day! :)

    I guess my resolution would have to be that I don't 'over commit' to do too many sewing/quilting projects! I'm a follower and must say your new sewing machine and sewing room are awesome. And SCORE on all the fabric you just bought, lol!

    I follow through email, hope that counts! :)
    My resolution for the coming year is to try some quilts that are a challenge to me, designs like curves for one. What is the design of that spectacular piece on your design wall? It's gorgeous and the colours are amazing :)

      I was inspired by the Ogee QAL. I did not buy the offical pattern (I made my own cause im cheap). It is a take on drunkards path. Lots of curved seems (yuck yuck yuck). More info can be found here or you can google Ogee or Curlicue

    Hope this doesn't double post(went to publish & I got an error) I'm a follower. My resolution is to quilt more and to increase my stash. I just returned to quilting after 25+ years away and am working on getting a stash. Have little problem because we retired to Mexico and they don't have the quality cotton fabrics so I have to order internationally and shipping eats up almost half of my quilty budget. Thank you for the chance to win your giveaway.

    I love the idea of the Stacks & Stacks block. What a great way to use those pesky leftovers :)

    I would adore winning the candy. I am a follower. This year my resolution is to make a 'big' quilt. Big enough for my king size bed. I think it is time to be brave and move beyond placemats and lap quilts.
