Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Blog Tour and a Giveaway!

Hellooooooooooo and welcome to Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Blog Tour!

I am down right excited to have my block in this magazine! To be included in a group of so many talented and wonderful designers is truly an honor.


A big thank you to June, Carolyn, Diane and Shayla for being so nice to correspond with. These ladies do an incredible job of putting this magazine together. This is a magazine that is not only fun to collect, but it's also a keepsake for your inspiration library.

 Of course, you know my block had to be about bunnies. ;) I named it "Carrot Run."


"Sure would be nice if Mama would run and get us some carrots!"


This 12" block features National Nonwoven's wool felt. I used Navy (magazine says black, but it's actually navy) Butternut Squash and Reets Relish.


I also used Valdani's 3 strand floss from my Folk Art Fusion (TM) collection.

 What's really fun about this magazine is that you can take any of the 12" blocks and create something of your very own. I decided to turn my block into a 16" pillow. I had some Harvest Moon fabrics from Kansas Troubles which I love and wanted to use.


I made this pillow to donate for an auction at The Rabbit Haven in California. Their annual BunnyFest is coming up in which they raise funds to support the rescue, as well as, provide education on rabbit care to families who adopt these precious creatures. This is an all-volunteer rescue and I am very happy to help them.


So, what will you be inspired to create from all the fabulous blocks featured in this issue? The magazine will be available on newsstands around May 7th. I will also have some copies for sale in      my SHOP. 


However, you know how much I do love giveaways! The fabulous folks at Quiltmaker will be giving away a copy of this magazine! To enter, simply leave a comment on this post. The bunnies and I will use the random number generator to select the winner this Friday, May 3rd. As always, we love our friends/followers so if you are signed up (right sidebar) as a follower, you will get two chances. Good luck! Bunny ears crossed!  


Now I invite you to hop over to Quiltmaker's, Quilty Pleasures, Blog and visit with more of the designers and enter their daily giveaway. Tell them we said hello!

xx,
Michelle and the Bunnies
