I would love to feature quilts made from Perkins Dry Goods patterns in a Virtual Quilt Show on my website in the Gallery. Carol Miller from Quilt University suggested this as a great way for people to see lots of options and colorways made from one design. I think she is brilliant! BUT I need your quilt pictures!!
If you are interested in having me post a project that you made from one of my patterns, click here for more information.
The Mixed Sampler retreat was a lot of fun. And a great group of women! There were about 25 quilters and the room we had to sew in was fantastic with big windows and lots of light (plenty of power too). We worked on the mystery quilt first. This is the second pattern I’ve written as a mystery. I think everyone enjoyed it, although I was a little worried about some of the piecing as it was a little challenging.
As you can see, if you’ve been here before, I’ve got a new look. And while it was being installed, wordpress updated its entire interface. SOOOOO, I’m playing catch up.
You know you’re going to have good day when the kids all get up on time and are out the door without a hitch. I love those days! With three teens in my house, “good morning” is often a question rather than a greeting!
An even better sign is getting an email first thing (after the darlings have gone) from a new friend with show and tell. Janet, the Idaho Quilter made up one of my new patterns - Three for Tea - in the cutest new line from Fig Tree - Dandelion Girl. I just love it! She even scalloped the corners just like the pattern.
Speaking of scallops, they are one of my all time favorite things to do with borders. Lots of people are afraid of them, but they really aren’t that bad! The best part is the bias binding. I know you’re reading this thinking “she’s nuts!” If you read Janet’s blog about the binding, she even says it just rolls into place.
If you want just a little project to try out the scalloping biz and bias binding, I have a free pattern at my website for a little checkerboard topper. Let me know what you think!
