Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Volume 15 & Snow dyeing

Hello Quilting Friends! I'm happy to announce that I have another block featured in Quiltmaker's 100 Designer Blocks. This issue is the 15th volume for Quiltmaker and the seventh for me. I hope you'll join me next week for the Quilty Pleasures Road Rally blog tour. The folks at Quiltmaker will have some great prizes for you. Plus each designer, including me, will be giving you a chance to win a free copy of this issue.

The tour starts next Monday, May 1, 2017 and continues through to Friday. Make sure that you check the Quilty Pleasures blog each day to see the blocks that are featured each day. Plus you don't want to miss out on your chance to win some nice schwag that they will be giving away. The date for my blog stop is Thursday, May 4th.

One of the prizes that they will have was donated by me. It's a beautiful snow dyed mandala that I made this past Winter. I've only done snow dyeing once before and it was a blast!. You can read about it by clicking here.

I waited almost too long to get around to snow dyeing this past Winter. All the snow had melted here in Connecticut but Mother Nature cooperated by giving me one last snow storm. So I made the best of it and procrastinated no longer. Take a look at the results in the gallery below. I'm not going to tell you which one is part of the Quilty Pleasures Road Rally prizes. You'll have to check their blog to find out next week.

The last thing I want to tell you is that my block has made it onto the cover! To celebrate I'll be giving away an extra copy of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks. So that means that you have two chances to win a copy of this fantastic resource from me. Check back here to next week to find out how you can own your own copy. I hope you'll come along for the Road Rally. Sign up for my emails so you don't miss a thing.

Happy Quilting, Janice

I love that you can do deconstruct the pattern to do pieces of the total pattern.

I just have to say those mandalas are BEAUTIFUL. My grandson and I ice dyed this past weekend for the first time. Had to get to it before it got to warm. The results were exciting. He did 2 t-shirts and I did to pieces of fabric.

Awesome! I want to try ice dyeing next. I thin you have better control over the color placement. Thanks for checking out my snow dyes.
