And now "Vine Creek"? Darn, now I have to go shopping! :mrgreen:

Thanks so much. :) Sorry 'bout that. :lol: fabricshack.com and fabric.com have the best prices at the moment that I've seen.

I picked up a charm pack of Vine Creek at the Knoxville quilt show---they did not disappoint---just as beautiful as her previous collections. I think I ALMOST have enough different KT fabric collected to start a charm quilt with them. :lol:

Hi Marcia,

Thanks so much for your kind words. :) I got a little waylaid with other projects and 'life', so had to get my momentum back. #5 just came in the mail a few days ago. I just fnished cutting out the pieces for it. Can't wait to get this one up. It might be my fav so far. :) Heck, they're all my fav, hard to choose.

Yeah, I didn't think we'd be disappointed by "Vine Creek". I really like that they seem to be a little more vintage than the last few lines.

Your blocks are stunning. Wondering if I could take on such a project?

This is a BOM, a block of the month, and a mystery one at that. If you check out this link from the Fat Quarter Shop's blog, you'll get all the details - even a sentence or two on the skills required, and they are minimal, honest.

I've only been quilting off and on for the last few years, but given Pam's well wrtten and illustrated instructions, you can't go wrong. My only hint to success is this - ACCURACY in cutting, sewing and piecing. While I am learning some new design techniques, the piecing is basic and easy to do.

You might call the Fat Quarter Shop and see if they have anymore kits. They did say due to the overwhelming response that they did make up some more. Good luck. Thanks so much for your compliments. Much appreciated.

I am "color challenged", lol, so fortunately, this BOM's fabrics/colors were chosen by the Fat Quarter Shop. :wink: I am learning tho, as I look at their choices. So, I can't take credit for this one, but thanks anyway. :-)

Thanks Tuesy. Something about working on a project that you so love the colors of that really pulls you into it. I made good progress on block #5 today, got all the little units sewn together. This one's also gonna be SO pretty.
