It’s my day to once again help spread awareness for breast cancer screening.
I hope every woman is aware of how important monthly self exams and especially annual mammograms are each year once you reach 40, or before if like me, you have a family history of breast cancer.
I can attest that mammograms are no fun!
I’ve been getting them regularly for nearly half my life.
Diagnostic MRIs & ultrasounds that some years for me are every 6 months instead of 12, aren’t fun either, but it beats the alternative. I also know that if they find something in their testing they’re probably catching it early & it will hopefully be easily treatable.
Early detection is so important.
There are so many reasons to try to stay healthy &
our precious new grand baby, Emma, is a good reason for me!
I’d like to offer this new little quilt pattern to make for yourself or a friend.
It measures approx. 6″ x 6″ & fits nicely on the 6 x 6 Scroll Stand by Ackfeld.
Use it as a reminder to get your annual screening.

It’s the perfect fall day here today,
sunny with a high of 84!
Great weather for a give-away.
(What’s not great is WordPress not publishing my posts the way I’ve set them up… things not centered & other things not on their own lines!)
I’m afraid it’s just going to make it all that much easier
to forget the blog & just post to FB & IG!
Thanks for your comments!
Since I posted this give-away on multiple platforms
I decided I needed to go old school with the drawing.
Names in a bowl, lol!
I couldn’t draw just 1!
Rhonda Colton & Cynthia Holman,
please email me (SuznQuilts@aol.com)
with your preference of either
Dresden Pumpkins or
Tiny Witch Hats
& I also need your mailing address.
If you didn’t win & want to sew these cute little quilts
you can find them along with the templates on my website here.

This morning there was frost on the pumpkins, literally!
Fall is definitely here & although I detest fall coming
because I know a cold, dreary winter will follow,
because it always does…
I LOVE my new Dresden Pumpkins runner!
I will now have something special to look forward to
each year as I bring this runner out of the holiday room.
Make just 3 Tiny Dresden plates
& you too will have this adorable
pumpkin runner to grace your home for fall.
They’re available now on my website in both PDF & paper form.
&
I think we need to celebrate this milestone with a give-away!
Leave me a comment telling me your favorite season
for a chance to win either
this new Dresden Pumpkins pattern
or
my new Tiny Witch Hats pattern.
Winner to decide.
Drawing will take place Wednesday.
Happy fall!

Do you subscribe to
Primitive Quilts & Projects Magazine?
If so, you’ve probably already seen my
Beautiful Dreamer
on page 36.
I got my copy yesterday!
I designed a new “flower” with my 2 templates;
Tiny Dresden Plate
& Mini Dresden Plate.
I think it’s my favorite of all the plates that I’ve created.
It doesn’t hurt that I used a lot of my favorite
Barbara Brackman & Jo Morton prints.
The flowers came first,
then the Tiny Dresden pile of petals.
This is my favorite antique cutlery tray.
I have a few…
It helps ALL of my little petals
get transported from my cutting table
to my ironing board,
to my sewing machine
& back again
without getting lost!
Lots of fun steps involved
but the most important step for making flat plates
is finding the scant 1/4″ seam on your sewing machine.
If you’re unsure,
the Perfect Piecing Seam Guide by Perkins Dry Goods is great.
You can find them on my notions page.
Aren’t the Tiny plates lovely???
BTW, I travel to teach all of my tips & techniques for perfect little plates.
See my workshop/lecture page on my website for pricing, etc.
Making the center circles is a snap with these tools:
They all help me to succeed with making perfectly round centers!
Let’s not forget the tiny blind hem stitch on my machine
that makes the applique look like it’s done by hand,
except I can do it on my machine in a snap instead of a lifetime!
I have to say making fabric choices
is probably the toughest part of this quilt!
I always worry about how the fabrics will photograph.
You can purchase a copy of the magazine at
Primitive Quilts & Projects for just $9.99.
There are a lot of cute quilts in there besides mine!
Want to win a copy???
Leave me a message
telling me:
Can’t wait to hear from you for a chance to win!

I am absolutely loving the Dresden Village!!
Great way to incorporate Dresdens! The village houses are too cute!

I love all the new patterns because who doesn’t love little tiny houses.
the Dresden Village is my favorite though
because you have little tiny houses, little people and Dresden!
How can anyone resist wanting to make it.
