Haven't Done This in Awhile

You're familiar with Lori Smith's patterns, right? Her company is From my Heart to Your Hands. A couple weeks ago, I was looking for the pattern for a quilt I saw at the last Thimbleberries Club meeting and I ended up ordering two different patterns from her website--she has wonderful designs using traditional quilt blocks.

Anyway, she was at quilt market when I placed my order and I guess she felt badly that it took awhile for her to get the order in the mail--not that it bothered me at all because Lord knows I have PLENTY to keep me busy! Along with my two patterns, though, she sent along a freebie for making me wait--


There are patterns for all nine small quilts in the one package. Each quilt finishes at 16" x 20". Are you interested in winning the pattern? I already have several of her mini quilt patterns and I think I might even have this one, so I'm willing to pass it on to a lucky someone. Unfortunately, I can only afford to mail the pattern to residents of the US or Canada. I'll randomly pick a winner on Sunday night and will post the winner's name on Monday's blog post. Just leave me a comment on this post, telling me you want to be entered.

If you click on the link where I mention Lori's pattern company above, it will take you to a page on her website showing some of her patterns. If you aren't familar with her stuff, take a look.

  60. Acckkk.....won't accept my comment, trying again. I usually stop by Lori's booth at Houston Festival each year. She is such a sweet and genuinely nice person. Her mini quilts are stunning....the piecing as well as the hand quilting. I am looking for a pattern for a doll quilt for my granddaughter's birthday this summer. This might just be the one. Several of these are definite possibilities.

  63. I love 16" x 20" quilts. I have a window in my front door and in the summer, the sun shines right in our eyes from that window! I've made a few 16 x 20 minis for this window and love changing them out for the seasons. A few new ones would be great! Thanks for the opportunity to win this pattern!
