I have designed another pattern for my fabric line, The Ibiza Collection for Blank Quilting.  This one is a table topper.  Take a look see.

Ibiza Table Topper

The pattern is available from QuiltWoman.com.  A huge thanks to the staff there for getting this one done so quickly!

I’m not stopping there.  I am cooking up an apron (pun intended) that I will be wearing at May’s International Quilt Market being held in Minneapolis May 20 – 23.  Look for me at either the QuiltWoman.com booth (#2717) or the Blank Quilting booth.  I’ll be around!  You won’t be able to miss me when I wear my Ibiza apron!

The great people at Blank Quilting are providing a couple of free patterns for my new fabric line, The Ibiza Collection (I know I am starting to sound like a broken record saying “The Ibiza Collection” all the time, but I’m just so thrilled with it and how everything is going, I can’t resist!).

The links to the patterns didn’t come through in the previous blog post, so here they are.

The first pattern is for a set of placemats and napkins designed by Cate Tallman-Evans. You can get the pattern here.

The second free pattern is a quilt also designed by Cate.  You can get this free pattern here.

Of course, I have to mention that I have 3 more patterns (designed by moi!) for The Ibiza Collection over at QuiltWoman.com.  You can see details on those here.

I’ve said it before and I’m going to say it again, “Someone pinch me!”

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!!!
