The Art of the Quilt Calendar 2012 - Starring Alethea Ballard!
The Art of the Quilt Calendar 2012 – Starring Alethea Ballard!

There is so much going on I don’t know where to start. Charge up your laptops and buy extra coffee this weekend because you’ve got a lot of blogs to read!

First, my new calendar has hit the shelves! I got a copy at Pacific International Quilt Festival yesterday. (I’m sure someone will send me free copies from the publisher very soon!)

It’s GREAT! I am Miss March, Miss April AND Miss August – hot!

Yes, Three months of Maverick Quilts.

It’s very cool: all modern quilts from great quilt designers like Weeks Ringle & Bill Kerr, Emily Ceir, Cherri House, Liz Aneloski and Camille Rosekelley.

AND it has a pocket in the back with full instructions for each of the thirteen quilts! Such a great idea.  So you get 13 cool quilt designs for only $14.95 – a bargain at twice the price.

OK SOOO… I’m up for the Bar Bloggers Quilt Hopalong Cassidy TOMORROW to show my cool 12″ block tomorrow, and I’ve made a FUN design. Please hold!

AND now some images from PIQF. A photo tells a thousand words – or at least about 927, so here you are…
