Berry Pie, Quiltmaker Sept/Oct ’02	Ruff Patch, Quiltmaker May/June ’11	Rubber Duckie, Block #246, 100 Blocks Volume 3

• First Friday Show & Tell: We want to see the quilts you’ve made from Quiltmaker patterns, regular issues, 100 Blocks Volumes 1-3, Quiltmaker’s Quilting & Embroidery or from our website. The Quiltmaker Show & Tell Gallery is hosted on Quilter’s Club of America. Post your photos on the First Friday each month (or anytime during the month) for a chance to win prizes. Find instructions for posting on our website.

• Blog Giveaways: There are some active giveaways on our blog that aren’t related to 100 Blocks. There’s a chance to win one of five autographed copies of Bonnie Hunter’s newest book Scraps & Shirttails II. There’s also an opportunity to win some great Sulky thread.

• Like us on Facebook: Post comments, answer questions (look for the poll to tell us your favorite Quiltmaker pattern ever!), share photos at facebook.com/QuiltmakerMag.

• Patch Pals Collection: Every issue in 2011 features one of these delightful, cuddly pals. We’re seeing lots of photos of these fun animal quilts. View the Patch Pals collection (kits available). Three more patterns to be unveiled throughout 2011. See Denise’s post that shows how the borders are interchangeable.

Flower Baskets: Classic & Update from Quiltmaker’s May/June ’11 issue

• Classic/Update Patterns: Also in our 2011 issues we’re taking a classic pattern and then updating it in today’s fabric with technique updates where applicable. Explore more Quiltmaker 2011 issues on our website.

• Addicted to Scraps: Bonnie Hunter presents a scrappy block that implements her Scrap User’s System in every issue. Explore the Addicted to Scraps pages on our website for a setting idea with each block. Have you made something with one of Bonnie’s Addicted to Scraps blocks? We’d love to see them in the Quiltmaker Gallery (see First Friday Show & Tell above) or on our Facebook page.

All that and so much more packed into every Quiltmaker issue! If you want to make sure you don’t miss anything later this year, check out the Subscription Special Offers posted earlier this week.

Good news about shipping costs from Quilter’s Village: We listened to your concerns. Shipping costs have been reduced, plus we can now ship to international customers! We’re still “rearranging the furniture” on the new ShopQuiltersVillage website, but it is ready to take your orders securely!

Let me tell you a little bit about Bonnie. She’s a prolific quilter, a lot of fun and she makes great scrap quilts. She has a workable system for using her scraps (Scrap User’s System in Jan/Feb ’09) and for making one quilt while she’s working on another (Leaders and Enders in Jan/Feb ’08). If you ever have the chance to hear Bonnie speak, go! When I heard her speak, I sat there thinking “I can do this–I should do this–It’d be so simple to set up a system like hers.” She’s inspiring.

I’m so glad that we’ve been able to introduce Bonnie to QM readers and, in our July/Aug ’09 issue we’re starting a mystery quilt designed exclusively for us. It’s called Christmas Lights and part 1 is now available in the magazine.

Special Offer: If you’ve missed any of the previous Quiltmaker issues that feature Bonnie’s articles and patterns, we’ve got a Bonnie Hunter Special on sale now. You get 4 issues that feature Bonnie’s articles and patterns, including July/August ’09 to start the Mystery series all for $10.99.

Book Review + Giveaway: Bonnie is also the author of a book called Scraps & Shirttails: Reuse, Re-Purpose, Recycle! The Art of Quilting Green, published by Kansas City Star Books. This book is filled with Bonnie’s ideas to recycle everything from stash fabric to thrift store finds. Bonnie will help you tame your scraps and turn them into quilts, and the book has 12 fun patterns as well. Leave a comment mentioning your favorite quilt-related blog  by 12 noon Mountain time on Friday, June 19 and I’ll select 5 different people to win a copy of Bonnie’s book!
