Fabric Tuesday and Published!

I'm very excited and honored about today's post!!  I (Megan) had the opportunity to be a contributor in Martingale's new book Modern Quilts from the Blogging Universe.  It was such a fabulous experience!!!

There are so many amazing designers in this book I was humbled to be asked to participate.  So many that I look up to!  One of my favorite things about this book is that they left it up to each designer to interpret modern quilting.  Some really fun and unique quilt designs.

That is mine...yay!  I haven't seen this quilt in a while, it will be fun to get it back :) Here are a couple more of my favorites.

You can check the whole book out here.  

Martingale is offering an e-book giveaway!!  

Hooray!  Please leave a comment telling me what "modern quilting" means to you! 

Each designer is offering the giveaway today so please stop by their blogs to enter as well!  Found here.

This giveaway is now CLOSED

Big news!

A year ago Heather and I would not have thought we would be sharing this news with you today!  About last September we were contacted by some lovelies at Moda Bake Shop asking if we would like to be contributors in an upcoming book....um YES!!!  We had a short deadline to get some samples and sketches together and submit them for approval.  And they chose three of our projects!! Eeeek!!  The book is called Sweet Celebrations with the Moda Bake Shop Chefs:

The book is filled with awesome projects by way-more-awesome-than-us chefs for celebrations we all have year round, birthdays, holidays, back to school,etc..  I cannot wait to see the book in person!

So one October weekend Heather and I did something sneaky.  VERY sneaky.  Only five people knew about this until now.  Our mom, me, my husband, Heather and her husband.  I flew to Utah for the weekend and Heather and I crafted our hearts out!  She picked me up from the airport late at night, we hit a Walmart for essentials nowhere near any friends or family and headed to my parents.  Our parents were in England so we had their big beautiful home to ourselves and we got it good and messy.  With the aid of some Lifetime Original Movies we completed all of our projects for the book in less than 72 hours!  Not only did I not have any spare time to visit, but the book was top secret so we couldn't let anyone know I was in town!!

Here are our projects:

 Isn't that banner pillow Heather made darling??

Super sweet birthday hats.

And a sweet valentine's mailbox!!

There you have it!  We are so so so so excited :)
