Marva Gurley sent me the picture of her Simply Delicious wall hanging that she just finished days ago. She reduced the 14″ blocks to 7″… those are 7″ fruit blocks surrounded by 1″ sashing squares!
Here’s what Marva says: “My finished piece measures 33.5″ by 42”. The project took nearly 5.5 months. I am so happy with my new “baby”, as I have admired this pattern for a long time. My methods are hand applique and hand quilting. Thank you so much for making such a beautiful pattern.”
I’m impressed — way to go, Marva! Thank you for sharing your lovely quilt.
Judy sent me this photo of the house block she started in class, in Georgetown, TX. It is so happy!
Here’s what Judy wrote: “It is so whimsical and I have made it into a pillow. Thanks, I really enjoyed the class and the toothpick is always near by when I’m working on a project. Judy”
As always, I appreciate everyone who sends me pictures. Thanks, Judy :-).
Margaret Wild is the lucky winner this week! If you are not Margaret, you might want to actually buy your own Corner Cut tool :-). Here’s why: If your 1/4″ seam allowance is too big, or too small, you need a Corner Cut tool! It’s good for many things, not the least of which is checking your seam allowance. Here’s how it works:
And here’s a picture:
Kathy Adler sent me this photo of her Aunt Millie’s Garden quilt. She named it Orange Obsession. I love it! I have my own obsession going on with orange so it’s particularly nice to see Kathy’s version of this quilt.
Kathy wrote: , “The quilt won 1 st place in its division and Best Applique in the Las Colcheras Judged Quilt Show last weekend. I love your patterns! I took a class from you in 2005… and have been appliquéing ever since!”
Thank you, Kathy, for sharing your lovely quilt!
Congrats to Alice R. who will be getting this stash of wool/nylon blend thread. I sort of hate to see it go, but I’ve had a while and not found a place to use it—Alice, I hope you start stitching with it soon!
