- Which fabric was hard to part with? They are all lovely!
First off, I would love to welcome you to my blog. You must be visiting from Quiltmaker's Quilty Pleasures blog for the 100 Blocks blog tour.
I would like to introduce myself just in case this is your first time visiting. I am Stacey, I live in Maine with my wonderful supportive husband (getting ready to celebrate our 12th wedding anniversary in a couple weeks!), and our 4 crazy kids. We own our own Custom Woodworking and Cabinetry business, and I spend my spare time quilting. I taught myself to quilt almost 5 years ago, and have been going on since. I love to create, and make something beautiful! I have been working hard to make something of myself, but it can be extremely hard sometimes.
Being featured in Quiltmaker's 100 blocks Issue is a major dream come true for me. And to be part of something that so many amazingly talented people/quilters have also been a part of is just WOW! I am going to continue being creative, and hope to be even more so.
My block is called Pinwheel Paws, and it is Block #452, and featured on page 49. This block below was my first one I submitted, but they contacted me and asked it I could make on more contrasting. So that is the second picture below. I love them both, and I hope to be able to make a large quilt with this design soon. (and also using some very special fabric I cannot seem to part with).
I hope you like them.
Ok, so now, for a giveaway! The wonderful people over at Quiltmaker magazine are generously giving away a complimentary issue of this magazine to one of my readers! And I am going to give away a second issue and include a pdf bundle set of my patterns (Stripes and Giggles, Stars and Strips, Castles, and my Country Crow Wall Hanging). All you need to do to enter is become a follower of my blog, and leave me a comment saying Hi, and where you are from. Easy right? I hope you come back, and Thank you for stopping by, I really appreciate you sharing in this accomplishment with me.

Hey ! I'm from a beautiful valley in Utah with big mountains all around, a smaller farming community of about 18,000 at the south end of a busy valley, so close to everything. Nice block.... Bear paws are so fun and traditional but fun to tweak like you have....I need to try that! I found a book awhile back "Traditional Blocks with a Twist" that has some tweaks on everyday blocks, which combines with yours would be awesome!
I'll follow you on my Google blog.

That crow wall hanging does sound interesting.
