Quilting Friends,
(click to enlarge)
I’d been wanting to make this quilt for a while, and 2020
seemed like the year to make it happen!
The pattern is "Escher Cubed", by Christopher Weinhold,
and the border is my own design. Kits
are available here. I really enjoyed working with these beautiful
Kaffe Fassett fabrics, and
before the piecing was even done, one of my sisters saw it and had to have it.
So here she is, visiting us at our campsite in NC, so excited to see it almost
finished (I had another hour of FMQ still to do on it; my machine broke right
before I left for NC). Isn’t it nice
when your quilts find a loving home??
Oh, and by the way, we had a perfectly wonderful time camping in western NC. Beautiful weather, beautiful scenery, and boy did we need to get away for a few days!!
Finally,
you may not know that the Calendar page on the website is
a quick way to view upcoming events all over the state. Give it a look-see.
Happy Quilting,
Mary-Jeanine
PS: I’d love to hear from you, so drop me a
line sometime.
