On May 3 and 4, I’m participating in the Global Quilt Connection’s Sampler Platter program. I’ll be joining 17 other quilt teachers, who’ll be presenting short programs demonstrating the topics we teach about virtually.

Here’s where to learn more and register:

My daughter was home this weekend and commented that she hoped this quilt was for her, as she really loved the striking black and red, the buffalo checks and plaids, and the deer head motif. The traditional holiday elements have a slightly contemporary feeling thanks to that color combination, we decided. Sadly ...

For Round #2 of our sew along I'm using Deer Christmas i love how this plaid looks. I think with a small sashing and center corner stone this will make a cool block by itself.
TIPS:
- I positioned the same pink prints in each spot, being very symmetrical this time!

Well, folks, the 1890s quilt I researched for several years and then exhibited last winter is, as they say, the gift that keeps on giving. (Check the highlighted links for background on the quilt and it's story.)
Last spring, a woman brought me a rail fence quilt to repair. It had been made for her by her grandmother.
