Carol and LKDrum are our winners of Day #1 Primitive Quilts magazine. Please send your mailing addresses and I'll get Robert right on it. I warned him about the daily giveaways in our countdown and his response was, "Well of course you're giving away stuff right now since there's nothing else going on..." Aren't husbands so understanding? My 10-year-old grandson Cooper's reply to Grampa now is "Can you spell sarcasm?" Gotta love it!
Okay, for Day #2 in our Countdown to Christmas, more magazines - 3 of the newest Quiltmaker 100 Blocks! Three lucky quilters will each win a magazine if they comment by 10pm tonight. Here's a look at my block with Sandhill Plums and Cattails fabrics. It's so much fun to transform a traditional block with a gazillion pieces into a simply doable raw edge applique version. My daughter, Nicole, turned 30 this year and selected this block (30 of them) in a really scrappy quilt as her birthday gift. I just hope I can finish it before she turns 31!
Do you buy this magazine for the eye candy & inspiration or actually make some of the blocks? Watch later during the Countdown for a set of Issues #2,3,and 4!

That's a great block! It'll make a fantastic quilt.
ReplyDeleteI have two volumes of that magazine and so far it's been inspiration. I do want to make some of the blocks, but seems other projects that NEED to get done take precidence.
Love the block and the material. Would love to make this and more Would be pretty out of the ne cattails material which I have and not used yet.
ReplyDeleteSandy S
Absolutely lovely block! I usually need any book or magazine for eye candy and inspiration, but then often end up making some. I do need the 100 Blocks magazine now to find something to make with a huge stack of fabric that I've been hoarding.
ReplyDeleteChristmas blessings to you.........
Lynne,
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this book! Tried with the giveaway earlier this year but no luck. OK this time I'll cross my toes as well as my fingers, legs, arms.............
Love the block. I would love to win the magazines.
ReplyDeleteI buy this magazine for the eye candy and to make the blocks done by my favorite designers!
ReplyDeleteI buy most magazines for the eye candy because I have too many projects going all the time.

I don't buy many magazines as with the postage it just makes it too expensive for me, this is why I use the internet to get my inspiration!
ReplyDeleteBoth. I put the current issue on my Christmas wish list hoping that my husband would add it to my Christmas gifts. It would be great to win it.
ReplyDeleteI did make a block out of the last issue and would love to have the current issue too!
ReplyDeleteConny from Red Deer, Alberta
What a stunning block! Can't wait to see more of the new line. I plan on making this block for sure after getting the magazine.
ReplyDeleteI have 3 and 4 and hate to say it, I haven't made one yet. But I tend to get patterns and make them a few years later, that seems to be the pattern for me;)
ReplyDeleteDebbie
That's a great block. Please count me in.
ReplyDeleteGreat block. I love the colors in your new fabric, esp the lilacs/purples.
ReplyDeleteThe magazine sounds great, so I' m crossing my fingers and enter :-))
Am new to this book...so would love to see it for the inspiration....janet
ReplyDeleteI like patterns for ideas but seem to have trouble following directions and always change something, even if just a little. Would love the magazine. thanks
ReplyDeleteI like your block and would like to include it in a scrappy quilt I'm starting to make blocks for. Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI haven't bought a new quilt magazine since...like forever! I always tell myself that the years and years stockpile I have of Quilter's Newsletter and various others are full of more inspiration than I will use in my lifetime. But, I REALLY love getting new mags. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI haven't gotten the newest 100 Blocks so would love to win it. I buy for both, eye candy and for the patterns. Thanks for the give away.
ReplyDeleteI usually buy the mag for inspiration. It's a magazine you can look over again and again and never tire of. Thanks for the give away.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the block you're making for your daughter....can you share the pattern?
ReplyDeleteJackie
Like the blocks you are making for your daughter! I haven't brought the magazine so would love to win it.
ReplyDeleteCongatualations to the winners!
ReplyDeleteI.m not familiar yet with this new price but you made me curious!
greetings Marianne
I really like the block you chose. I usually buy the magazine, mark all of the wonderful blocks I am going to make someday and then never get to them. The block designers are really awesome.
ReplyDeleteMy answer is yes. I buy magazines for both inspiration and I actually make them but not as many as I intended. Like your block. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the winners from Day 1.
ReplyDeleteI received my first copy of Primitive Quilts yesterday and was so pleased. Your quilt in that issue is lovely...well, all your quilts are lovely. I like the block you have the the 100 blocks mag. Your daughter is lucky! I do have the magazine (won it during the blog hop for that) so in the event my post is drawn please pick another to win it!
Wow, I have the first editions of 100 Blocks, but not the latest one. The blocks are always so inspiring. Thanks for sharing a copy.
ReplyDeleteNow there is a magazine I don't have, but want. I buy some magazines for the eye candy and others to actually make a quilt from. Like everyone else I just need more time!
ReplyDeleteI love to be visual inspired...of course actual construction is much harder...but I have made a million quilts in my head!
ReplyDeleteI love contests! Thanks for doing a 12 Days of Christmas one. Quilting magazines are usually a "wish book" for me, but we've all got to dream, right?
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
I love this block! I love how you are always creating "must do's!" Thanks for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win one of these magazines having never seen one. Thanks for the chance to win and some inspiration--beautiful block!
ReplyDeleteI've never had a copy of this magazine and would love to win. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI buy magazines for eye candy and inspiration. The 100 Blocks would be a great book to have. Thanks for the oppoortunity in the giveaway! Lana D.
ReplyDeleteI buy the magazine for the eye candy and inspiration but DO plan to make something from the magazine one of these days. Happy Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteThis would be a great inspiration and reference magazine. Thanks for the chance to win.

I love your block for the magazine. I haven't bought any of the 100 block series. The one quilt I have made designing the sample blocks we made in class, ended up badly. I have named the finished quilt "22 stitches"'. Some how I thought a scar on my left index finger would be a great conversation starter. Luckily the shop owner is cool headed as I don't remember anything after looking down and saying "I cut my finger". I've been told that as we were waiting for my daughter to take me to the emergency room, I tried to buy some fabric and some notions. The next thing I remember is getting the shot to numb my finger. That's the only pain I felt Until several hours later.
ReplyDeleteNeat block and fabric choice. I guess it is just because I finished breakfast but the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the block was a fried egg sandwich.
ReplyDeleteWell, I thought kind of odd but it works for a Christmas breakfast.
I would love to win, thanks to you and your husband for the giveaway opportunity and the Christmas quilt block posts. I just found it today, I'll have to go back to look for the first post.
Have purchased the magazine because of certain designers, like you. So keep designing.
ReplyDeleteCarol L.
Beautiful block... can hardly wait for the Sandhill Plums to be in stores!
ReplyDeleteI buy magazines if there is something in them I want to make. Or if there is a favorite designer of mine in them.
Congratulations Lana on your Day 1 win!
Thanks for all this fun!

Thanks for another sweet giveaway day. I actually made a block from the v3 QM 100 blocks and it is wonderful to read.
ReplyDeleteWould love to win this magazine. I buy tons of magazines just to look and drool over all the amazingness!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! What a grand giveaway. I'm always drawn to the eye candy, which then gives me inspiration and I've been known to make a block or seven. LOL Thank you once again, for your kind generosity. Happy Holidays!

I like to have these on hand for inspiration. I feel if you can't find a block idea in one of them, there must be something the matter. Thanks for the chance to win, again.
ReplyDeleteI love the old-fashioned feel of this quilt block! It's the exact block I would love to have on my bedroom quilt! :) Thank you for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMerry CHRISTmas!
I love this magazine...so much inspiration for that next quilt! Browsing and then mixing and matching the blocks into a quilt is so much fun! Thanks for the giveaway!!!
ReplyDeleteI buy the magazine for inspiration - and also with the plan to make something from it! Love these giveaways --thank you!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see all the blocks in the magazine -a definite inspiration! Thanks for all your give aways and wonderful patterns!
ReplyDeleteLove the block! I buy the magazine for a someday project. Someday when I get to sew a project for myself!
ReplyDeleteI am a quilt instructor and use the magazine as a teaching tool.
ReplyDeleteI not's have this magazine, but would love to own it. Always have time to look over new magazines for ideas.
ReplyDeletehl3smith@yahoo.com
holy smoke! Thank you for the chance!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the winners!
ReplyDeleteI wish this great magazine was available in the UK!!
Merry Christmas and congratulations to the winners. I love candy, so most of the magazines are eye candy. I have made a few quilts from a magazine. Thank you for the chance to win .
ReplyDeleteLove the comment from your grandson! I collect magazines for inspiration and they are about to take over the house! My spouse is still looking for my inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win a copy of the magazine. I have never bought it but did the blog hop when the last issue was released hoping to win one and saw so many wonderful blocks that would be great inspiration... Thanks for the chance.

I love to look and look and look at the magazines but also pick out projects to do :) thanks for the chance to win...
ReplyDeleteI buy magazines with the intention of making something, but unfortunately they rarely get done. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteI love your block! It is one I would make. I usually pick up a magazine if something in it catches my eye. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteJust want to say I enjoy this site. Merry Christmas
ReplyDeleteI didn't enter yesterday as I have a subscription, but I would love to win today's! I love the block for your daughter's quilt. Lucky daughter!

I never get tired of looking at quilts, quilt blocks and having quilting ideas swirling in my head...nice ideas in these magazines.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win,
Happy sewing
Such a generous giveaway. Have a Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteAnn P.
Have always loved your fabrics and patterns and now have discovered your blog. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteIt's the eye candy for me. I like to look at color combinations since I'm a beginner quilter.
ReplyDeleteHi Lynne
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is very lucky. Nice block. Quilt magazines are always on my list to get. I try and do a project here and there but I just get overwhelmed. Thank you for the chance to win.
Take care. Diane
Thanks for the chance to win! Magazines are always so inspiring! Lovely block and fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures. They inspire me and the patterns provide the directions. Love Kansas Troubles.
ReplyDeleteGreat block! Would love to win a coy of magazine. I would actually make some of the blocks.
ReplyDeleteThe color contrast really "sets off" the block!! As a novice quilter, I do buy magazines for eye "candy" but have actually started "sampling" some of the goodies. To be honest, I do get overwhelmed at times. Thanks for the creative inspiration!!! Wishing you and yours a healthy, happy, holiday!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the block, great colors! Don't know if I have ever seen that magazine, but would like to. Is that 10:00pm your time or mine. Thanks for all the great giveaways!
ReplyDeleteI don't own any of these magazines. Would love to though!
ReplyDeleteMore great quilting ideas from you
ReplyDeleteThe block is beautiful. Don't know if I could make it with good fit on the machine, but I could do it on my hands. A fun challenge!
ReplyDeleteLove the block! Good luck on your daughter's quilt
ReplyDeleteLove that magazine. I have made a few of hte blocks but they are usually just eye candy.
ReplyDeleteI have never bought this magazine, shame on me. I would love to win one, however. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI would love to make a block from the inspiration I get just looking at that beautiful block. I love the soft colors.

Love your block. To win one of the 100 block magazines would be great! Your giveaways are
ReplyDeletevery generous.
I usually buy the magazine because of their eye candy, but I love making blocks, so I get twice the pleasure from each one. I'd love to win this prize--you can never have enough magazines or block patterns!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win one of the magazines!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I have to flip through the pages before I purchase a magazine that I do not subscribe to.
ReplyDeleteIt may start off as eye candy but ends up me wanting to try something. Thanks for Day #2 chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI love traditional blocks. I really enjoy making a 9" Ohio Star block with a 3" Ohio Star as the center square. KT fabrics are GREAT for this. It's an ongoing project with all my KT leftovers.
