If Quilts Could Talk

 Hello Everyone,

My booth is set and ready for quilters at the Independence Hall Quilt Show at the Fairgrounds in Angels Camp, CA.


The majority of the quilts and projects in my booth are made with Marcus Fabrics.  I'm delighted to use the phrase Make it with Marcus when talking about my booth.  This image shows the new Country Charmer pattern and Cozy Country Christmas made with Cozy Christmas fabric designed by Katie Solberg.


I have bolts and bundles of Cozy Christmas.  I love the old basinet filled with Christmas joy instead of a bundle of joy.  You can also see Country Courthouse peeking over the bolts.  Gentry's Mill is draped in the corner next to Bridle Path is on the right.


Calico Cottages is on the left with bolts of Cheddar and Coal by Pam Buda are in the front.  Harvest of Hope is the appliqued and pieced quilt on the right.  I have a few bolts and bundles of my Gentry's Mill line.  Heritage and Lil' Orphan Scrappy grace the top of the tables.

Stardance in on display over the bolts of Gentry's Mill.  Country Courthouse is peeking out again along with Harvest of Hope.

October Magic is next to Calico Cottages. Simple Elegance is making her debut under the lights in the corner.  Little mice are peaking out at you from Peek-A-Boo Pumpkins.  

There’s something magical about gathering all my quilts and projects in one place and seeing them on display. Usually, the ‘girls’ are scattered throughout the cabin—draped over couches, tucked on beds, hanging on walls, or catching the breeze on the front porch. They rarely come together like this. Oh, if quilts could talk… what stories they’d tell about late night binding sessions or early morning stitching marathons over a cup of coffee, or the retreats they've been too. Maybe they would gossip about who gets the prized spots in the master bedroom or get to hang as the welcoming quilt on the front porch.  Quilts would talk about love, comfort, happy memories and the seasons they've seen.  What do you want your quilts to say?

Soon,
Lynn
