Moda's Be My Neighbor - Block 5

Block #5 is a valentine house! Have you been thinking about who's living in each house as you make it?  I wonder who would be living in this cute house.
Download the pattern for block #5 here.

My fabric selection:

• House - Duchess
• Roof and Chimney - Rose
• Heart - Cherry
• Bird - Sunflower beak, Cobalt body & tail, Sky wing and a bit of Eggplant for the eye.

The pattern had a neat way of doing the chimney.  Follow the step by step diagrams and it will turn out great!

Inspiring!

Susan and I have just completed our 55th round of Mystery Weekend sessions - can you believe it??? We love both visiting with longtime friends and meeting new friends as we teach the workshops.  Who could ask for a better job?

We can't show you the new Mystery Quilt yet since folks are still working with our Mystery by Mail kits.  We can show you the pictures we snapped of the show and tell that participants brought to share with the group. Show and Tell is one of the best parts of Mystery Weekend for us.  It's always fun to see what past mystery quilters have completed since the previous session and we love seeing the special projects that our new mystery quilters bring to share.

We saw several quilts using the patterns from the most recent Mystery Weekends. We saw several versions of Gracie's Favorite and Star-Crossed. It's amazing how different they look with different fabric selections. The Gracie's Favorite pattern is available on our website.  Star-Crossed will be coming out as a pattern later this spring.

Enjoy our slide show!  We've labeled quilts in the show that are Glad Creations patterns. You'll be able to find the Glad Creations patterns in the pattern section of our website.   What fun!

Stripes!

Stripes! Our annual staff challenge quilt show is hanging in the second floor of the shop January 1 - 10, 2015.  We've put together a slide show so you can get a look at the quilts. Of course, if you can come and see them in person, all the better!

We started out planning quilts using striped fabric. As always, we're a creative bunch and like to broaden the rules.  Along the way someone says, "this quilt looks like stripes even though there is no stripe fabric. Does that count as a stripe quilt?"  Sure, why not.

Enjoy!

Mystery Weekend 54 - Show & Tell

November was a big Mystery month for us here at Glad Creations. We've just finished the in-shop workshops for our 54th Mystery Weekend!  We had 3 great groups of quilters working their way through the mystery clues, chatting with friends and sharing some of their completed projects.  Check out our new class schedule online.  The next Mystery sessions will be offered in March 2015.

Show and Tell is one of the best parts of Mystery Weekend for us.  It's always fun to see what past mystery quilters have completed since the previous session and we love seeing the special projects that our new mystery quilters bring to share.

We saw several quilts using the patterns from the most recent Mystery Weekends, Gracie's Favorite, Connect the Dots and Little Trips.  It's so fun to see how all of the different fabric selections have turned out.

Enjoy our slide show!  We've labeled quilts in the show that are Glad Creations patterns.  Of course, there are no pictures of the newest mystery quilt since we have a number of quilters working on it through our by-mail version.  You'll be able to find the Glad Creations patterns in the pattern section of our website.   What fun!
