GLORIOUS CREATIONS: February 2016

If you are looking for something to lift your spirits, something to inspire you to be more creative, I have the solution. My Friend, Toby Lischko has published her new book. The book contains new piecing techniques with accurate descriptions. You will be excited when you see how she manipulates fabric
She has had the honor to be chosen as a finalist for the National Quilt Museum's New Quilts from Old Favorites contest in Paducah, Kentucky. Her Quilt placed 5th.
If you are attending this year's AQS show in Paducah she has several classes she will be teaching. The following is the newsletter published by Toby to announce her new book.
Toby also has a blog site to visit: http://gatewayquiltsnstuff.blogspot.com/

Workshops

I will be teaching 5 workshops this year at the AQS show in Paducah, KY. Two of them are already sold out. It's a great show and shouldn't be missed.
I still have openings in myMardi Gras class. Learn how to make a Lone Star, "y" seams without marking, and how to fussy-cut sections for a unique look.

eQuilter Collaboration

My free eQuilter.com pattern this month is Bejeweled. It was created on Electric Quilt 7 with one of Caryl Bryer Fallert-Gentry collections called Waves for Benartex.

You can get the pattern here along with fabrics to make the quilt.

It is a great pattern that you can use my Cutting Corners templates to save from having to mark diagonal lines on the backs of squares. You can see it here:

National Quilt Museum
New Quilts from Old Favorites contest

One of my quilts had the honor of being chosen as a finalist for the National Quilt Museum's New Quilts from Old Favorites contest in Paducah, Kentucky. I had dreamed of having a quilt in the museum and it came true! My quilt came in fifth place and will be featured in the AQS book with the same title. You will be able to see it at the museum in a special display from March until June (I think) and then it will travel with the AQS shows. The theme block was New York Beauty which happens to be my favorite block. My husband called it Ocean Blue. You can see the top five winners here:
