It's day 5 here - and the last day (sort of) of our hop! You'll join me tomorrow at my place - right here - for the super duper something big is really in store for you wrap up, but today is the last day to visit one of our quilting rock stars!! And there's no better place to hop on over to than Vanessa's spot!
Although I have to admit that I've never met Vanessa in person, I have admired her work for quite some time. As V and Co., a fellow Martingale author of Make It Sew Modern,
she has designed one of my most favoritest patterns of all times:
and now she's gone and done it and become a fabric designer with Moda! What''s a girl like me going to do? Well there's nothing I can do except go out and buy TONS of this gorgeous stuff:
And get cranking on some gorgeous quilts!!! In between all that - she finds time first and foremost to be a wife, mom of 3 and fellow doggie mom. Hmmmm - feels like I've known her forever!
Let's take a hop on over to her place, and see what's in store for our (almost) last day of this fun filled hop!!!
With a warm heart,
Kathy
Another cute "shop".... Not seeing a reference to your new book, though :( will try back later!

I just came over from Vanessa's blog. I've really enjoyed the blog hop and your book looks great. I'm impressed at how interesting a quilt can look with only 5 fabrics!

I just clicked over from Vanessa's blog and I wanted to tell you that I am in love with that circle quilt she posted a picture of on her blog. I love that your book only uses 5 fabrics for each quilt because picking out much more than that and making them look good together is really hard for me. Good job!!! :)
Posted by: Amy | June 22, 2012 at 09:45 AM
Just hopped over from the V and Co. blog --I'm crossing my fingers that I win your book because it's fabulous!

Hey! Vanessa sent me over to check out your sight and I'm so glad I did. There's a whole other world opening up for me in this quilting thing I'm trying and I just found some awesome stuff on your site! Thanks so much! Lacey

Heard it from Vanessa! Came to check out your stuff. I really want to win your book, it looks fantastic!! If I don't win it, I will probably buy it. The quilts are just too cute! Keep up the great work!
Posted by: Linda | June 22, 2012 at 01:05 PM
My favorite thing about this book is the focus on beautiful fabrics in "fun" quilts...patterns are getting so complicated yet all the beautiful new fabrics deserve a place to "shine" on their own! I'm ready to go back to simpler is better so that my precious quilting time is stress-free. Looking forward to using this great book. And thanks for introducing us to Vanessa...another new bookmark!
Posted by: Linda v | June 22, 2012 at 02:50 PM
Hi Kathy. Vanessa sent me over, but I was happy to do it; to tell you again what a wonderful book this is and besides it gives me another chance at winning one.
Posted by: Wendy Ouellette | June 22, 2012 at 03:09 PM
I'm visiting from Vanessa today, and have made the stop at each blog for your book hop. Some local quilters made several community quilts using your Take Five patterns and had lots of fun. Here's hoping that I win More Take Five and can give this a whirl. Thanks for taking the time to organize this hop and write another good book.
