I’m excited today to have a chance to chat with Christopher Thompson about his quilting. He writes at The Tattooed Quilter and have super fun style, with lots of mini quilts. We had a chance to get to know each other being Baby lock ambassadors so that is very fun for me. Being modern in aesthetic and quilt making, Christopher also loves vintage and I want to find out a bit more about how he blends that.

I first meet Emily Breclaw of the Caffeinated Quilter when I showcased her quilt in the Official Downton Abbey Sews magazine. She has been designing for years now and her new book ‘Adventures in Hexagons’ is full of very unique and clever designs. I am so fascinated by her process of looking at shapes to create very unique quilts that you can make too.

Kristi at 'Put a Quilt on it' has a wonderful business making barn quilts. I think she has a fabulous style and eye for color. Her Barn quilts are bold, graphic, and so fantastic! She and I have partnered up to host not ONLY a giveaway, but over the next 4 days you can buy a Barn quilt of your very own with my exclusive 'save10' discount ....woohoo!  

You KNEW I'd have a red and white Barn quilt, right? 

Being that I'm a city girl, there is no barn in my yard, but that doesn't stop us quilters right? I could have put it inside, but I've decided to build a new garden around it.

Down below are the details on how to enter and I am ALSO giving away my book with my 'Cherry Pie' quilt in it!

This might be my favorite quilt in my Learn to Quilt book, I loved collecting all the red and white fabrics to make it!

For the quilting, I used it as a sampler to try out different techniques in the blocks, which I teach you in my book.
