Hi everyone, and welcome to Blogathon Canada sponsored by Sew Sisters Quilt Shop.
My name is Patti and I live in Saskatoon,Saskatchewan- aka The City of Bridges!
My quilting adventures began exactly 3 years ago when I took a quilting class at a local quilt shop.
I was truly hooked, and once I discovered all the new modern fabrics and patterns, I haven't stopped !
Here are a few of my favourite projects....
Yes, I love colour!
Also love paper piecing!
and cushions...
and crafty stuff!!
I was so lucky that Who's Your Granny? was a finalist in the hand quilting category of the recent Blogger's Quilt Festival!
I've been blogging for about a year and a half, although after setting up my blog, I didn't post anything for months!
I love the blogging community, and have joined QAL's, swaps, quilting bees, and charity quilting. All things I would never have know about without blogs!
Something fun and new here in Saskatoon is the
Saskatoon Modern Quilt Guild
The first meeting was a few weeks ago, and I think it's going to be great!
I actually got to meet some local bloggers!
Are you ready for a giveaway?
Well, if you are anything like me, you adore Kona solids!
Here is a beauty of a bundle....5 colours...each is 1/2 metre!
Leave a comment here telling me your favourite Kona colour.
If you are a follower, leave a second comment.
Be sure that I have a way to contact you!!
The giveaway will remain open until the end of the Blogathon on November 24th
This giveaway is open to everyone!
Thanks so much for stopping by, and here are some amazing bloggers you can find here in Saskatchewan!

I'm so in awe of the quilting you've done in such a short time, Patti! You are a real inspiration! Thanks for including me in your list of Saskatchewan bloggers.
Favourite Kona Colour at this second is Raisin. After I blink, it will surely be something completely different.
Love your paper-pieced quilt.
My favorite Kona color is every single one of them. Too hard to pick just one.
I love our feather cushion cover, but I think I have said that many times... Well happy to say it again!
Hi Patti
I love your feathers cushion
My favourite Kona colour is 'chartreuse'
I love your Quilts! I like Kona Ash :)
I'm a follower now :)
Beautiful quilts and excellent use of color, Patti!
My favorite Kona color...believe it or not...is the pure white! I use nothing else with my 1930's feed sack reproduction fabrics and "moderns" which admittedly, I don't have too many of.
Solids of any color would be a welcome addition to my stash. hanks to both you and Sew Sisters for the opportunity to win them.
Pink in any shade! thanks for sharing and the chance to win!
I am your new follower
I love your quilts and all their beautiful colors! My favorite Kona color changes often. Right now I'm loving Bahama Blue but that green in your bundle may become my new favorite.
Like many others I'm liking Kona Ash for backgrounds. Love your work.
My favourite Kona colour is chartreuse. I'm wondering about the feather cushion. Is it a pattern I could get! I love it!
I have never used a Kona solid, but my favorite would be a blue or purple.
I am a follower :)
Love those feather pillows! And everything else, of course! At this very moment I am loving the yellow though ask me in a few minutes and I am sure my choice will change...haha
An also a follower and yes, my favorite is now the lime green....
Yay! I always love seeing your projects, Patti! Thanks for the giveaway. Right now my favourite Kona colour is charcoal. :)
I'm a follower!
I love that "who's your granny is handquilted"! I'm a hand quilter too.
love Kona Cotton - I think an aqua color is my favorite - but truthfully I do not have favorite colors.
The Kona colors are all so bright and cheerful but right now I'm really leaning toward the lime greens.

Your quilts are stunning. Currently Kona ash appears in a lot of my quilt tops.
I am a follower.
Mona butter is my all time fav.
I am a follower.
I really like Jungle, but the colour I actually use the most is Snow--how boring is that?! :-)
You have some great quilts and only a quilter for three years...... awesome. Thanks for hosting our province's turn and including some of the gal I know too.
Not sure if I have only one favorite color... they are all sew nice and crisp and bight ...love them all
in stitches
Love, love, love that hot pink solid! Thanks for the chance to win!
I am a new follower and it's great to find new blogs like yours.
I've never worked with Kona solids but I'm really likeing that green. What a nice selection you've put together. Would love to win.

Kona ash has been enjoying some popularity as a background colour and I know why! It's my current favorite right now too. I'm glad I found your blog. We have a lot in common.
I'm a new follower.
There is a Raspberry, Berry combination of colors that I am wild for. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful items with us and a giveaway. This is such a nice Blog-A-Thon. I am pleased to meet all my Canadian Sisters in Quilting. Thank you.
I am now a follower of your blog. Can't wait to get back and snoop around.
Is it possible to narrow it down to one favourite colour....tomato, cloud, daffodil, curry, chartreuse...I could go on. I don't have many in my stash as I've just discovered a place to purchase them. Love the collection in the giveaway. Thanks for hosting. Your quilts are beautiful.
I'm a new follower and looking forward to the inspiration and learning about swaps, quilting bees, QALs, etc (still relatively new to the blogging world)
I would love to win this! Thanks!
My favorite Kona colour is white as I can then dye it any color I need! :) It is a beautiful fabric to dye and very soft.
I love your quilts. My favorites projects are the one hanging on your fence and the two cushions. Fabulous color choices.
It would be very hard for me to pick a favorite Kona color. I guess I would have to chose orange though.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
I love a ll the Kona fabrics, but my 'go to' colour is coal, I love the brights though!
I'm into lime green just now. I'm loving this Sew Sisters Blog Hop that's letting me meet Canadian Bloggers.
My all time Favourite Kona colour is orange, any shade will do....
I love the Kona brights, I think buttercup yellow is probably one of my favorites. Thanks for the chance to win!
I am also a follower :)
What amazing works! I especially love that stocking and the quilt at the top! I'm a happy follower; thanks for the chance.
I love many solids, but Lagoon is probably my Number One Pick! Thanks for the chance.
Three years! That's it, holy smokes, you just blew me away with that comment! I really enjoy your collection of projects, especially the feather cushions, beautiful!
Thank you for the chance:)
Keep warm, we're getting snow...again!
Wow! Your quilting is amazing! My fave Kona colour would have to be Ash - I use it so much! Thanks for the giveaway!
I'm a new follower to your blog!
You do beautiful work I love the one hanging on the fence .Kona solids are my favorite I joined the kona solids club at Sew Sisters the colors are so bright .I just can't wait every month to see what pretties are delivered to my mail box .
Love your work. My Favourite Kona colour is red.
I think orange is a fun colour! Thanks for the chance.
I love your quilts. And that lime green Kona is gorgeous!
I love all their colours but right now my favourites are their yellow oranges - melon shades. Thanks for hosting.
Favorite Kona? That is impossible to chose just one. I have been in both rounds of Pile O Fabric's Kona charm swap and hope she continues it to get charms of all the Kona colors. I did recently fall in love with their Pure Organic teal and aqua. I am using them in my bee quilt. Thanks for the chance to win this bundle!
I follow you through GFC.
You have made such beautiful quilts. My favorite kona is charcoal gray, it seems to set off other colors so well.
Great post Patti! And great work...I love the granny square quilt.
I dont really have a favourite colour, but I do seem to have a lot of Kona Ash right now. ...my new white!
Hey, I love the Blogathon!
My fave color is the green, but I also looove the orange...whatever, I love them all!!

Thanks for sharing on this great Canadian Bloggathon. I'm so thrilled to find so many great bloggers listed to visit.
Im a new follower to you, hello. My fave Kona colours tend to be greys, but I also love: Bison, Mushroom and Brick. The shades you have here are lovely and bright. GREAT GIVEAWAY for quilting.
Cheers from Oshawa Ontario.
the pink!
Wow beautiful - love the orange.
I love Kona, I recently bought the jelly roll of the 28 new colours and Im looking for a new project. My last project incorporated charcoal, but I also really like ash and natural for neutrals. Thanks for this great giveaway... btw your paper pieced quilt is stunning!

My favourite Kona colours are the vibrant, warm, tones, like red, orange, and yellow. I love your Granny Squares quilt. I even voted for you! Sorry that you didn't win. I'm also your fellow blogger on the hop today.

My favorite Kona color is white, just because that is the color I use most often. Thanks for the chance to win!
I just love your quilts! Lovely and fresh! My favourite Kona colour is Ash.
Your retro flowers quilt is gorgeous - so are all the others, but that one I'd like to steal! I have a wonder Kona solid, it's a teal but I have no idea what it's called!
Even tho I have been making quilts and sewing for a hellava long time, I really like the Modern Quilts and yours are lovely! So glad you have a Modern Guild in your town now, too!
I don't have a favourite Kona colour, but I do have a most used - Charcoal. I love all the deep brights though like School Bus and Grape.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I am also a follower now. Love your quilts!
I am a followers. Lovely blog.
Favorite Kona solid changes all the time but I still like just plain white. It can go with anything!!
Wow - you make amazing quilts. I love the bold colors.
Thank you for a chance to win such a wonderful giveaway!
I really like your AMH feather pillows!!
Kona Ash is probably my fav (because white is too impractical with my little ones around) :)
I'm now a follower!
I'm coveting your feather pillow. I think my favorite is still Cerise.
Love your projects! Thanks for the chance to win! My favourite colour is Ruby.
Fabulous quilts Patti! I ♥ Kona's Canary, don't you?
My favorite color would be purple! No...gold; no....black; no....rusty orange! OH turtle wax....any color is my favorite LOL

great post and lovely work!!
Nice to find some new Saskatchewan blogs!
Love all your quilts. I also love doing paper piecing. Thank you for being one of the host for the bolgathon. My favourite colour would be deep purple. thank you for the chance to win.
And I am now a new follower!
Nice to hear from someone who likes to paper piece, too. Quilters seem to either love it or hate it...I'm one of the lovers!
I'm learning a lot about blogs during this blog-a-thon, too. It seems there are lots of different ways to follow various blogs. Also, Blogspot doesn't always play nicely with Wordpress, but I'm finding out how to get around that. I've subscribed to your posts via Google Reader...new to me!
Thanks for hostessing a day of the Canadian Blogathon for Sew Sisters. Its hard to pick a favorite Kona color, but I just love anything pink.
Betty
My favourite Kona colour is Ash. I think it makes a great neutral with so many fabrics. Thanks for sharing your projects. Your hand quilting is impressive and I love those cushions.
I'm a follower ;-)
Thanks for the giveaway.
Hi! Nice to meet you!
I'm in love with bright colours in general, which is why it's kind of weird (to me) that my favourite Kona right now is charcoal... it really does let all those bright prints pop, though!
Thanks for hosting. I love the colours you picked for the giveaway.
A favorite Kona color? LOL
Oh, you are serious. O.k. (sorry, still LOLing)
ahem. I'm just going to say deep blue. And leave it at that.

Thanks for hosting.

I love Kona snow. Thanks for the chance to win your giveaway.
Im sorry i cant choose just one color i love them all. Your quilts are awesome. I hand piece and hand quilt and give them all away. These colors would work great in a stained glass quilt babscorbitt@gmail.com
I am a new follower do you have your blog set up so it goes to email? babscorbitt@gmail.com
Snow is my favorite but not really a color. So I would have to choose any shade of rust or burnt orange.
I love all their greens -- sorry, I can't pick one. thanks for the chance.
Love the top quilt (didn't see a name, sorry). And the stocking. And ...
I love Saskatchewan, although I've never lived there. Dad lived in North Battleford for a while when a boy and Mum grew up near Tompkins, so I feel connected through them.
As to the Kona colours, I love all blue-greens, but in the photo, it's the fuschia that catches my eye first. I'm a colour person, too, so fabric shops are dangerous places for me . . . ~ Linne
