Patchwork Party 2006

Have you heard about the Patchwork Party? It's twelve quilt shops from across the US, all selling a block (pattern and fabric) using the new Maywood Studio "Willowberry Winter" fabric line. All the blocks were designed by Marti Michell. Go to patchworkparty2006.com to visit all twelve shops.

Wow... 12 beautiful sampler blocks... now what???!!! Well... each of the Patchwork Party quilt shops is offering a setting kit (fabric and pattern) for sale. Each store designed their own kit and it's up to you which one floats your boat the most!

My favorite setting is an easy one! BLOCK AROUND THE CLOCK was designed by The Happy Zombie (yes, me) for Anna Lena's. I also did the PatternSmithing (it's very easy to follow and understand- more pictures/less words). You can purchase the setting kit (fabric and pattern) here or by clicking on the quilt. Look for more info about the Patchwork Party in the Sept/Oct 2006 issue of Fons & Porter.
