Happy Shopping!

I'm Teaching at Primitives Of The Midwest!

My thanks to everyone for your comments.  It was very fun and interesting to read about favorite events held at your local shops.  Some are very inventive and creative and you can certainly see why they're a favorite.

Five random comments were chosen to receive a complimentary Autumn On Maple Lake patterns.  

They are.....

Robin.......My favorite LQS has a once monthly sit and sew. It is open to all, just bring a project you want to work on or if you are having a problem with a block or a section in a class the owners are more than happy to assist. The best part about this lovely shop is it is within walking distance of my home! 

Linda......Fantastic colors and perfect pattern! My LQS hosts a BOM where for a minimal investment we receive 2 "starter" fabrics (this year is 10" x 12") and a pattern for a quilt block. We watch the demo and go home to add our own fabrics to make a 12" block. Everyone's quilt is different as the only requirements are that each of the starter fabrics must be in the block and that there are as many pieces in the block as the pattern has - no cutting a 3" square if the pattern calls for HST! It is a great learning experience as we increase our skills over the year with progressively more challenging patterns as well as learn about color, value and texture while creating unique blocks. 

Esther....Fall is my most favorite season and your quilt is absolutely gorgeous. Would love the pattern and fabric! I am very fortunate to have my LQS just a few miles from my home. The owners are great ladies and always coming up with fun things to do. To name just a few: once a month we have sample (block) club and today I'm going to "Sit & Stitch". They make the coffee/tea and we sit, stitching away and chatting, too! Great fun with a wonderful bunch of quilting buddies. Thank you, Pam, for all you do and share in the quilting world!

Bonnie....beautiful pattern and fabrics, Pam. being Canadian, I am partial to Maple Leaves. I would love to win a copy of this pattern. Thanks for sharing. 

Gloria....Such a beautiful quilt! Thanks for the giveaway! Loving Stitches, my LQS, is fantastic! This past year their tech/repairman held a class on machine maintenance and troubleshooting. I am so glad I took advantage of it. Invaluable! 

Please email your mailing address to me at Pam@HeartspunQuilts.com and I'll have your pattern in the mail for you!

Autumn On Maple Lake Is Here!

It's always so exciting when all the work has been done and I can finally release a new pattern.

My new pattern, Autumn On Maple Lake, using all the fabrics in the On Maple Lake (for Marcus Fabrics of course!) collection, is quilted and bound!  

My dear friend, and quilter extraordinaire, Ronda quilted my quilt.  LOVE!

Another dear friend, Debbie, pieced the quilt for me.  She does just a fantastic job and I could not be happier...nor could I possibly keep up with all of this myself.  

You know me and photography....I usually can't take a photo capturing the real colors of the quilt, but I think these pictures do a pretty good job.  

I wanted this quilt to be a burst of fall color and I am so happy with the way it all turned out.

I simply adore the main print in this collection.  

I wanted it to be subtle, and have some of the fall colors in it, but also a print that could be used in a quilt that wasn't fall at all.  I think I succeeded.  

I also thought you'd get a kick out of what the original antique print looks like. 

 Maple Lake is a real place near my home.  It's man made, nestled within a huge Forest Preserve area.  There's a woody trail to walk that surrounds the lake.  For many years when I was a kid, and when the leaves were falling, and in plentiful supply on the ground, my entire family...including aunts, uncles, cousins and grandma's would go there for a picnic.  All of us kids would roll around in all the leaves and play, eat great food, and everyone would take that leafy walk around Maple Lake before packing up to go home.  The tall trees were just filled with magnificent colors, the air clean and crisp, making for memories to last a lifetime.  It was my inspiration for this collection and for the four quilts I designed to go with it.  

It's funny to be talking about fall when spring is well on its way....but in the world of fabric, the seasons have their own timeline.  Lucky for us, too, because if we start working on these fall quilts now, they will be ready in time for those new leaves just now budding, to fall once again.

The On Maple Lake fabric collection is being delivered to your LQS right now.....so go shopping to see all the fabrics in person!  Many shops have ordered the pattern, too, so you can buy the fabrics & the pattern to make your very own Autumn On Maple Lake quilt.

If your LQS doesn't carry the pattern, you can order it here...but, please DO support your LQS!

I happen to have extra Autumn On Maple Lake patterns here (teehee) and would love to give away a few of them!

So.....leave a comment on my blog telling me about a favorite event you have attended at your local quilt shop.  I'll choose a few winners on Tuesday.  

I'm sorry, but...to be fair to everyone, I cannot accept email entries.  International readers are more than welcome to leave a comment!  Can't wait to hear from you!
