Updates

Hello Everyone,

My sister, and our friend Paula have been up here in the mountains this week for a very mini quilting retreat.  Paula is working on my October Magic pattern, and is making this pattern her own with many special touches. I love her dark background, and leaf fabric in the foreground.  


This is Paula's very special reverse applique ghost.  I love to see my patterns changed, and in different colorways.  I always say to make it your own.


Here's my original pattern.  It's a fun one to make, and I enjoy having it on display every Fall.


My sister has her Country Sunshine quilt almost all together.  The picture doesn't do this one justice at all.  She has her border cut out, and she's ready to have this flimsy in the finished column.  Gail selected this colorway to match her couch and her living room.  It is very rich looking.


I've made this quilt twice in two different colorways.



Gail also has her Once Upon a Vine quilt together.  Again, I love to see quilters put their own spin on my patterns.


Her blocks are always very precise and perfect!  This is a fun block to make.


I have an applique center in my original pattern featuring bunches of grapes.


This quilt has a lot of open space that can be filled with beautiful quilting.


Here I am last Friday at my QuiltMania magazine signing at Quail's Nest Quilt Company in Sonora.  It was so much fun seeing so many of you!  I really appreciate you coming by to see me.


You may think I've been "bone idle" lately, but that is far from the truth.  There are many wonderful, quilting things swirling in the background that I can talk about soon. 2021 is stacking up to be a very busy year for me in the quilting world.

Soon,
Lynn

    1. Absolutely no time was spent on our singing and dancing routine! We were too busy quilting and wearing cute Plaidette masks.

  3. What a fun post! How nice to have had a mini retreat with your sisters. I would love to do that. Sure do love the reverse applique for a ghost! That was a great idea of hers.

    1. Maybe you need to have a quilting class for sisters to entice them.
