Drunkards Path Quilt Along

There's a new quilt along!  It started on October 3rd and runs until December 26th.  So there's plenty of time to join in the fun.  This would be a great way to learn curved piecing and have some support along the way.  Vicki Welsh from Field Trips in Fiber is the generous host of the Cross the Drunkard's Path Quilt Along.  You can find more information and join in the fun here.  
I'm always impressed by how much this gal can get done in a days time.  The master of efficiently managing her time.  No down time in this gals life!  In between dyeing fabrics for her Etsy shop and Longarming she's found the time to host 2 blogging events.  Starting October 13 she'll also host
Everyday next week she'll be giving away goodies and invites you to do the same with a linky party!  Who doesn't love party's with free stuff?  Of course you don't need to give away something everyday to join the party.  You can find all the details here on her blog.  This would be a great way to build traffic on your blog and meet new bloggers.
Well I let myself get all worked up and excited about both of these events and after doing some digging I found these.  Purchased about 4 or 5 yrs ago and never used.  You can find them at Elsa's Backporch Designs in various sizes.  
While looking for the link for the templates I had to look at the patterns, right?  Happy and Bright!  Temptation overload!  

For now I'm telling that little devil on my shoulder NO! we'll not start another quilt.  However I'll be joining in for the fun for the Fall Festival give away!  
Yep, keep a look out next week for something a little sweet here on my blog.  
Anyone else going to join in on the fun over at Vicki's blog?  Hope to see you there!  And here!

  5. One day I want to try curved piecing, but not right now. I've already given in to one new project this month, it's hard to be good and finish what you've already got started.

  6. I won't join in, I have way too many things I need to finish before starting something something new.

  7. I hadn't quite figured out what drunkard's path pattern to do for the quilt-a-long, but I really like the one you show here--Friends and Flowers. Those oval shapes are quite distinctive. Hmmm....
