Grand Opening of my web site!
Welcome to the Grand Opening of my web site, BarbSackel.com. I am just so proud of all the work my web wizard Corinne did, that I wanted to show it off. Every month I will have a new recipe and a new mystery block of the month. I will keep you up to date with my blog and try to have some surprises along the way.
To celebrate I am giving away two baskets, worth $200 each. Aren’t they beautiful? A basket contains a 40 piece fat quarter pack from Moda, a ruler, quilting gloves, fancy scissors and more. And of course, chocolate!!!

Good luck with your website!

I love the Classic Southwest Quilt Pattern! I am going to get the pattern and make it for someone for the Holidays..I have trouble picking one, as they are all wonderful. I am glad you make Accu Quilt Go Patterns! I am finally getting one this month, and I need help knowing how to put the cut blocks/dies together! Thanks so much. Linked

I really love the All About Glitz pattern. It looks like a lot of fun to make and there are a lot of design possibilities with this one, especially for large, quirky prints. BTW, very nice website!

Hi Barb, Feathered Hotel is my favorite. I am so excited for your success! I remember with great fondness your classes and quilt bee. I knew immediately you were a gifted teacher and artist.It is interesting to see how each step you took in a new thing was a building block to reach where you have arrived today. Congratulations!!!We just moved to Atlanta and I will be anxious to check out the new quilt shops and find a quild.Cordially Anne Bennett
Golden Treasures Quilt Pattern BS2-215 is my favorite.
Congratulations on your new site. Lovely, well organized, concise text with great visuals.
All your designs are lovely, but as I enjoy making charity quilts I’ve been drooling over one of your patterns for sometime….Thus, I’d have to say my favorite is: Maiden Voyage I can just picture it with fussy cut kids prints and cheerful colors for backgrounds & borders.

My favorite pattern is Destiny Quilt Pattern. Just beauiful! I really like your site – I had a hard time getting on so you must be very busy!!
I am intrigued by your book Cascade of Quilting Essentials. my email is bmdahl@earthlink.net. I will mention you on my blog PiecefulDays.SquareSpace.com
Love the Batik Diamonds pattern and especially your use of color.
There is probably not a pattern that I don’t like. My favorite would be a toss up between Trophy Case and Dancin’Daisy. I have used them many times and love how they are versatile and go together so nicely. Thank you for sharing your talents with us!
Cabin and Posies is my favorite pattern. It is hard to choose though. They are all lovely.
Oooh- Barb, congratulations. My fav patterns are Dancing Daisy and the Lets Go Sampler. Great work. Love the look of the site and the blog. I added a little post on my own blog and also became a FB fan.
That’s my comment above, I have no idea why it left my name off… Operator Malfunction, I guess.
Scenic Circle. Congratulations on your opening. I love how you are making quilt patterns for panels. I love panels, but often don’t know what to do with them. Thanks for such a generous giveaway!
Congrats on the grand opening! I think I like the Batik Diamonds pattern the best. And I loved your humble pie story.
Love your website! My fave pattern is ‘Dancin’ Daisy’– I’d show off some hand embroidery on the petals. I love pumpkin pie, cake, bread, muffins, etc. but….chocolate with pumpkin? Hmmm…..maybe I’ll try a few chocolate chips in my next batch of muffins.
I love the Let’s GO Sampler pattern. I love stitching samplers, and never really thought of it in relation to quilting.
Oh, and I’m a fan of your facebook site, too!
I love your batik squares pattern it is gorgeous. You have a nice web site. Thanks for a great giveaway.
Hi Barb. I just found your blog tonight. I can’t wait to see your new fabric when it comes out next year. I love fabric!! I was really drawn to the pattern Aspen in Bloom. It’s so different than most patterns. Loved it!!
Thanks for the chance in the drawing!! What an awesome prize!

I love the “Let’s Go Sampler”! It’s bright, cheerful and could keep you happy quilting for hours.
I love your patterns and wish you luck and fun on your new site. I like the Comfy & Cozy and Rag Star patterns, but they were all great and would love to try most all of them. Thanks for the chance!!!!!
I really like “I love quilting” skinnie
My favorite pattern is Simply Sunny Quilt – both quilts shown are adorable. I also like the String of Beads skinnie.

Barb, I love Stars Around the Tree. All of your Christmas quilts are amazingly delicious. I do a lot of donating of tree skirts and make them for wedding gifts but I find this one stunning.
