Kimono Day

Today is April 16 and the block featured in my new calendar is the Kimono. Wanna see?

Tiny Kimono

Oh, dang! How'd that slip in? But, isn't this cute? I made a 4 x 6 postcard about 20 years ago and even found some sandals I could cut out and attach.

Here's a quilt made using the calendar block. I just gave this to a dear friend last week. She was SO delighted!

Bamboo Garden Kimono quilt

The block in the calendar is 12" x 14" (The blocks in the quilt above are larger. )Yes, they are 12" x 14"! I just checked.

 And you can get the pattern for the quilt above in my Etsy store.

The calendar is due to hit your local quilt shops and Amazon by mid June. It is published by C&T Publishing - check out their Facebook page to see all sorts of other gorgeous craft book offerings. (Evidently their page was shut down for 2 years and they had to start all over again! What a shame)

New Block a Day Calendar

The Kimono block is easy and quick. And it's NOT square! But, so what?!

Check out the C&T site - you can find them on Instagram and also YouTube. They have LOTS of videos on YouTube. (I am not a YouTube user; I just discovered this yesterday). But I am an Instagram user and have begun putting info about my calendar there.

Have a lovely day!
