Bloom Creek Quilts by Vicki Bellino. You may be familiar with Vicki's work -- she has a successful quilt pattern company, Bloom Creek. She also hosts a blog by the same name. And now she has published this charming book!
The book is full of beautiful projects including quilts, wall hangings, a table runner,
a pillow, and a tote bag.
The projects are all pieced, but many include applique' motifs, just enough to make the quilt visually pleasing, but not so much that it takes forever to finish your project.
Vicki has provided full-size applique' patterns, along with the instructions for
three different applique' techniques.
I'm sure you'll find plenty of projects that would look great in your own home.
Hey! Where did the cat go?
If you'd like to win your very own copy of Bloom Creek Quilts, all you have to do is guess
the number of buttons in the dish. The first person to correctly guess (or guess the closest)
will be the lucky winner.
I'll announce the winner Wednesday evening.
Good luck!
Kim
