57th Annual VNSA Used Book Sale in Phoenix, AZ in February

If you love books and are in the Phoenix, AZ area in February, the 57th Annual VNSA Used Book Sale is NOT to be missed!  There are hundreds of thousands of books at the sale--there's sure to be something you want.

My mother, Eilene Luffy, has been a member of this volunteer organization for many years.  All of the members work for an entire year to sort and categorize and price the books to sell in just one weekend.  The money is donated to several charities that VNSA supports.  It's a wonderful endeavor for a worthy cause.

Stop by the Arizona State Fairgrounds Exhibit Building on February 16th and 17th, 2013.  For more information, visit the VNSA website.

Best Wishes for the New Year Crazy Quilt Blocks #1, #2 and #3 from Vintage Vogue

All things that sadden hasten away,

All that can gladden come with today.

Here are three bonus blocks for the New Year, along with pictures of what your finished hexagon #2 and diamond quilts might look like if you've been following this 2012 series.  I've also included a square block using this vintage postcard image, too.

Here are three easy foundation-pieced crazy quilt blocks, featuring one of my favorite postcards from my personal collection - NY104.  It's just one of the images from my Vintage Postcard CD.

Print the square block, the hexagon block and the diamond block directly onto computer printer fabric with your inkjet printer, then use them as the foundations for your crazy quilt blocks with the center images already in place.  If you want to make your blocks larger or smaller, use these as guide to piecing.

Piece the blocks, then embellish them with threads, trims, ribbons and beads.

Enjoy your beautiful blocks!  If you've been following this 2012 series, your hexagon crazy quilt could now look like this.

Your diamond crazy quilt could now look like this.

These are the 39th, 40th and 41st blocks in my new 2012 series of crazy quilt blocks.  Click on any block in this index to view the individual PDF files, and print out the blocks.

My original series of 36 crazy quilt blocks is still available at no charge.  Click on any block in this index to view the individual PDF files, and print out the blocks.
