The Daily Dot Block of the Day 2017 starting soon!

GourmetQuilter News

I can't believe where the year has gone!

So much has been happening! I have been to Houston, TX, USA, for Quilt Market and Quilt Festival and had the most amazing time, of course! So great to see all the suppliers to the quilting industry at Quilt Market and then I had a booth at Quilt Festival. I had only a small amount of time to visit the quilt exhibition but it was fantastic, so many different quilts and quilters, such a feast for the eyes!

Following Houston I went to the east coast of USA and spent a couple of nights in Boston, MA, where I was fortunate to catch up with my 4 year old grandson who just happened to be also visiting Boston! As he is usually in NZ this was pretty amazing! We had a super afternoon in the Children's Museum in Boston.

Then I went up to visit Sturbridge, MA, to attend and be involved in the PinwheelsandFriends.com Show. It was delightful! Sturbridge and all the vendors and attendees just completed my trip so well, it was so great to meet up with some old friends and meet some new ones. Thanks Maria for a great show.

The new Block of the Day for 2017 - The Daily Dot -  is due to start early 2017, so don't miss this great opportunity of a discount on the pattern - see below for more details.

The Block of the Month, Great Foundations, is on to Block 8 now! There is a video tutorial available here.

That Town and Country Quilt Block of the Day 2016 is coming to an end with lots of towns and surrounding countryside appearing!

Hoping all is going well with this busy build-up time to the holiday season!
