Hi Everyone!
Recently I got to do some pattern testing for my friend Rene' of Rene' Creates blog, who has written her first pattern. It's for her Peace Quilt! It is so cute and wonderful! Her pattern is for three different sizes...baby, lap, or full sized (75"x75"). A bunch of us tested the pattern for her, and we're holding a blog hop to feature the quilts (or quilt tops, as the case may be in some cases) we made using her pattern.
And there are giveaways for the pattern at each blogger's website.
You'll want to stop by and check out the reviews and pattern. Here is the schedule:
- Monday, January 21 - Katie at KT Quilts (http://ktquilts4fun.blogspot.com)
- Tuesday, January 22 - Michele at Nostalgic Cafe (http://nostalgiccafe.blogspot.com)
- Wednesday, January 23 - Cindy at Live a Colorful Life (http://aroundtheblockdesigns.blogspot.com)

As you can see, I'm up on Friday, January 25. So, come back then and I'll show you mine.
Here's a sneak peek for you. Yep, I sewed the whole thing on my featherweight! (Never mind the mess behind my sewing machine! LOL.)
I made the full-sized version, and I can't wait to show it to you. So, plesae do visit me on Friday and get your name in for a giveaway of the pattern. See you then! In the meantime, check out the other blog posts. It will be fun to see all the different color and fabric combinations!
If you can't wait and you want the pattern now, here are links where you can buy it:

I didn't realize you pieced the peace quilt top on your featherweight. That's so cool! I can't wait to see your finished quilt top pictures here. Thank you SO much for testing the pattern for me.

Looking forward to seeing your version. Aren't featherweights fun to sew with! I enjoyed using mine while Bernie was on vacation.

What a beautiful machine! I have two, but haven't sewn on either. One is in a locked wooden case, and I don't have the key. Someone said to use a screw driver. Both are in storage. Maybe one day, when I have more space, I will pull them out and actually use them! Yours is a beauty, Stephanie! :)

Love that Featherweight, Stephanie. I gave my mother's (then mine)to my daughter a few years ago and still miss it.
