Welcome to Day 3 of the American Made Brand Blog Tour. Today I'd like to share with you the license plate I designed to represent the great state of Massachusetts. While I'll always consider New Hampshire my second home, since I lived there for 15 years, I will always love Massachusetts - the state where I was born and call home again. Keep reading for a great giveaway!
I thought it would be fitting to make a license plate with the ubiquitous hat worn by the Pilgrims since Massachusetts is where the Pilgrims landed. I also wanted to design something that people might be able to use, not just for a license plate quilt. This hat block would be perfect for a small throw pillow to decorate the house during Thanksgiving.
This block is paper pieced and finishes at 12" x 6". Because the block is 12" long, I recommend printing this block on legal size paper. To download the pattern for free, visit my Craftsy shop here.
If you've never been to Massachusetts, I highly recommend a visit. There's so much to see. In Boston you have a number of great sites like the Freedom Trail, Fenway Park, The Boston Public Garden, The Museum of Fine Arts, The Children's Museum, The Museum of Science, Faneuil Hall, The North End, and so much more. The restaurants are amazing. Outside of Boston you have beautiful beaches (yes, like on Cape Cod and The Islands). Drive west of the city and you can visit Lowell, the birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution. For us quilters, there's the New England Quilt Museum, the Boot Cotton Mills and the American Textile Museum. You've also got beautiful lakes and mountains all over the place. The Appalachian trail does go through Massachusetts after all. And we can't forget about the Berkshires in Western Mass. Are you a basketball fan? You're in luck - the Basketball Hall of Fame is in Springfield Massachusetts. Oh, and while you're out here, you can always visit some of the other awesome states in New England.
Now for the giveaway... Clothworks is giving away a fat quarter bundle of its American Made Brand fabrics. These fabrics are 100% Made in the USA. The colors are wonderful and rich.
I want to make this giveaway easy, so just tell me what state you're from and one thing you like to do there to be entered. That's it! If you are a no-reply blogger, please make sure I have a way of contacting you. If I can't email you, I'll pick another winner.
Only US residents or those with a US mailing address are eligible for this giveaway. I'll draw a winner next Tuesday, May 27th.

ReplyDeleteWonderful Pilgrim hat! I'm from Colorado, and I would love to have a pet moose! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI am from Mississippi and I would love to visit the islands off the MS Coast.
ReplyDeleteLove the pilgrim hat, what a great multi-purpose block! I live in New York and one of the favorite things I like to do here is go camping at our state parks. Because of that I can say I've had a foot in Massachusetts! One of the parks we visited awhile back had a hiking trail that goes up to a waterfall. Halfway up to the falls, there was a point where the borders of NY, MA and CT meet! So standing at the trail marker there I was able to be in your state without leaving my own!!
ReplyDeleteCute block! I'm now in California and love all it has to offer -- mountains, deserts, beaches, big cities and small.
ReplyDeleteI'm from California, and really enjoy the weather. If you want to see the snow, go to the beach, or the mountains or desert, you can drive to it. If the traffic is light, you can do it all in one day! Yes, we do have earthquakes, but a terrible TV commercial is longer and more agonizing!
ReplyDeleteI'm from Vermont and I like to take walks in the country!
ReplyDeleteOklahoma, love going to Native American Cultural Centers, lakes, Bricktown in OKC, and wineries. genipickens(@)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteI'm from Minnesota so the best place to be in the summer is the "lake". You ask which one, just pick from over 10,000 of them! BUT, I have to tell you that MA is my second favorite, my daughter lives in Boston so we visit quite often and have seriously considered moving there!
