update....

a roving detective has provided the name AND correct location of the pattern....it's "chop suey" by scott flanagan in the 2015 may/june issue of 'quiltmaker'.....thanks! 

thursday's flimsy

recently a friend gifted me some batik scraps....such rich and vibrant colors!  i washed them and put them away....sorta....but kept thinking about them....and then came across this pattern...eureka!

this came from the may/june 2014 issue of Quiltmaker....if you can tell me the designer's name, i'd be grateful....i gave away the pattern without taking note!   the colors are much brighter and sharper in person....a great little project that shouldn't take long to finish.....

outta here!

today was the last DAR meeting until september and our annual picnic luncheon.  dora's quilt was raffled off and garnered a healthy sum for our historic preservation fund....here is the lucky winner with me....

happy to know it will be loved and well cared for and enjoyed....and for the opportunity to pay it forward for those who have been generous to me with fabric and quilty stuff.....thank you!   ***  summer is here it seems with temps hovering around the 90 degree mark....so have exchanged snow days for sweltering, equally suitable for sewing!
