Hello Everyone,
I received two more pictures from quilters who made my patterns that I'm sharing with you. The first picture is Country Courthouse which came from Jan. This quilt took First Place and Viewer's Choice at Happy Trails Quilt Show in Surprise, Arizona.
Jan did a great job and is very deserving of her ribbons.
The next picture of Heritage is from Betty. The quilt was made by her husband Bruce. Here's what she said in the email.
"Wanted you to see my husband’s completed quilt. He has been encouraged to enter it into the 2024 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Quilt Show. He is a 72 year old male who began quilting a little over a year ago, with no prior sewing experience. He plans to begin “A Ribbon Runs Through It” next. He really appreciates your quilt plans and looks forward to creating more in the future. He gave me this quilt to display in our guest quarters."

Wow, Bruce, you are amazing. I really hope you do enter the quilt in the two shows. I'll be you will be sending me pictures of your ribbons too!
California has been under another atmospheric river for days on end. The rain was so torrential the other night that it kept waking us up. I love to hear the pitter patter of rain on the roof unless it resembles elephants tromping across the roof for hours at a time. The high country is receiving a great dumping of snow which is fantastic. I'll put up with the rain instead of four feet of snow. Last winter was brutal when it came to snow at my location.
Soon,
Lynn
P.S. If you are interested in purchasing the patterns for Country Courthouse or Heritage, they are located HERE in my Etsy shop.
What a treat to see your quilts made by others, Lynn! I showed Bob the Heritage quilt with backstory....his response was not "I can do this, too", but "I hope he wins grand prize"! I hope the elephants leave the roof soon!! Hugs,

You and Bob could quilt together, Candace! Well, maybe not. I hope Bruce wins a grand prize too.
DeleteBoth quilts finished up beautifully. No surprise since the design and, more importantly, the directions are spot-on!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your sweet comment, Susie! I appreciate it.
DeleteI have watched your weather on the west coast. Luckily we are far enough from the Great Lake effect snows and the east coast storm. We've been mush milder than norm for the N'east and very little snow so far. But still staying in a sewing away - getting ready for a big show in April.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to hear from you, Sharon. Good luck with your show.
DeleteThese quilts are both gorgeous! I have the Harvest pattern and it is on my list. The rain reports out of California are ugly. My relatives are all suffering from it, and none of them have a sewing room to retreat to!
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting, Sue. We need the rain so I'm not going to complain.....but it has been a bit dreary. We are lucky to be out of the fray of mudslides and flooding.
Delete,I loved the frozen river as well.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was so well-written, and an interesting story.
DeleteI just put The Frozen River on hold at my library. Thanks for the recommendations!
ReplyDeleteThe book is based on a journal written by a real midwife in the 1700's. Of course, the author took some liberties with the journal. I found the story fascinating.
