pattern - Celebrate with Dr. Seuss
designed by me
quilted by me
started on 7/1/10

i auditioned a few fabrics for binding...
but in the end i went with the classic red & white stripe

nope! i still get giddy like a kid every time!

I just got this magazine and totally noticed that it was your pattern. Then I thought, have I missed something on her blog, so I had to come and find out if you had already blogged about it or not! :)
That is so cool...both the quilt and getting into the magazine! Giddy like a child is a good way to feel! :-) Well done!!!

I purchased the Dr. Seuss fabric the week it rolled out. Then yesterday I bought the magazine.. What a great surprise!! I had to look twice, because you are jaybird in my mind and that was hidden in the magazine. A happy surprise I might add. This will be the pattern I use for my Dr. Seuss, I had been looking around. Love yours!
Ooh, that quilt is completely cute! nice job :)

Congrats! It's an adorable quilt!! I'll have to make sure that I pick up that magazine...I think that my subscription has ended.
Oh so cute. I LOVE the wonkiness of the frames. And the striped binding of course.
your Suessical quilt is darling! I love it.
You go girl! Just like those Philly's of yours!
I dont think you should ever lose that feeling of giddiness when you see your name in print. Its an achievement. Congratulations.
The wonkiness is perfect for Dr Seuss! Its really cute!!
It's super cute! I have a friend who will love this one!
How do you get your fabrics in advance? Is it like Bake Shop or through the companies?
WooHoo Congratulations Julie!!! I am so happy for you, what a thrill! And what a fun quilt you designed :)
Cuuuuutttteee!!! Love that pieced checkerboard border! So Fun!
Congratulations...again! :D
Congratulations!!! Dr Seuss was a hit and I love the red and white stripe binding you selected.
Congratulations, so very cute. I just made my self a skirt out of all the fabrics. I teach first grade and my kids loved the skirt. If I am wearing the skirt, then we get to study a different Dr Seuss book that day. I am going to have to make this quilt. Thanks for the inspiration.
I am a huge Dr. Suess fan! Your quilt pattern really makes the fabric! Congratulations on yet another publication,,, tiy are such a talented girl!!! But I might have told you that before:)
Love your pattern and have that magazine, Congratulations! Jane
I just love the Dr Seuss fabrics and your quilt. It's all your fault that I had to go out and spend money to get that magazine. LOL I HAD to get the quilt pattern you created.
Of course, getting near all the sewing, embroidery, and quilting magazines was very dangerous for my checkbook because I went to Barnes & Noble where they have tons of those types. I think I heard my checkbook groan a bit even. HAHA
