We had our first blog "door" prize in November and it's high time for another one! This is a block from the sampler quilt in our book, The New Applique Sampler. Becky appliqued this block (by hand, herself) for a class and it never made it into a quilt. The background is 12 1/2" x 19 1/2" and it has not been trimmed.
To enter to win this lovely door prize, leave a comment on this post. Be sure to leave your name!
On Friday (or Saturday, depending on how the week goes) we'll announce a RANDOM winner of our prize! If you post anonymously we may not be able to email you to let you know you won, so be sure to check back.
And don't forget that the deadline (March 1) for the Free Block Contest is fast approaching. We've already received some photos of completed projects and we're loving them!

Oh, how beautiful. And, hand appliqued to-boot! If only I could be so lucky!
The block is gorgeous, love to see up close what the stitches of a pro look like!
pick me please!
How fun! I love these blog contests. It's fascinating to me how many people it brings out of the woodwork to comment.
FABULOUS COLORS :) So bright as I look out at the 3 feet of snow, with more falling!
I cannot applique, so this would make a great center of a quilt that I *could* finish the borders around, and around.....

I wish I had your gift of putting fabrics together...not to mention the skill of applique...but I'm working on it...enjoyed your class at Hilton Head very much.

I've just finished the 9 main blocks of Spring Sampler--what fun it would be to win this beautiful block!
Wow, I can't believe all the posts you have received. I wasn't going to post, but since you where nice enough to send me an email encouraging me to post, I thought I better. Will you really read all these, or just number generate, and pick the winner. Hope it goes as high as 258. Thanks for all the inspiration.
It would be great winning a block from the pro's. I would frame this one. Keep up the great designs!
Include me too please - maybe it'll be my lucky day!
Love to see that block in person!
This is a very colorful, cheerful, block, that I would love to win, and use for a Habitat for Humanity
quilt, that my Nimble Fingers quilt guild is sponsoring. We have made lots of Habitat quilts for the new homes set to open in the spring.

Your trademark bright colors and simple lines. But I espec like the background fabrics. With winter still upon us, it looks like snow is falling and the winter winds blowing but these brave blooms won't be done in.
I would love to win your block. I am working on the Flourishes kit my late mother started and am really enjoying despite the fact that I don't have time for hand applique! thanks, arden
Inspirational as always. Love your upbeat colors.
Love all of your fun, bright cheery "stuff". Would be so happy to win your gorgeous block. Will be sure to keep up with your website and blog to see all your latest creative ideas.

Oh this block makes me feel like spring and I am soooo ready for it. gg I am believe it or not just finishing my last block of "Tulips in the Park" and This block would make a beautiful, memorable block for my next Piece O' Cake quilt. Karen O.
Your applique and patterns make me feel happy. I would love to win this block.
That is my all time favorite applique project. My daughter and I bought the book, the DVD and the fabrics. Then we went about learning to applique your way! We haven't gotten too far yet but we're sold on your method AND the quilt. We plan to do the whole sampler and wouldn't I be the Queen Bee to be able to show off that block with it?? YES!!
The blog, I mean block, is beautiful.

I have only recently starting reading your blog and am enjoying it. Wondered if you could write again about the plastic you use for sketching quilt patterns on. How do you transfer the pattern to the quilt itself once you have decided on a specific pattern? Thanks!
I love this block! The flowers look like they popped up right through the snow.
This piece has great color choices, and since I am such an applique nut, I would love to have this piece. Jean
NO TIME TO HAVE A BAD DAY when I have the opportunity to win a beautiful block! Linda H.
