Well, it's about that time folks.
My new book, VINTAGE VIBE is shipping to stores any day now!
So, let's have some fun, shall we?
It's time for a VINTAGE VIBE Blog Tour!!!
I've got some really amazing quilty friends sharing different projects from the book every Tuesday and Thursday in November and December (except holidays). I hope you'll join in the fun!
I'm going to kick things off with the very first project, Skipper.

Skipper puts a little twist on the very traditional Flying Geese block. This quilt comes together quickly and it's perfect for beginners!
The fabric line I used in the book is called Out To Sea by Sarah Jane for Michael Miller Fabrics. The whole thing just kind of screams "boy" to me.
But what if we changed things up a bit?
I've been dying to see what this pattern would look like made up in some girly fabrics from my stash. And well, I think it works. Don't you?
I started making these the other day and I didn't want to stop! My little pile of Skipper Blocks kept growing and growing! Now, I'm just trying to decide if I need to make a whole other quilt...or just a table runner? Hmmm. Decisions, decisions...
So, as you can see, there's lots of fun to be had with VINTAGE VIBE.
This is just the beginning!
I do hope you'll tour around with me and the rest of my quilty friends
