The final installment of Tales of the Quilt Shop/Sugarplums is here! I know you've been waiting a long time. I apologize. I made a huge move this fall from California to Colorado and got behind in everything. 

I am so thrilled to finally show you the entire Sugarplums quilt that Holly Mabutas of Eat Cake Graphics designed for us. It's a wonderful holiday quilt.

Ta-Da!

Gorgeous, right? The final block is here:

A cool gingerbread house on a hill. I love it.

I'll be back with more pictures of my quilt. As you might remember, it's been made in fabrics the total opposite of Holly's - bright batiks.

For now, Happy Thanksgiving. Hope you get some sewing and reading time in this holiday weekend.

No more summer vacation for Tales of the Quilt Shop. Installment #6 is finally here. Thanks for your patience. You can download the new file here:

I'm behind in my blocks but I can't wait to get to this latest one. Holly's designs are so inviting. I hope you'll share your blocks with me. Send me your pics!

Here's a sneak peek at what your quilt will look like. 

You won't have to wait so long for #7. That installment will be up next week. And #8 will be up as scheduled on September 14th. That will be the finale!

I'm on the East Coast visiting my son. Since I was within driving range, I decided to join Mark Lipinksi on Pickle Road for his Creative Mojo radio show. I was his cohost for the entire two hours and it was a blast! Mark and I talked to Jennifer Chiaverini and several others. We laughed a lot.

Be sure to listen all the way to end to hear the question Mark asked that made me stammer and blush. Well, you can't see the blushing but you should be able to hear the stammer!
