It's for the Birds {McCalls Quilting Magazine}

The process of the 2010 McCalls Quilt Design Star Challenge has come to the end. One of the prizes for winning the challenge was to have Kathleens' quilt pattern published in McCalls Quilting magazine.

(McCalls Quilting magazine July/August 2011)

Yesterday we received our copy and let me tell you, those ladies at McCalls did a fabulous job of putting the pattern together.

First, they have a two page article about all of the finalists in the 2010 design star challenge, and their amazing quilts. 

Then on the next page they have Kathleens' quilt & pattern, "It's for the Birds"

The pattern is written very nicely and has so very detailed instructions.

Quilt kits and magazines are available through Seasons of Home 435-654-2844

I just have to tell you all one last time, thank you to everyone who supported and voted for my mom, Kathleen in this contest. She is still flattered daily by the support that so many have given to her.

Here are a few photos of the quilt, just in case you haven't had a chance to see it before. :)

Above, Kathleen likes to add extra details, like a tiny white piping.

Would you like to win a quilt? {Salute to Plaid}

Quiltmaker July/August 2011 issue rocks. 

For a couple of reasons, first, they are giving away a 3 fantastic Salute to Plaid quilts and more prizes. Click here to enter. 

Why do I like this quilt so much?

Because the quilts that you can win are designed by me! :)

Complete pattern is also available in this magazine and my favorite part, there are complete cutting directions for the Accucut GO!

Yes, I'm totally humbled that my picture and quilt I designed are really in this cute magazine!

Thanks so much Quiltmaker!

A little history about this quilt pattern. 

I fell in love with the LaPetite Ecole line by French General for Moda Fabrics last year. I just couldn't resist designing a quilt for this line. Salute to Plaid was the perfect fit.

But after seeing it in 3 different color-ways I think this quilt is fantastic in any color-way.
