Nancy Schmidt from Granville, OH, sent me pictures of her finished Searching for Beauty quilt. It is wonderful! Here is what Nancy wrote:

It was a joy working your pattern and especially creating the background fabric. The photos on the back side includes face masks I made, and reminders of hand washing and social distancing. Please note I added your name to the label because you provided so much inspiration for this project. What fun It was to make and will bring back memories of this strange event in time.

The photos on the back, along with the pieced squares, really are a nice touch!

Thank you, Nancy, for sharing your quilt with us! Your quilt truly does capture this strange time in our lives.

Anita B. is this week’s winner! She will receive Jen Kingwell’s Postcard Project #8, the Two Tone Tumbler. It is fun to make and you can stop at any size. Instructions are included for hand piecing but can also be completed using a machine. But really, this is more fun to hand piece :-).

Kathi H. is this week’s winner. She will receive a pack of Black Gold #12 Applique Needles and the Needle Beetle threader. The needle is a sharp needle (which is shorter than a milliners needle). The point of this rigid needle is SHARP and glides with amazing smoothness through the fabric. This is one of my two favorite applique needles.

Ruth McCormick shared her recently finished “Underlying Condition” quilt, which measures 34″ x 35″.  She used the virus designs from my Searching for Beauty pattern, and the heart came from the website www.NurseFuel.com.

I am impressed with the way Ruth tells her story in such a clear and precise way. My DIL also has an underlying heart condition which makes living through this pandemic very scary for her, her family, and those of us who share their ‘bubble’.

Ruth made this quilt for a Guild challenge, with the theme Hearts and Flowers.  The viruses look like flowers to me, but just to be safe, I inserted two pieces of flower fabric (orange viruses).


Thank you, Ruth, for sharing your vision with us! Well done!
