June, 2009:
24 Hours of Booty!!  My DH Dave and I recently
accepted the challenge of participating in 24 Hours of
Booty. 24 Hours of Booty conducts annual 24 hour cycling events, which
increase public awareness and support for cancer research and programs,
while raising funds to support the LANCE
ARMSTRONG FOUNDATION and local
cancer organizations.
Any amount
you can give, great or small, helps in the fight against
cancer. I greatly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on
my progress!
I am asking you to help by supporting my fundraising efforts with a donation. Your tax-deductible gift will make a real difference in the cancer community. It is faster and easier than ever to support me as a 24 Hours of Booty participant - you can make your donation online by simply clicking on the links below. If you would prefer, you can also send your tax-deductible contribution to the address listed by printing out this form. For the past 14 years I have provided quilt patterns on this website free of charge. If you find this site to be beneficial to you as a quilt maker, I ask that you please consider making a pledge to help fight cancer as a way to say "Thanks!" for all you find here. If you can spare even $10, please think of someone you know who is living with cancer daily and all that they go through. Your donation can help. If you know someone with cancer, PLEASE donate. Your continued support is necessary to help find a cure for this disease. June, 2009:  On News Stands Now! Quiltmaker July/Aug 2009 With this issue we begin our 3 part easy mystery, Christmas Lights! The quilt finishes at a nice lap/throw size and will finish with the Nov/Dec issue, just in time for the holidays! I just got a great email from June, the editor at Quiltmaker. She writes: "I wanted to let you know that I've got a live posting about Christmas Lights, a Bonnie Hunter Offer, and a giveaway of your books! I hope you have a chance to LINK back to us!" The link will take you to Quiltmaker Magazine's Blog, Quilty Pleasures (Love the name!) where there are some really nice compliments of the time I spent at Quiltmaker and the offices at CKMedia last July. Leave a comment on the blog by noon on Friday, June 19th, and they will select 5 people to win a free copy of my book Scraps & Shirttails! What's not to like about that?  There is also a special offer of a 4 issue bundle: Purchase the July/August 2009 issue of Quiltmaker to start Bonnie Hunter’s exclusive Christmas mystery series and get three additional Quiltmaker magazines also featuring Bonnie. You’ll find three of Bonnie’s patterns plus the articles Scrap-User’s System and Leaders & Enders along with many more patterns and techniques in each issue. This 4-issue bundle is only $10.99!

In the future, to avoid
confusion, I believe the mysteries will be called CHALLENGES instead,
because it is impossible to keep a mystery unseen with so many blogs
and pictures floating around out there. Chances are , if you join us 3
weeks late, you've already seen the finished product! Sound good to
you? It does to me!I have been asked so many times
how I plan my scrap quilts. I took several answers and thoughts
and put them together for you to check out. Click the link above!
Yes, that's our Double Delight Mystery center on my friend's longarm rmachine. Though the mystery has been revealed, you can still make your own version by following along with the steps beginning HERE! 
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.
