We'll be gone almost a week and we'll be pretty busy. So I thought I'd have you all do some work for me while we're gone.
I need a name for this year's Mystery Quilt. I've been calling it the Star Medallion but that's pretty lame.
Here's a jpg of the drawing of the whole quilt and a couple of the blocks that are sewn - can't give away the Mystery quite yet.
I thought I'd have a contest. Just give it your best shot at what I should call the quilt. This is a purely subjective contest. Enter your name in the comments section. I'll give it until the end of October - Halloween Day I'll pick a name.
And since I always miss my garden at this time of year, the winner will get a Cottage Garden kit. If I like 3 or 4 names, I'll keep them for future kits and the runner ups will get a Blessings Jelly Roll.
We're taking Pep's laptop to Market. If I can figure out his photo program and get the camera to work on it (big "ifs" for this not computer person) I'll blog from Market. But I will at least be able to read your entrys. This will be fun.
Better get back to sleep for awhile.
Keep quilting.
Hello,I would call this quilt "Harmony is a House and Garden",after all a home and garden you can find peace and harmony in. Have a great week.Happy days.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Four Seasons Star Medallion? It looks like all four seasons are represented in the quilt. It's beautiful, by the way! :0)
ReplyDeleteHappiness is... or A Time and a Season. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy idea is "Homestead Wishes". Love it... Have a great time at Market..

ReplyDeleteHow about:
ReplyDelete"Our House...with 3 cats in the yard". A shortened version of the song that has a chorus that goes "our house...is a very very very fine house, etc" and of course, and extra cat!
OR:
How about "Our house, is a very, very, very fine house"
It is a lovely quilt...

ReplyDeleteHi Jan,
ReplyDeleteThe first thing that comes to my mind is "Seasons of the Heart and Home". Can you use the same name twice for two different things, a book and a quilt? I LOVE this design!

Hi Jan, wish I was there with you at Market, since I am working on your Collector Series right now, actually found a very old kit on Ebay and just fondling those vintage fabrics make me think of "Seasons of the Past".
ReplyDeletelater, Nancy in MT
"Family Ties" ...all the things on the quilt are what brings and keeps a family together...Heart, Home, Holidays, Remembering good times as kids (or making memories with grandchildren)..the appliques are the Family things (parts) and the conjoining stars are the Ties.
ReplyDeleteI love this design...what about 'Celestial Seasons'...or 'Home Glow' whatever you come up with well be great I'm sure!!! Have a great time at market.
ReplyDeleteI never even knew you had a blog. I just came upon you accidentally this afternoon. I immediately added you to my daily blog reads. Just yesterday I bought "another" one of your wonderful books, "We Gather Together", A Harvest of Quilts.
ReplyDeleteI love your recent line, Blessings. Wow, what a "blessing" YOU are.
I don't know about a name. Let's see....How about "HOME, Year-round" Or "Loving Home - always"
I look forward to keeping up with your blog and your creations that so many enjoy.
Sewing hugs and blessings...
I love it! How about "Cabin in the Pines"?
ReplyDeleteWonderful quilt design, Jan! I'm throwing my hat in the ring with "Peaceful Star Medallion"
ReplyDeleteThe design is so calming and cozy - it has a comforting feeling. Love your designs.

HELLO, I WOULD CALL IT "HOMESPUN STARS",IT INCLUDES YOUR HOUSE AND THE STARS, ITS VERY NICE....IZZY
ReplyDeleteOH dear my email is patchworksail@gmail.com for the HOMESPUN STARS name ...Thanks ...Izzy
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be hard. I like them all so far. Right now Pep and I are trying to figure out where the pictures of Market went when we downloaded them onto the laptop. Can't find them. Will try again tonight.
ReplyDeleteI like "All Star Medallion" as the name for this gorgeous quilt. It has 'all' kinds of things within the great four star medallion. I love your work...keep it up! Have a wonderful time in Houston and I look forward to many more hours of fun as one of your 'gang';-)
ReplyDeleteHow about counting my blessings?
ReplyDeleteHow about Seasonal Star?
ReplyDeleteHere's my stab at naming the mystery quilt.....
ReplyDelete"At Home Among the Stars"
How's that?
I took a shot.
I like "COME BACK HOME".
ReplyDeleteI'm working on the cover quilt of your book 'Country Paths' this fall. I'm sure enjoying the relaxed feel of the applique. It's a pleasure to sew.
"Our Angel Above"
ReplyDelete"Seasonal Stars" or "Seasons and Stars"
"Corners of Life"
"My Homes' Guardian Angel"
"Garden Star"
"Heart of Home"
Wow, I feel very inspired with your pattern, I see my life throughout this past year...eww, here comes another name...
"Throughout The Year"
"Corners of Life"
"Corners, Seasons and Stars"

"Night Sky Garden" . it's a lovely pattern, beate from Oz.
ReplyDeleteI am not very good at naming my own quilts but I will take a stab at yours and I would call it "Woodland Seasons."
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm Sue from Wisconsin. The first name that instantly came to my mind was:
ReplyDeleteAMERICAN SPLENDOR
"My Favorite Things"
ReplyDelete"Happy Homestead"
"Holiday Homestead"
"Holiday Seasoning"
"Home for the Season"
"Home for the Seasons"
Seren Cartre - Welsh for Home Star. It's a beautiful quilt.
ReplyDeleteI like simple names so my quilt name idea is
