Iowa Quilt Bloggers- Part. 6

When it is snowing and blowing outside, my computer keeps me entertained because I am reading quilt stories and enjoying quilt pictures on several quiling blogs.

Do you know your favorite (and mine) fabric and pattern designer from Iowa has a blog?

That would be Sandy Gervais from Algona, Iowa who was discovered by Moda in 1994.

Her blog often has previews of her up coming fabric line.

Check out her blog right now as she is participating in a blog hop that Moda is sponsoring. There are prizes!! One blog site (designer/designers) are highlighted each day with 20 participants. Join in the fun at http://piecesofmyheart-sgervais.blogspot.com

Sandy's pattens are available at http://www.piecesofmyheart.net/

Keep warm. Keep upright. Keep quilting.
