A busy time for me today, way too much going on!  Thought I'd share with you the news of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Volume 3 release. 

The blog tour introducting the softcopy publication runs May 2-6.  This was done when Volume 2 was introduced and was lots of fun.  You get a chance to visit the designer's blogs where they most times show their block design used in a project.  There are also lots of prizes to be won on their sites and the Quiltmaker site.  Quiltmaker will guide you through the blog tour sites via their website.  Last year I was luck enough to win a copy of Volume 2.  Play along and maybe you'll find a new favorite designer or win something!

Volume 3 goes on sale at quilt shops and local newsstands May 10.  For those who susbribe to Quiltmaker it's not part of your subscription.  So make certain you pick up this Summer 2011 publication.  Both Volumes 1 and 2 are available thorugh Quiltmaker.  Volume 1 is only available now as a download.  Volume 2 is still available in print.

Another place to win is the First Friday Show and Tell at Quilters Club of America.  Anyone who made a Quiltmaker project using one of their patterns can participate.  Do you have a project to share?

Don't forget to quilt-along with me starting March 29 on Quilters Club of America (QCA) when Quiltmaker's 3 Part Mystery Secret Windows unfolds.  I'll be hosting this Debbie Caffrey mystery project for Quiltmaker over he next few months.  You'll need to join the Quiltmaker's Mystery Quilt-Along 2011 group at QCA to participate.  It is completely FREE!
