Day 4 with Tina Dillard of Quilting Affection Designs

You are in for a treat this week; Studio 180 Design is hosting the Evening Elegance blog hop with several of our talented Certified Instructors. Each day two designs from our free BlockBuster program will be showcased in my signature collection, Twilight Chic.

Wow, is it Thursday already? That means yesterday's post with Jackie, which showed BlockBuster #9 - Three in One and #16 - Peaks and Valleys, was our half way point! If you missed her blog you can catch up with her here.

Today Tina Dillard of Quilting Affection Designs will be introducing you to BlockBuster #26 - Cactus Blossom and #20 - Stellar Collision.
