Just a Quick Note

...to let you know that I am changing my email address. If you are trying to contact me via an address saved in your system, it will not work. My profile page shows my new email, and my comments are linked to it as well. 

Mostly family time going on lately, but I did stitch up the last little English Ivy block from the class I took with Marsha McCloskey last September. These blocks finish at 3".

In the publication "In War Time" by the American Quilt Study Group I found a photo that has inspired me as far as a setting for these blocks goes. It won't be an exact replica, but will be "inspired by."

And I did end up finding a coral print in my stash that did it for me. The brown fabric went down in flames, as far as the popular vote went (I agree). Blue got a lot of support, but there was not enough of the only blue that seemed to be the proper tone.

Coral was definitely the favorite, and after an email from Roxanne I was encouraged to revisit my stash. I found a tonal coral that had been folded too small and was passed over the first time around. It is in the final stages of being stitched down on the back. I am happy with it--and this will be finish #30 of small quilts for this year.

 



Now, back to family. Only have these two here for 4 more days!

Until next time,
Janet O.
