Wanna sneak a peek in the magazine?
My copies arrived yesterday, and I have not stopped jumping in excitement!
I will be drinking my tea from this puppy for awhile I suspect..
Yep, all 100 blocks are on it, including my little purple one on the top left..
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a button this humongous! My daughter thinks it’s pretty cool *grin*
The juicy table of contents..
The instructions for My Easter Dress block is on page 34.
There is a designer gallery on page 18, showcasing some of the projects that were made using the blocks from the magazine..
It’s a substantial issue, stuffed to the gills with block designs. All the the pattern templates come printed in what looks like a single sheet – folded a billion times – stapled in the centre of the magazine.
The blocks are organized in categories, with the section you’re in highlighted by a richer color:
I’ve already found some faves. I’ve always wanted to try fusible bias strips:
And this one is just so darn cheerful!
I’m pretty sure it’s on newstands on May 10th, and if I didn’t already have mine I’d be stalking the store hourly …
So jealous! I’ve been stalking the magazine aisle at the local store. Congrats on having a block in there!
Hi, I have been waiting to find this magazine I keep checking every time I go to A store! I cant wait to get it, its just to bad there wasn’t some way to order that mug in the magazine I bet it would be A big seller! Anyway Congratulations on the great news! I love the shoes anyway I would love to make that as A wall hanging, as soon as I get that book.
Take Care

Can’t wait to see it, Sonja – congratulations!!
huraaay!!! so exciting! i saw the magazines for sale at chapters yesterday – fyi for everyone who’s waiting impatiently!
i won a copy on the blog tours (two, actually!), so i’ll be stalking my mail box waiting for it. if i get impatient enough, i might go buy one!
I saw it today at the IGA – I can’t wait for you to autograph mine!! Congratulations — this is sooo cool!
I’m on my way to Chapters this morning. Thanks for the heads up. It looks like an excellent edition. I’ve been practicing my paper piecing. I can’t wait to give it a try and the 2 other patterns that I purchased from you.
Ohh I want an autograph too – congrats – off to search for a copy of the mag!
It’s great to share your thrill. Thank-you for taking the trouble to show us the mag, and there is nothing to compare with hands on..I love getting a magazine to hold. Digital is great but it lacks something. Congratulations, your block is delightful. Thanks again for sharing.
I LOVE the mug! My friend, Konda Luckau from Moose on the Porch, has a block in the new 100 quilt blocks issue. Where can I buy a mug for her and one for me?
Thanks!

Thank-you so much everyone for you awesome comments!! *hugs*
Nettie – the mug is a special gift to all the designers. I don’t think they’re actually for sale, but Konda should have one already š
