I really really and truly want this book for myself. I have at
least a zillion fat quarters to use up. I want to make every single
pattern that is shown in this book. I can do this, but I need to be a
winner. Thank you for the chance to win.

Note from Jane- The
attached photo is my book from childhood that I hope will be passed on through
the generations ( notice the Barbara Brackman William Morris backdrop
).
I decided to do an I SPY baby quilt for my first grand baby. No one is pregnant yet so i am taking my own sweet time collecting fabrics and adding pieces little by little.
The hexy section shown here is made from parts of the Funky Monkey line. the middle yellow monkey is me, the blue one is Gary. The hexies 1-5 represent each of the kids. My daughter-in-law is the green hexy wearing the pink dress with a strand of pearls.
(very top of pic) Her hexagon is connected to the number 1 since she is married to my oldest. My second son does give her a lot of grief so I thought it fitting to put her above #2 so she can keep an eye on him.
The templates are called “Holy Peepers.” Isn’t that a great name?
I love quilts that are repetitive graphic quilts that you have to take a second look at to see how they are constructed.
My favorite from the book has probably got to be Supponsibilites.
It is a great quilt but it is a wonderful story as well. (see book for story)
Be sure and check out all the stops on the blog tour to see their favorite quilt and for more chances to win.

Congratulations!!! You are the winner of A quilting Life book by Sherri McConnell.
Quilting is my life, I had a dream once that I got called into the Principal’s office because my son called someone a fat quarter. I did get called in at a later date for him looking up a girl’s skirt on the playground.
When I worked and taught at a quilt store, sometimes my students would call my home asking quilting questions. My family was comfortable thinking they could answer. If they were asked, about how much yardage should they buy? The standard answer was, “I think 1/2 yard would be plenty.”
I once was blamed for our foundation issues.
Well after all my fabric stash was on that side of the house.
Do you let people use your good scissors to cut paper? What about using a rotary cutter to cut pizza? you know who you are… Quilting is my life.
