Generation Q Magazine: Baby Bubblicious



Hi All!  I'm Home!   I was in St. Andrews, Canada, visiting my BIL's family. It was such a relaxing wonderful break, absolutely beautiful up there... 

I went to the mail box and found the Premiere issue of GenerationQ magazine, which included my "Baby Bubblicious" Quilt! (pattern and templates are included in the issue) 

I think it's one of my favorite baby quilts ever... It is scrappy, includes funky, modern, solids and prints, and has a nod to traditional quilts, right up my alley! (See the family photo down below, I'm wearing the colors that match this quilt, so you can see it's very ME!)  If I had another wee baby girl, she'd be wrapped up in this and snuggled, no doubt!

Designed and made By Victoria Findlay Wolfe,  Quilted by Prairiemoonquilts.com

There are a lot of great stories in the magazine this issue!

Would you like to win a copy for yourself to see?
I will give away TWO copies, Just leave me a comment here, 
Telling me a highlight of your summer. 

I will leave it open until Friday of this week 10am EST.

Enjoy your week!

  1. My goodness, you're more colorful than the rest of the family, aren't you?! I'd love to win this copy. Not available anywhere around here that I've seen. Summer highlight...my 93 year old mother had a masectomy and is already acting and feeling like it never happened. Feeling so blessed about that! Thanks for the giveaway.

  11. I love the quilt!
    My summer highlight was learning how to English paper piece. I love it, and it's becoming my favorite way of doing patchwork. Yep, takes forever, but it's so portable and relaxing.
    Now to figure out how to make it more modern. Maybe with the right fabric?

  12. It's still summer here in the PNW. We are newbies in this part of the country, so exploring new places has been our highlight. This part of the country is pure heaven on earth! The water, mountains, canyons, farmland, orchards, rivers, animals... I love it all!

  13. Your family is wonderful. The quilt is fabulous and I would LOVE to win a copy of the new mag. My summer highlight was a trip to Arizona with my Modern Quilt Guild sisters for a three day retreat. We sewed, ate and gabbed! No greater fun than that!

  18. I love that part of Canada! we travelled to NB and parts east nine years ago in our VW van, putting on 9,000 plus km. This summer we camped in the Rockies at Waterton Lakes National Park, just north of the Canada-US border. I was quilting in the campground, in the shadow of the rockies, finishing up my Dresden plate quilt, which has many fabrics from you. Great baby quilt, congrats on the article, and please pick me!
