Country Girls Tumbling Blocks Quilt-Along Coming in 2015

By reader request, the

Country Girl Tumbling Blocks Quilt-Along

that I did an interest query on in the above post,

is hopefully in the works for early next year.

I have had a reader write to me about the fact I mentioned this as 

a possibility for this summer.

Life and other commitments are happening and this is not happening this year.

I am sorry if this disappoints any of my readers. 

I have not had time to get the pattern together and get it tested.

My quilty muse has been working on this one more that my fingers have.

As soon as my quilty muse and I get it together 

I will post a request for testers.

With my upcoming eye surgery and recovery on schedule for the fall,

I am making quilty plans now for next year.

If you are hoping to make a quilt sooner than this will happen,

you will find my easy piecing, no "y" seams method for this block in 

My Tutorials

For my

Country Girl Tumbling Blocks Baby Quilt Pattern 

... stay tuned for more details!

At heart, I am a country girl!

A New Quilty Plan ~ and a Question for my Readers

Country Girl by Riley Blake Designs!

I am hatching a new quilty plan for these pretties!

I am designing and sewing a very special 

Baby Tumbling Blocks Quilt 

for a very special Baby Girl ...

This is Baby Girl snoozing on her Grampy's chest,

safe and sound and not a care in the world.

After I get my baby quilt together I was thinking to post 
a free tutorial of how I make this quilt.

Here is my Question for my Readers:

Do you think you might be interested in my posting this as a 

Quilt Along  ??

This would be a free quilt along, 

most likely in late July, 

that I would leave up on my blog afterward. 

Saying yes in no way obligates you to sew along.

This is just an interest poll.

If you think you would like to help by testing in late June or early July before I post it, please email me.  

I know by reading my blogger statistics that 

these three tutorials get the most visits ... 

Easy Tumbling Blocks Tutorial - Part 1 - Fabric and Cutting

Easy Tumbling Blocks Tutorial - Part 2 - Piecing and Sewing

Easy Tumbling Blocks Tutorial - Part 3 - Finishing Borders

I wrote up this tutorial to help an online friend who was a new quilter 

when she asked me how to sew this traditional pattern. 

At the time she wanted to make a quilt for a Christmas gift and was not ready to try " y seams."

 It was almost Christmas so I made this quilt  ...

Quilter's Christmas Party

The tutorial for my

Country Girl Tumbling Blocks quilt would use the above method

with cutting and sewing instructions for a baby/toddler size quilt.

So what do you say

 and The Cowboy Rode Away

Well, I guess I have two questions for my readers today ...

Next Question ... 

Music Player ... On?  or Off ??

Recently I realized that my music player may annoy some of my readers.

I have also seen a listing review of my blog that instructs visitors how to scroll to the bottom of my page to turn off the player. 

I do care about my guests. 

In my home when my friends and family come into the room, I usually turn my player off so we can talk
so I really should be as considerate for my online visitors,

I always have music playing when I sew or type and my personal player is playing now.

I love country music.

Today I decided to give The Cowboy one last play and to wave him off into the sunset.

Thanks, George, for all the songs. 

May you have a happy Sunday!

[ Edit:   I had really already decided it was time to turn the music off. Right now the player is still there at the bottom and would have to be turned on to play but I will be deleting this feature.

Just doing a little late spring cleaning here in the scrapatch and packing away some old stuff. ]
