| Comments
From the Game |
| I enjoyed
the button game. It was a reasonable
number of buttons to find. Other
search games require too much
time and I don't participate in
them. I even purchased two patterns
today. Thanks! - Ja R, USA |
| Success on
my second search. Thanks a lot
for the hint Cindy, now I'll just
keep my fingers crossed for the
draw. I'm really enjoying looking
at the designs you have and making
future plans for some perhaps.
- Sue C, Australia |
| What a fun
quick game. Thank you so much
for doing this fun adventure.
Thanks again for the opportunity
to participate and I must say
I have had a ball and really like
the way you have it all set up
so that we can go directly to
the sites of the designers. -
Bette D, USA |
| Yea! I found
them all....now I can get off
the computer and back to my sewing
machine !! LOL Good Luck hunting
the buttons everyone. Will keep
my fingers crossed that everyone
wins a special prize. Thanks for
the fun game. :-) - Kay V, USA |
| Thank you.
The game has been very helpful
in discovering new patterns and
I have ordered a few already.
- Phyllis L, USA |
| I found all
the buttons, it was fun! Thanks
for a great game. I fell in love
with some patterns, great use
of marketing! - Ann W, USA |
| I found
all of them -- they were tricky!!!!
Just like a button that gets lost,
it doesn't ever want to get found!
That last one was hidden well!
But I found it!!! Thanks for offering
the suggestions!!! - Debra B,
USA |

organizing game !!!! I really
liked the challenge. - Miet V,

| Thanks for
the hint, I found it!...I had
actually done an earlier search
for cat, kitten, animals, pets
and critters....I must have missed
it the first time, or thought
I had it already....great patterns,
and a fun way to practice the
searching! - Anne V, USA |
| Hi Cindy....no
problem with me. I found ALL the
buttons. As I scrolled through
the "designers'" listings,
I got ideas of key words to search
for....the last button took a
while to find. - Cheryl S, USA |
| Thank you
for helping me out!!! - Linda
M, USA |

| Call
Me! |
 |
| Have
you seen a teenager lately without
a cell phone attached to an ear?
Or do you hear the tap, tap, tap,
of the keys sending a text to
one of a million friends? Those
were my thoughts as I began the
design process of my new quilt,
“Call Me!”. |
| I wanted
to design a quilt with today’s
youth in mind. Initially, I was
going to make a quilt with a hopscotch
design, that was until hubby mentioned
no one plays hopscotch anymore!
Of course, I thought, they play
with cell phones…and so the
light bulb clicked and “Call
Me!” was the result.
It could have just as easily been
“Text Me!”,
or just about anything that would
fit on the screen. |
|
Simple, graphic, web based
icons fall within the border;
however changing the icons to
personalize the quilt would
make it even more special. Does
your teen/tween like a certain
sport, or animal etc.? One of
my quilt testers turned the
solid blocks of the border into
pockets for her granddaughter’s
hair essentials and anything
else she needed to keep.
|
|
This quilt is mostly piecing
with a small amount of appliqué.
I just zig zag the edges of
this fusible appliqué
quilt and it’s ready to
go. Hope you enjoy it.

Me pattern at

| Gardener's
Delight |
 Are
you a gardener? Maybe a patio
garden or full sized estate vegetable
and flowers gardens? Our newest
pattern, Gardener’s Delight
will be published starting in
the May/June issue of Ruby,
the women’s ezine. Each issue
for the next 8 issues will feature
one of the blocks starting with
the tulip block. The last issue
will give border instructions
and the photo of the finished
and quilted project. It would
make a great throw or wall hanging! |
|
 The
pattern features four flower
blocks-one for each season!
Then if you like using landscape
fabrics use grass, stones, sky
and wood grain fabrics in the
quilt. You can find all of these
fabrics at www.quiltshops.com
if your local shop doesn’t
carry them. In each ezine issue
will be my finished block, instructions,
templates and a block design.
The first issue in May will
have the yardage for the entire
quilt which measures 47"
x 67". To subscribe to
Ruby magazine
