Carolina Christmas
~A Quiltville Mystery!~   Bring in the Holiday Spirit by sewing through the season!! The quilt center measures an ample 82" X 82" before borders! This is a "limited edition" mystery, as the quilt I am making will be appearing in a future book. If you start this project, you will need to follow along and print out the instructions as they are revealed. The project will be available on the Quiltville.com website until June 1, 2010 when it will be retired. Though I am making this quilt using fabrics from recycled clothing, you can use anything you would like! Not in the mood for a quilt in Christmas colors? Choose any 3 complimentary colors and add a background fabric to it! I will be posting the first challenge the day after Thanksgiving! So on Friday, November 27th, be watching the Quiltville.com website, or my blog for the link to the first clue! You can also join my "announcement only" email list, Quiltville@yahoogroups.com and receive an email in your inbox when each step is posted. If you like to participate on a list with lots of chatter from other quilters also participating in this mystery from around the globe, our other list, Quiltvillechat@yahoogroups.com might be the list for you! I do hope you plan to play along! Turn on some holiday music (Only AFTER Thanksgiving in my house!) make a cup of tea or cocoa, and quilt in the Holidays with us! Click here for Fabric Requirements and other info!~  Nov 6, 2009: I am breathing a sigh of relief as "Adventures With Leaders & Enders" is almost ready to go to print! There is still some nailing down of the actual title and subtitle going on, but I think we will get there in time. Writing a book is like giving birth! Sometimes joyful (okay most of the time) with lots of anticipation and excitment, but sometimes a bit painful as you give something up you have invested so much time in to the hands of editors and publishers who know more about marketing than I do, and hense...want to rework my baby! Some more big news: Be watching for the 2010 releases of Quiltmaker Magazine! In every issue I will be running a column with a block idea on using scraps from your Scrap User's System! There should be lots there to keep you sewing up those scraps into beautiful quilts! As we move into the holidays, I'd like to take this time to express my gratitude for your support, friendship and inspiration over the past 15 years since this website has been up and running. I am definitely enjoying the journey, and I hope you are too! Best Stitches!
You
are welcome to make quilts from these patterns for yourself, your
family, friends, guild fundraisers and raffles, and most of all,
charities! You may make quilts from these patterns to sell for a profit
(No mass production though) or to teach
a class*.
But please, no photocopying, or reproducing and packaging and marketing the pattern instructions with the intent to make a profit by selling them. Just because they are free here for your use, doesn't make it legal to use them in that way. When in doubt, email me and ask. Be kind and keep the creative spirit of quilting alive and give credit where credit is due. *If you are teaching any of these designs as a class, In lieu of having to purchase a pattern, I would love for each of your students to make me a block of whatever quilt you are teaching to be used in charity quilts! They may also include a 4.5" signature square to be included in the back of the quilts. Together we can make a difference! If you are hosting a swap of blocks from Quiltville, would everyone consider making one extra block and sending them to me with a siggie square? I'd love to know who you are! (That goes for any of you who find this site valuable as a quilter! Feel free to make an extra block of whatever you are making! I'll be sure they are made into quilts and given to those in need, No time to make a block? An FQ will do! :c) (This is just a suggestion, not mandatory!) Most of all...HAVE FUN and enjoy the Quilting Journey! ***Important info for Shops and Teachers*** Patterns
found on this site must NOT be sold.....They must be provided for free
to your students, and everything you print and hand out to your
students must include my copyright and website address.
I recently gave permission to a shop to USE my Double Delight Mystery, not intending to give them permission to charge for the pattern. My understanding is that they are charging a fee for the pattern as part of a kit as well as monthly fees to belong to the "club." In giving permission to the shop, I never implied that they could charge for the use of this pattern. The patterns found on this site are free. I want to be sure from now on that anyone who teaches, be it an individual or a shop....knows that they may USE the patterns, but may not CHARGE (beyond the cost of making copies to hand out) for something that I have offered to the quilting world as a gift.
