Hi everyone, it is Connie from Freemotion by the River and today I have a fast and easy table runner using AccuQuilt GO! Qube Serendipity Set by Edyta Sitar.  You’ll also find all kinds of quilting tutorials, quilt patterns, and other things on my blog.

The AccuQuilt Gallery has a new exhibit, A Few of My Favorite Things by designer Edyta Sitar. The exhibit is a stunning display of traditional and modern quilts made by a combination of piecing and appliqué. In this exhibit you'll find dancing umbrellas, scrappy stars, silhouettes of nature, flower bouquets, and much more. Many of Sitar's quilts feature the GO! Simple Shapes die, which can give quilts a simple, yet dramatic "pop." Sitar effectively incorporates an impressive amount of scraps into her quilts, and these quilts are certain to become heirlooms in her family. See some of Sitar's beautiful quilts below that include plenty of fabric from her scrap collection.

Last Thursday was a whirlwind, but it was certainly a blast! The winning design of our 2015 Quilt Block Design Contest by Sherry Rose was unveiled to a crowd of over 100, mostly retreaters from Country Traditions 5^th Annual Let’s GO! Quilting Retreat. Sherry attended the unveiling with her husband and son, while runner-up Heidi Fry also attended the event.
