Ready
to Order!!New Years Eve Mystery,
Anyone???
Double Delight Mystery Has Started!!  I know it's nuts. This is the way my life is.......short notice, always on the go, always at the craziest time, Hey....let's do a mystery! I'm working on quilts for the next book, as you know, and there is one that I just KNOW you will love. This is a color controlled mystery so you can choose your palette. The quilt center finishes at approximately 63.5 X 76.5 . The colors I am using? Double pinks, shirtings, indigo blues, and a deep chocolate brown, and....some cheddar or gold! :cD Yes, I'm going to the strip bins first for my lights and my pinks and blues....they can be scrappy. The brown and the gold will be uniform yardage to pull every thing together. The Intro page and yardage amounts can be found HERE! You will find a link to part one at the bottom of that page, with each next clue being linked at the bottom of the previous page. You can take your time and work the mystery as fits your own schedule. Are you game? If you want to join in on the online-fun too (but be prepared for A LOT of email!) You can join my yahoogroups list HERE. The list has places to upload pics of fabric choices, projects in progress, and the list members are a great help to each other while working out the ins and outs of quilting projects! Come join us! And note..you can always set yourself to "digest format" or "no mail" and read the posts online if you don't want your inbox flooded :c) This is going to one of those mysteries where I post the steps as they are ready.....my life is going to get crazy starting mid January and who knows when it will slow down, so I can't plan it like "post one step every two weeks". It just doesn't work, but you know what? It isn't a race, and you can just go at your own pace. Leave it for 2 weeks if you want to, and come back to it. The mystery will remain online until it is time to publish the book, at which time it will be retired from online availability. The name of this quilt? DOUBLE DELIGHT! Couldn't you use some Double Delight in your life right now? Come on! You know you want to!  Dec 11, 2008:  Available on News Stands Now! This issue contains an
abbreviated article on the Scrap User's System as well as a pattern for
the Tropical Twist Quilt! It's very exciting for me to share this issue
with designers like Mark Lipinski and Scott Murkin, another North
Carolinian!

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!
