So many quilts, so little time.......

This is "America for Me"

a quilt I designed in 2004.

It was published in my book

Lady Liberty.

It was recently pictured on the blog

of Country Threads owned by

my friends Connie Tesene and 

Mary Etherinton.

I first knew about it when I started getting

lots and lots of emails asking for the pattern.

Unfortunately, somehow my book was misplaced,

but Mary and Connie (who have theirs) have

been very helpful in getting me the instructions

 from their book.

What I have been doing the last few days has

been drawing the quilt again.

I've also search Moda's website for the fabrics

to use.  Alas, the background plaid and most of the

other fabrics are long gone.

I've found a lot of good substitutions though

and in a short while (with a lot of help from

my friends) there will be a brand new

quilt called America for Me.
We'll send out an email and announce it
on the blog when it's finished.

I'm pretty excited.  It's always good to meet 

old friends again.  

  

This is the Jan and Pep block from my latest

BOM I'm working on.  It's called

Jan and Pep's Marvelous Adventure

and is a quilt celebrating our 50th anniversary

which is October 18th, 2019.

It's made out of my fabric line Clover Meadow

that is showing to shops now.

And "no" I'm not dragging Pep along.

We're holding hands and he's letting me

go first because he's a gentleman.

Maybe, I should change the block and 

put my hand behind his.  I'll try that and 

show you next week and see what you think.

I'm showing a quilt each 

week from Oceans Aweigh.

This is Ships, Stars and Whales, 

a favorite of mine.

Whales are so awesome.

And this is my new kitty.

Her name is Katherine - or

Kitty Kate Kat.

So now we have Queen Elizabeth and

Katherine the Great.

I miss my Rufus but she helps a lot.  

Have a good week ladies

and keep quilting.  :)
