Giveaway comments needed!

Garden Guest Pillow
I decided to giveaway this new pattern along with the "Grand Old Flag" kit. This pillow turned out so dang cute I just needed to share it.

I can't believe Fall Market is this week. We have been finishing up patterns and packing. I have the best helpers. One of my helpers is my proof reader. After 3 of us read a pattern and didn't find a mistake Dottie found 2 mistakes. Wow. She is the best! I try to keep my patterns simple to understand for any level of quilting experience.
Paulette will you please send me your address: geoffsmompatterns@gmail.com
You are the winner of the Garden Guest Pillow pattern. You picked the winning name and I love it!
We will continue to post on our way to Market. We are looking forward to the trip as well as the destination. Thank you for dropping by on such a great day!

Market Is Coming Soon

"Carry On"
This is a new pattern called "Carry On" using "Floral Gatherings" and "Floral Gatherings Shirtings" designed by Primitive Gatherings for Moda Fabrics.  It was great working with such wonderful fabrics.
(P.S. Gayle, if you are reading this, you are the lucky winner of the "Carry On" pattern.  We loved the name.  Will you please email your address?  It is the first pattern hot off the press! geoffsmompatterns@gmail.com).  Enjoy my friends!

"Cherish Home" Journal

"On The Farm" picture.
The barn wood frame can be purchased at Hobby Lobby.

"Circling Stars"

Most fabric in this runner was made from using "Grant Park" designed by Minick and Simpson by Moda Fabrics.  I had a great time in Brazil and I will put pictures here later. I will tell you about my new Brazilian friends.

Been Busy How About You?

 
This is a new row quilt in progress. Thought I would give you a quick peek. I design as I go. I put things on my design wall and make a few blocks to audition. I love the saying on this. I found it on my trip to The Woolen Willow in West Virginia.
"Be True, To Yourself, Your Word, Your Friends!"
So I think I will name this row quilt "Be True". There will be some pieced and some appliqued blocks.

 
I am working on another picture and it will be called "On The Farm"

 
"For The Guest Room".  I love the textures in this new quilt. Lots of plaids and woven fabrics were used to make this one.
 
I leave for Brazil on Wednesday and I am so excited. My girlfriend has asked me to speak to about 150 women about quilting. That should be interesting since I don't speak Portuguese, but as we all know quilters speak with pictures and their hands. Geoff is more than capable of running the business while I am gone. He is busy getting patterns written and he seems to be "happy" doing it. lol
 
Thanks for stopping by. I promise to have a great giveaway when I return. We all need another "gifty".
