And It's Officially Spring!!!!!!

 

Starting the Day with Appliqué 

Still working on the center block 

of the Blockheads 3 Quilt

And doing a little multitasking --

for July, no less --

"Eagles and Stars."

As soon as I get the eagle appliquéd 

in place, I'll do the arrows and

olive branch.  This eagle is a 

star print from my stash - 

the second eagle is a dark

blue grunge fabric.  

The two large Circle/Star blocks

have the same background with

multiple squares of stash fabrics 

and Holly Taylor fabrics 

from her Violet Hill line.

The Little Lavender Chicken Bird is finished 

and both the pattern and kit are 

available in the store.

You can get to the store by clicking

here.

And I was sent this awesome little

chick quilt but I've lost the piece of paper

that I wrote the quilters name on.

She saw my little quilt on Instagram 

and made her own.

If you see this dear, would you please

send another picture and your name and I'll

try to remember to post it next week.

Speaking of next week - it will be April.

In fact tomorrow will be April.

Our vintage book for April is going to be

Festival of Life.

Meanwhile you might want to 

find a copy of

Tiny Treasures by my friend

Kathy Schmitz for Martingale..  It is awesome 

and just chock full of pictures, drawings and

embroidery information.

You need a copy.  You can get

one by clicking here.

One last thing and then I have to 

get back to sewing.

I decided to do a summer sew along with 

Moda and Martingale using Susan Ache's 

book Sampler Spree..  It starts in June, 2021.

I've wanted to make a purple and cream quilt

for a long time and I think this will be it.

Come join me as I fulfill a bucket list. 

I suppose I should warn everyone 

that I may sneak in an appliqué block or 2

if there aren't any in the book.

:)

 

Keep Quilting.  

If you'd like me to show your quilts on the blog, 

send jpgs to janpatekquiltsinc@gmail.com.

Thank you and

see you next week ladies.
