Merry

Christmas and

Happy Holidays to

all of you, no matter where

you are, no matter how you celebrate,

no matter who you are with.   And lets hope

for the New

Year, "Peace

 on Earth"!

Well Janet and Joyce claimed their prizes.  I want to thank all of you again for your visit and comments.  Look here after the new year begins for a new beginning.

 Happy Holidays to all of you.

Thanks to all of you for participating in the Blog Hop Party. 

Randomly selected, the two winners are Janet and Joyce C.  Both of you were sent an email notifying you of the win so you need to respond.

I really appreciate all the comments.  It seems that tutorials and photos are the main requests.  I have some ideas for posting but don't expect anything new until after the new year.

Again thank you for taking the time to comment.  Have a happy holiday season and keep quilting!

I am so appreciating all your comments and hints!  Keep them coming and keep blog hopping!

Welcome to my blog and the Quilter's Blog Hop Party!  (December 10-15, 2013)  Just leave a comment on my blog about what you want to see on a quilting blog.

 
I admit I have been lax in keeping my blog current, but I am at a loss as what to put on it.  So you can help me out by leaving your comment and TWO of you will win a copy of my newest Square-agonals book, "12 Easy Pieces"!

 

What is Square-agonals?  It is my technique for creating an on-point quilt without cutting any corner or setting triangles, doing any math calculations, or sewing in diagonal rows.  Check out my web site for more information and my "Sandi's Store" for my books, guide tapes, and line of patterns. 

 

What you need to do to win a copy of my book

1. Leave your comment on what you want to see on a quilting blog.
2. Be sure to leave a way for me to contact you if you win (will ship internationally).
3. Go back to the Quilters's Blog Hop Party! to visit the other blogs.

Thank you for visiting and for your helpful comments! Good Luck!Happy Holidays to you!....Sandi

Blog Hop Party starting tomorrow, December 10!  Come back later tonight, or tomorrow morning for details!  You can win one of two copies of my newest book, "Square-agonals; 12 Easy Pieces"!

Santa was at market! I told him I've been a good girl!

Here'sMarket!

Market just opened, 23 rows of vendors! What fun! I'll be in the Rockland booth at 11, Landauer booth at 1, and Patter Peddler at 2. Stop by and say hello!

The before!

Here's a look at the chaos the days before market opens.

Met up with Kelly Jackson!

Who should I meet up with early in the day?... None other than Kelly Jackson owner of "I Have A Notion". She's a big fan of Square-agonals. So I gave her the leis. I was passing them out at my schoolhouse to represent the tropical flower blocks in my new book.

My schoolhouse session!

JayBee Bear

Hi! I'm JayBee Bear and I'm traveling with Sandi.

Wake up blog!

Eyes fluttering open, limbs stretching out, yawning...time to wake up blog!

So busy, never enough days or hours. However, right now i am sitting in the airport waiting for my connection to Houston. On my way to fall market in Houston. So looking forward to this market. My second quilt book "square-agonals; 12 Easy Blocks" is being released.
I will be quite busy with demos and book signings and will be in the following booths, Landauer Publishing, Brewers, and Rockland industries, as well as a schoolhouse and Take&Teach.
I also will have my little friend with me, JayBee Bear.....I'll be the one with the blue streak in my hair.
So if interested, follow me over the next few days for my view and adventures at market.
