My quilt will be hanging in Northcott's booth at International Quilt Market (Booth #522) and fabrics will be arriving in quilt shops in April 2020 and my pattern will be available then.
During our June meeting, our out-going guild president announced a challenge. Those who chose to participate, pulled a box front from a large brown envelope, and had to complete a project of their choice, using all the colours on the box.
Of course, I forgot all about it until a couple of days before our meeting in September. They only work I had done towards the project, was to pull one piece of fabric from my stash.
