Sister's Choice Quilts

My interests are quilting, reading, cooking, family, decorating, and matters of style. I post regular quilting tutorials and book reviews of current fiction.

Fabulous Giveaway at Open Gate Quilts

Is this little quilt not the sweetest thing you have ever seen?  Wouldn't you like a chance to win a kit to make it?  As well as the brilliant Mini Fit To Be Geese ruler designed by Monique Dillard of Open Gate Quilts?  Well, you could be the winner!

All you need to do is go to Monique's new blog and make a comment, telling her why you love or hate making flying geese units.  You may think you don't like making flying geese, but I bet you haven't tried making them with her fabulous ruler!   Made with her ruler, flying geese units are fun, fast and leave very little waste.  Easy too.  In fact, Monique even has a video on her blog showing just how to do it.

I want to tell you just a little bit about Monique.  She has been making quilts for over 20 years, and started her pattern company, Open Gate Quilts in 2004.  Her quilt patterns are marvelous, and I know you have either made one or at least seen them at your local quilt shops.  Her patterns always have a cool photo of the quilt on the front, often shown with one of her wonderful dogs along side.  This is one her patterns that I have been meaning to make soon.

Monique has just come out with a beautiful line of fabric that she designed for Maywood Studios, called Olde World Style.  It has the most sophisticated and elegant look to it.  You need to check out her website and see some of the amazing quilts she has made from this line.

Is that not an incredible fabric collection?  She was inspired by European tiles, tapestries and textiles.  While I was in Illinois, I saw a quilt made from this line and knew I had to have a bundle of it.  If you agree, and think you need one too, you can get one at Bundles And Bolts.  But leave one for me!

Monique also has a book in the works, which will be published this April, and will feature quilt patterns utilizing fat quarters.  She is a prolific quilter and designer, and is one of the nicest people in the business.  Please go by her new blog and say hi and enter her Giveaway.  Somebody is going to win that sweet kit, and it could be you!
