Yes, you heard that right! I have some extra Block a Day calendars that I would love to give away and you could win won of those. These are now out of print and they are at a premium. This will be a random drawing (USA residents only) which I will make next Monday April 17, to be announced on Tuesday April 18.
Yes, a GIVEAWAY of this awesome Block a Day calendar.
I have a winner: Brenda A. of Oregon. Congratulations, Brenda!
This is perpetual (ie, not tied to any year) and has so many great ideas. This is limited to USA residents only because it is so heavy that I have to use Priority Mail (or you can opt to pay postage if you are international, if you win.)

Thanks for stopping by. More blocks next Sunday!
I have so enjoyed seeing all these beautiful blocks as well as so wonderfully photo'ed to highlight them. So hard to pick a favorite and I even went back to view them all. One that just made me say ' have to make that one' was the 8 Hands Round.
ReplyDeleteHope of Hartford is a great block in my book.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blocks! I especially like the Five Patch Frame and the Hen and Chicks Quilt!
ReplyDeletebest of luck everyone certainly well worth winning I love mine
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the Hens and Chicks block made into such a cute quilt--we have chickens, so I'm extra-fond of hen-themed quilts.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway; that's quite generous of you.
Love them all, but Adore the Apr 10 Footstool - Gorgeous! Covering a huge vase this week in that pattern with purple batiks on a black background, Thanx for the inspiration! Liz from Las Vegas
ReplyDeleteAll the blocks are wonderful, especially Crown of Thorns. Great giveaway. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHope of Hartford and Five Patch Frame are two that I really like. Maybe because I am so ready to see Spring flowers. Both are very doable. Thank you.

ReplyDeleteHow nice of you to have a give away. Some one will be very lucky. I think they are all beauties, but my favorite block so far is your "Hope of Hartford" block, I love the colors that you used with this block. Thanks for your generosity and for sharing your work each week.ggerbert
ReplyDeleteI like Hope of Hartford. My youngest granddaughter is attending New Haven Univ. and the name reminds me of her in CT.
ReplyDeleteI really like your March 1 Alabama block. I was born in Alabama, but I love the movement the blocks together would give a whole quilt.
ReplyDeleteBirds in the Corner is one of my favorites. But the list goes on and on. Thanks for a chance at your great giveaway. Happy Palm Sunday.
ReplyDeleteHen and Chicks is my favorite. Would love to win. Thank you for the chance. Barb
ReplyDeleteOh My!! I am in love with the hens and chicks.
ReplyDeleteI do like the Goshen Garden block!
ReplyDeleteI love the Footstool block! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteAll of the blocks have been terrific! Instead of going back and looking at past emails, I will choose Hen and Chicks from this one. Thanks for sharing these with us.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet give away! I like the Goshen Star block on this post. Great photo shoot! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHope of Hartford. great give a way
ReplyDeleteSo inspiring to see the blocks made in perfect settings. Have wanted to make the Palm Block for a long time. Now would be good. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI really like "hope of Hartford" but also an older one called "Royal Star" I made a nice quilt using royal star a while ago, gave it to a friend from England. I thought the name "royal" was perfect for her.
ReplyDeleteSo many- so beautiful! Hope of Hartford really caught my eye!
ReplyDeleteI love the Goshen Star. It's an interesting block.
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed all of the blocks, but the Millstone really caught my eye. Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteLove all the blocks but the Hope of Hartford really caught my eye.
ReplyDeleteAfter reviewing past posts my favorites (yes, 2) so far are from this week: Footstool (LOVE LOVE LOVE those zebra stripes!!) and Goshen Star (my dad served on the USS Goshen in WWII). Thanks again for sharing these blocks each week and the inspiration that comes with them. I have enjoyed seeing them in their various settings, and look forward to trying out some project ideas after I finish my 2 Expo class projects. (janeherbst at roadrunner dot com)
ReplyDeleteSew hard to pick just one block. Every week you show us new blocks and I love them all. Sew I am going to plead the 5th. I cannot decide on just one favorite. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE "Square Deal". Thank you so much for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteBeing a chicken owner, I LOVE the Hens and Chicks!
ReplyDeleteLove the Crown of Thorns block from earlier in the month.
ReplyDeleteI like the Hope of Hartford 10 in block. I think it is the colors that you used that made it appealing to me.
ReplyDeleteOh exciting!! I would LOVE to win this calendar! I have a thing for stars so my favorite block you just introduced is Hope of Hanford, not to mention who wouldn't like a little bit of hope!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite block is Eight Hands Around. Sewing, laughing, and playing with friends is the big fun part of quilting.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely like the Hope of Hartford!
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful blocks! I love the possibilities of the five patch frame to showcase favorite fabrics.
ReplyDeleteHome Circle for Feb. 10, is my favorite, maybe because the hexagon shape fascinates me and this one is unique. The post with the Jan. 26th block made me smile. My neighbor is from Australia and loves "Vegemite."
ReplyDeleteI would have to choose the footstool. Love this block and also love the footstool itself. Would love to put my feet up on there and do some hand sewing and relax.
ReplyDeleteAll of the photos are so clever, so it's impossible to choose just one! Chicago Geese is up there though!
ReplyDeleteI'm having a hard time choosing! I couldn't pick just one, so Sawtooth Pinwheel and Square Deal. Thanks for the great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteYou know what I have liked and look forward to seeing is the setting in which you place each of your blocks. VERY unique..... I love all your blocks and hope to make them one day very soon.
ReplyDeleteI love the April 9, 5 patch frame by Patricia Bryant of Australia. It reminds me of a postcard with beautiful bluebonnets, our Texas state flower. Hope I win. I personally own the calendar, but my sister has just gotten into quilting and I would like to gift it to her. She's my big sister, by 2 years. Love your newsletter and your ideas.
ReplyDeleteFootstool is my choice!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite so far is the Double X from April 7th. I have your 2017 calendar and have my fingers crossed to win this one. Good luck to everyone!
ReplyDeleteLove the Hope of Hartford block but yhere are so many wonderful ones.
ReplyDeleteI love the 8" Sawtooth Pinwheel from Feb 24. Adore the colors and the HST's.
ReplyDeleteFinding a favorite is hard! I like the Footstool block the best from today's post - I like the block itself and the staging gave me a good chuckle!
ReplyDeleteI like the Hope of Hartford.

I have been enjoying these blocks so much all these weeks, but I really like the hens and chicks from this week. I like the original block and how it has been incorporated into a quilt by Patricia.
ReplyDeleteI like the footstool. Triangles are my thing!
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed her creativity with the photo settings--especially the way she displayed this week's Hen and Chicks.
ReplyDeleteFive Patch Frame is my favorite. I really like blocks that can feature a special fabric.
ReplyDeleteI actually love the Hope of Hartford. I love the colors and the simplicity.
ReplyDeleteHope of Hartford
ReplyDeleteThe chickens!!
ReplyDeletesince I am partial to stars....I vote for Goshen star this week.

Hen and chicks. Drhodes9@cox.net
ReplyDeleteIt feels like every one is nicer than the one before! But today I am especially charmed by the hen and chicks. Maybe because my friends just picked up their new flock yesterday. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm partial to stars and baskets, so George Washington Star from week 8 would be a starter, followed by Hope of Hartford and Fruit Basket to make some great quilts!
ReplyDeleteHello Debbie! I had to go back and look at all of the blocks to see if I could pick a favorite. This was a very difficult task! I was also extremely disappointed in myself, I missed quite a few of the posts or did not comment. Not like me at all. So therefore, I was really glad that I did go back and look. I finally settled on TWINKLE STAR the January 28 block! Being totally honest though, there are so many that I loved or adored and would absolutely have a blast making that I am praying already that my name will be the one drawn! Thank you for sharing these great blocks that Patricia made and displays so wonderfully and that you designed for us and are now having this great give away opportunity! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteOcean Waves is a real favorite....although they are all wonderfully done and so joyfully displayed.
ReplyDeletelove the running chicken
ReplyDeleteI love hens And chicks
ReplyDeleteThe Five Patch Frame, Love the flowers..Nancy
ReplyDeleteI like the Goshen Star.
ReplyDeleteI like the Footstool block.
ReplyDeleteI loved the five-patch frame and could see using that for a variety of novelty prints.
ReplyDeleteThe Footstool block grabbed my attention this time.
ReplyDeleteI've always had a soft spot for pinwheel blocks, so Hope for Hartford is my favorite block, but they are all so lovely!
ReplyDeleteThe Hope of Hartford looks like a block you could use for just any season and any color combo would be gorgeous! I have to say that one is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed seeing all the daily blocks you have done. I really like the Five Patch Frame.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome prize! I am fascinated by triangles and all the ways you can design with them, so the footstool is one of my favorites. Thank you
ReplyDeleteI love hope and Hartford!
ReplyDeleteI like the five patch frame. I enjoy seeing the block every week

ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing Goshen Star. Thank you, peterstankovich@comcast.net
ReplyDeleteDon't enter me, as I bought the calendar. Twice. LOL Well worth the money. I really love the Goshen Star, hers and ones I've made.
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed seeing all of these blocks & the way they have been photographed. My favorite today was the Hope of Hartford.
ReplyDeleteauntie.clark@gmail.com
I love, love the little Hens and Chickens!
ReplyDeleteI do like the Hope for Hartford block, but thought turning a block into a footstool cover was a fabulous idea!!
