We sold patterns at the Metropolitan Patchwork Society Quilt show last weekend. This was our booth.
We have patterns for all of these. I'll be teaching the red, white and blue quilt, above (In Honor of Blue Star Mothers) and Scrappy Flag (below) on June 8 at Let's Quilt in West Linn, OR.
Scrappy Flag looks better now that it's quilt and bound. This isn't my pattern, but after making the red stars the old-fashioned way, I decided that my sanity would be better served if they were paper-pieced, which I did with the little stars. For the class, we'll paper piece the whole thing.
On July 12, I'll be teaching Singing Tulips and In Full Bloom at Let's Quilt.
These are both mostly fused with some painted shadows and highlights.
The website is currently having some sort of issue. I'm putting others to work on it. If anyone wants to buy a pattern, please email me. Hoping to have it fixed soon.
I'm currently working on a pattern for Gone Fishing.
I don't actually fish as I have trouble sitting still long enough to outsmart a fish. This actually works for any theme fabric. Since these days there is fabric for about any hobby or sport, it's pretty easy to please the hobbyist or sportsman in your life.
I have a little project I'm working on that sounds pretty boring, but struck me as a good idea. I'm creating a list of my quilts on a spreadsheet program with just a few details about each including size, color and year completed. There are lots more that have been given away over the years that won't be on this list (but future give-aways will have a list of their own). The list will be in the cloud and eventually linked to pictures. A paper list could get lost, but some little remnant of what I did will live on. Also, if I ever need proof, it will be someplace in the cloud. I do wish I'd kept better records starting with the first quilt, but live & learn. If I'd known in my 20's what I know now, I'd be brilliant by now. Or at least a bit more organized.
Enjoy!
