QM 100 Blocks Tour & Giveaway

TGIF!!

Today is my stop on the Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks blog tour to celebrate the release of the spring issue, Volume 13.

My block is called Dancing in the Rain. 




I drew it up right after getting back from Houston last October where it was a torrential downpour most of the time. One day, when walking from the parking garage to the convention center, WITH AN UMBRELLA, the only thing dry was a 4" circle on the very top of my head. It was nuts! :D

I live in California, and hadn't seen rain like that in YEARS! I actually wish it would rain like that here! So as a momento, for where I'd come from, and a wish for my home state, (it worked b/c it is raining right now as I type!-ha) I pieced an umbrella and called it Dancing in the Rain. The above image is from Quiltmaker, but I did remember to snap one photo of it before I mailed it off to them, just a week or so after getting back from Quilt Market in Houston.




It's in the pieced category, and I made it with scraps from my Homestead Betty Quilt.  I was shocked to see it on the cover, along with my name, too! :D



So to celebrate, I planned a giveaway party! There are FOUR prizes. I have two copies of the magazine to give away..



..a $25 gift certificate from Winter Creek Cloth..




..and a $40 gift certificate from Mad About Patchwork.



All you have to do to enter is leave me a comment letting me know where you're from and/or what the weather is like where you are right now. If this is your first visit, welcome! I hope you'll have a look around and come back to visit sometime! :D

Huge thanks to Quiltmaker, and don't forget to head over to their site and visit all of the other stops along the tour. Lots of giveaways, fun, and inspiration!

Have a great weekend! Thanks for stopping by! Good luck in the draw! I'll pick the winners next Friday. OOH, please make sure your settings allow me to see your email address so I can contact you.  If you're unsure, just leave it along with your comment, just in case. :)

Happy Hopping!!

I am from Greece (currently living in North Carolina) - it's raining here, and has been for days! A good thing for us because it will hopefully prevent a drought this summer....

Hey Kelli! Such a cute block and congrats on making the magazine and cover!!! Woo hoo!! I live on the NW side of Houston in a town called Cypress! You may not know but Houston and it's surrounding areas flooded a couple of weeks ago from a torrential downpour of major, record-breaking proportions!!! On the flip side, how lucky I am to live close to the site of the International Quilt Festival!!! And by the way, this week has been the lovliest weather ever!!!!:)

Good morning...
It's about 8:30 AM in Georgia, USA. I'm in a suburb of Atlanta. It's a bright sunny morning we've warmed up to a crisp 50 degrees after being in the mid 30's last night :) Like the umbrella block... we could have used some good umbrellas during the last typhoon like rains that we've had come through.

Congratulations...
Kaylace@bellsouth.net

Love the umbrella block Kelli and congratulations. I'm from Freehold New Jersey and it's been chilly and raining here for days! I don't mind the chilly but nice had enough of the rain!

Beth in TN said...

I'm in southeast Tennessee, where the weather is gorgeous right now--a little cool spell for the past two days, but getting hot tomorrow. Sunny and breezy--just perfect!

Diane said...

I'm from Alberta Canada. Our weather has been really warm and sunny for this time of year.
We need rain in the province, though. Especially in the north where there is a terrible fire which has caused the evacuation of over 80,000 people. Many more are still trapped further north.

Grandma said...

I live in Texas Hill Country. We have had some heavy rains, which are much needed. But not the problems Houston has. Love your block.

Donna said...

Love the block! It's whimsical and can be used in lots of ways. So fun but then I like the rain so naturally I like umbrellas. I am in North Alabama and the weather is a little cool since we are in the middle of Blackberry Winter. It was 40 last night. After this little spell it will get hot until about September with days close to 100.
Have a great day!

Patti said...

Thanks for the chance to win. Glad your umbrella isn't paper pieced.

Hi I'm for Alberta Canada where I am I it is sunny and cool but will warm up today. There are no wildfires like to the north of us but we are as dry as they are and I pray for all the communities that are losing their homes to fire. It was bad enough here with the lack of jobs available) my hubby being one of them) at least my house isn't burning down. and I have great quilt blocks to look at for now. God has Blessed me.

lalaluu said...

Sorry it rained on you when you were in Houston, but it was probably cooler with the rain that it would be without it. Yes, even in October! Glad you're getting rain in CA. You definitely need it more than us at the moment! Back to why we're really here - CONGRATULATIONS! The cover? That's awesome! This is a unique block but easy to tell what it is at a glance - perfect cover material!

Michele said...

I live in northern Missouri and right now the weather is absolutely glorious. A bit cool, but everything is green, flowers are blooming, and I want it to last forever....

Unknown said...

I'm in Austin, and today the weather is a beautiful and sunny day.

Diantha said...

I am from Vermont, and for a change it is not raining right now! - a nice spring day with just a few clouds.

Elizabeth said...

Here in the Chicago area today it is mostly sunny and supposed to get to 80 degrees. Tomorrow it will be back in the low 60's--up, down, sun, rain, it's been a wacky spring. I don't have an umbrella usually (though I'd love a red and white striped one!), so almost all my coats and jackets have hoods.

Sherry said...

Hi Kelli,

I'm in New Jersey. . . .and we are in our 7th (I think) day of rain. . .so I could really use a big umbrella!! LOL

They are saying that it might clear up by Sunday. . . which would be good. Hubby, the dogs, and I are all going a bit stir crazy from having only gray skies to look at.

Congratulations on being a cover girl!

Sherry V.

Beth said...

I'm a Southern Californian who has been living in the rainy Pacific Northwest for a dozen years. It's so funny, because up here no one uses an umbrella. We just get very wet. I'm happy to say that today the sun is shining--and now I am like the rest of the Oregonians and I'm treating it like a holiday: The Return of the Sun!

Lacey said...

Here in Southern California and it's actually cloudy and threatening to rain this afternoon!

Darling block! I'm in Northern California and we have been getting more rain this year than we have in years! I love the rain and would take it everyday. When the rain stops and summer gets here it often gets very hot, 90-100s. I'm in no hurry for that, hehe. Congratulations on having your block included in Vol. 13. What an awesome giveaway!! Maybe an early birthday win? ;-D my birthday is the 12th. Fingers crossed!

The weather her is COOL and blustery! I tried to work in the yard today and got cold! So what's with that!! So I came in and worked in my sewing room! This has definitely been a "need and umbrella" week.

I'm in Western MA and it's been cloudy and raining all week! How appropriate for the block.

What a fun block and just right for a rainy day here in Southeastern Alaska. Rain Dance is what I should be doing now...please to stop the rain that is falling down...we have had over an inch already and it is only afternoon! But your block is so pretty and one that I should make to enjoy where I live and still keep dry. Thank you so much for sharing your talent.

Greetings from Mesa, Arizona where it is 80F in the shade today. Just 2 days ago it was 102F in the sun. Time to head north for home; my other home that is. Very nice block. Just last week, I overheard one little boy complaining to his mother as they were coming into the store about it raining. I reached out a hand and felt a drop, waited, waited, not yet, and then another drop. Yup he was right.

I am from Pennsylvania, around Pittsburgh. It has been raining off and on each day, so I need a pieced umbrella. Thank you, peterstankovich@comcast.net

I am from Sachse, Texas (near Dallas) and right now it is sunny, but they are forecasting tennis ball hail and possible tornados tonight. We always keep umbrellas in the car.

Hellow from Chicago, watching Chicago get abducted to Rock and Roll Hall and Fame, they said, "If it's your mother's band, I'd like to party with your mom." Color My World song was our prom song. Rock on children of the 70's.
It's been a wet and green spring here and the colors are gorgeous!
