An end and a new beginning!

Well, our preparations for market are almost finished, in fact tomorrow we pack up and get ready for the flight on Tuesday! I am so excited! The samples are made, the patterns are written and I am looking forward to setting up the booth!

I have been working on Quilt Nook Gal Design's website in preparation for being able to offer our patterns to you. In light of this I thought it was time to also consolidate the blog to the website so we can be reached all in one place. What this means to those of you that read my blog is that for future postings please hop on over to www.thequiltnook.com/blog. Please update your bookmarks and if you would like to continue following us, please also re-follow! I am very excited to be taking this next step!

I am hoping to post from market, so please check the new spot for those updates and once the new patterns make their debut I will add them to the website. Of course, the launch of the new patterns, site and blog would not be complete without a little giveaway! So sometime after I get back from market there be a giveaway with some of the goodies I pick up there!

Until then I will leave you with another sneak peak of one of the quilts I quilted this past week. All I can tell you is that it is made from a fabulous fabric line by Brenda Riddle for Lecien Co. called Celebration. It is called "Flowering Dresden" (which should give you a bit of a clue!).

Hope you all have a good week and I look forward to hearing from you over at the new blog!

Thanks for reading!

I'm Sew Happy!

Well, if you haven't noticed I have been MIA lately! Well, with good reason- let's just say that in addition to some family stuff there is a lot of great things happening at the Nook lately! To start with I have been designing up a storm....the reason you ask? Well it just so happens that Quilt Nook Gal Designs is making it's debut at the International Quilt Market in Minneapolis in a few weeks! So needless to say Nina has been humming along at quite a pace, and I have been doing quite a bit of sewing and such in preparatrion to have my samples made in time. So, if you are going to market, I will be in booth # 1137, so please come on by- I would love to meet you in real life! If not I will be trying to blog from market to let you know how my first time as an exhibitor is going. I am really excited to embark on this new adventure! Stay tuned!

On other news, around the time of market, The Quilt Nook's blog will be moving to a new home! Another new adventure for us is that I am working on a new website that will house not only the blog but a spot where you can purchase some of my favorite notions and of course Quilt Nook Gal Designs patterns! Don't worry though- I will link through here and let you know when to update your links!

As spring is in full swing here at the Nook household, I realize that it really is a season of renewal, growth and forward motion -so I think this makes it the perfect time to expand my horizon further into the quilting world! I hope you are all along for the adventure and hopefully I will have only more good things to share with you in the coming weeks, as I finish preparations for, and attend market! Please stay tuned!

Good things happen when you dream big!!

Until next time a little sneak at what I have been working on for market!

Happy Dreams and I will be back in a little bit!

DQS8 swap quilt received!

I wanted to share the wonderful quilt I received in the mail a little bit ago! This is my fabulous DQS8 swap quilt that travelled all the way from France to live with me here in the Nook!

Thanks so much to Béatrice who was my angel for this swap! I love it! I will be hanging it in my studio as it complements the colors in there perfectly! This swap has been fun to do, and I have seen some wonderful inspiration from a wonderful group of people! I definitely would love to participate again!

I will blog about mine once my swap partner has received hers so as not to ruin the surprise!

Happy swapping!
