And don't you just love this little block stand I found in the Ackfield booth at Market.  I think it's just the thing to showcase our blocks before  they go into the larger settings. I ordered some then and there.  To get one of your own click here.  

Now to back up a couple of weeks and answer a question or two.

"Is there a quilter whose work always inspires you?"  

She's no longer with us but my friend and cohort Linda Brannock's quilts always inspired me and got me thinking.

We would start with an idea and she would say "and then we could....", and I would say "yes and then we could"..... and the ideas would jump back and forth and build geometrically instead of in a straight line.  We truly designed some wonderful quilts together.

I miss her.

I have worked with some major designers and have had great times and great quilts working with them - and no one else's mind clicked with mine the way Linda's did.

And speaking of outside influences - my latest Tablestand was inspired by Anna Coselli who

made her Moda Blockhead Beeskep Block this way.  

I emailed and got her permission to use her Blockhead idea in my summer Tablestand 

"Birds and Bees"

and am sending her a kit.

The Tablestand quilts have a front and a back so you can put them where they can be seen from both sides.

Now let's go see what the other designers have done with Lisa's block.
