Today is the Big Reveal of the quilt I chose for my next Quilt Archaeology event!! I named this quilt..... Dear Prudence. I really loved this quilt the moment I found it. I love the Birds in the Air blocks with the pink background running through them all, and the variety of dark prints that really pop against the pink ground. The dark inner border gives a frame to the blocks, and a different pink print completes the quilt. Oh, so vintage! My Farmer's Daughter fabric collection was the…

I know you're all anxious to meet Tucker, and I'm betting you're going to quickly scroll down to see what the finished results looks like, and I can't say I blame you. I'd likely do the same. Now that you've had a first look....are you scratching your head? Are you thinking....'this is the path she lead us down?' Well....as I said from the beginning, Tucker wasn't to be my typical quilt design, but.....it was most definitely designed with a distinct purpose in mind! I hope you'll keep an…

Attending Fall Market in Houston was a wonderful, relaxing experience. Because I didn't have a booth, I was able to spend five days submerging myself in all things quilting and had time for visiting with friends I don't often get to see. A Prairie Gathering Quilt and the three Tokens of the Past: Gathering In Red Quilts by Pam Buda of Heartspun Quilts My Prairie Gathering Quilt-of-the-Quarter quilt hung in the center of the Marcus Fabrics booth along with other outstanding quilt projects…

The weeks are just flying by for me. I'm still waiting for summer to begin. We've had cool temperatures and tons of rain, rain, rain. One good thing about all that rain is everyone's lawn and flower beds are lush. So pretty. I have been busy making the blocks for my new pattern, Kentucky Crossroads. The quilt will be a replica of an antique quilt I acquired with the coolest block!! More about that in my next post. I presently have 3 quilts I'm making as leader/enders. I think of all that…
