In Minnesota, we have more than 100 quilt shops and I am lucky enough to live just ten minutes from one of the best ones, Quilted Treasures in Rogers, MN. Here's Mary Wilberg, the owner, with her display of "Neutral Territory", my new fabric line from Red Rooster. As you can see in the background, there are lots of fun quilts on display everywhere you look. It always amazes me because as often as I am in the shop, there is always something new that I haven't seen!
Mary has a really good eye for color and design - she does a great job putting together kits and she also designs quilts! Mary is the featured designer today in the Minnesota Designer Blog Hop! Hop over to Mary's blog and learn everything you need to know about grommets - she has a great pillow pattern for you! Be sure to leave her a comment so you are eligible for the giveaway!
Last night we got together at Quilted Treasures and tested a new Holiday table topper pattern - and everyone finished their project! Yay! What a great group. Thank you testers!
Remember to check back on Monday to see if you have won the bag books or one of the three grand prizes from the blog hop! See you then!

Hi Terry, I didn't know that Neutral Territory was out!! I'm going to have to get to Quilted Treasures before it's sold out! You're right, that is one of my favorite quilt stores too. And your toppers look great!

Thanks for all of your work with the blog hop! It was lots of fun! Until I started looking at the various websites and blogs, I didn't realize just how much I have supported Minnesota quilters/designers! It was easy to leave comments at all of the blogs except Jamie's, and it looks like I was in good company with anonymous! I hope you will do another hop! Great job!

It's been fun. Thank you!

Thanks Terry! Your fabric line looks beautiful and so do your patterns! Wish I could have joined in on the pattern testing-I always make Christmas tree skirts as wedding gifts for the neighborhood kids-it would be perfect! The blog hop was so much fun (I managed to check in on everyone - every day!) I hate to see it end-looking forward to the next one! Have a great 4th! God Bless America!

t seems I have found this blog hop at the last hour. I probably would have stumbled on it sooner had I not been in the hospital having surgery last week. But going to give it a try to get a comment on each site :) I just love the ideas tips and even some good recipes i have found.
P.S. Its still Friday July 3, in Washington right now :)

Grommet lady ....... a lovely pattern.
Friends have shown me the bags they've made with grommets. To die for.
I've enjoyed the 'bloghopping' days with the Minnesota crew.
