Elegant Estate Collection

 Hello Everyone,

Last Summer, Marcus Fabrics sent me Judie Rothermel's new line called Elegant Estate Collection.  Last weekend, I finally carved some time out of my days to dig into it and create a couple of blocks.

Here's the entire line.

I look at this and see some Lucy Boston blocks in my future!

I'm teaching Patchwork Math for my local quilt guild this month, and I wanted to make some new step outs.  Instead, I couldn't help myself and make some blocks from my Country Sampler pattern. The pattern is very adaptable to make 9", 12" or 15" blocks.  The blocks I made are 9". I added the teal stripe from my Hearthstone collection and the teal fabrics match beautifully.

Also, last Summer, I recolored A Ribbon Runs Through It using this beautiful line in EQ8 software.  If you missed out on the original fabrics to make this quilt, Elegant Estate is a wonderful substitute.

On a personal note, a very excited granddaughter, Harleigh, called us yesterday with some fabulous news that she and her boyfriend are now engaged!  Harleigh is the producer and editor of my videos for The Quilt Show.  We welcome Dan into the family with open arms.  He is a GREAT guy!  He's so personable and we feel as though we've known him for years.  They met in Arizona while Harleigh was attending and graduated from ASU.  They recently moved to Thousand Oaks, CA and it is so nice having them in the same state.

What a wonderful way to jump start 2025!

Soon,

Lynn
