Blog Tour-7th of July

Posted by denise on Thursday, July 7th, 2011

Wine, friends and quilting, what more could one ask for?  Recently I had the pleasure to join Monique and some friends for a retreat.  I have to say they were the inspiration in creating this project for the blog hop.  Thanks Monique for creating the Fit to Be Quarter ruler and for adding your graphic details to the pattern.

Leave a comment for a chance to win a Fit to be Quarter Ruler and Fabric to make this Wine Bottle Bag.
