First three rows of In the Meadow.
I was so pleased with my progress until I noticed I had forgotten the steps on the church in Row 3...argh!! I am contemplating some unsewing, but now that I see it all together...maybe not. I used a 28wt. Aurifil cotton to blanket stitch the barren trees in Row 3. Much quicker and easier than doing by hand!
Really enjoying A Rainbow Garden by Liberty Homestead. I am even giving the embroidery a go.
I used my Sashiko machine to quilt this UFO from a few years back.
It is a Carol Hopkins pattern, Grandpap's Cards.
This time I used a low contrast thread. Cannot wait to see what it looks like after a washing.
I had a request to show what the back looks like
and here is a close up of the front.
For those of you who expressed interest,
Kim Diehl's club can be found at the Fat Quarter Shop. Country Spools is also offering it, but you can pick which quilts you want to make.
Last year I designed a patriotic quilt that I submitted to several magazines. I was honored when Fons & Porter showed interest. I just learned my quilt will be featured in their May/June issue of Love of Quilting. I am grateful to Diane Tomlinson and her staff for selecting my quilt.
It is the first of the month, so time to make time for work on my blockhead projects.
Congratulations on your Patriotic quilt being chosen for the May / June Fons & Porter Magazine ! How exciting !!!!!

In the Meadow looks lovely. And I doubt anyone will notice the lack of steps on the church. Congrats on getting your patriotic quilt included in Love of Quilting
ReplyDeleteYou can just tell everyone the church steps were covered by a gentle, overnight snowfall...
ReplyDeleteYou have some lovely projects going on, Cheryl.
Congrats on the future publishing of you patriotic design in LOVE OF QUILTING! How exciting!!!
Congratulations! I will look for your Patriotic design in Love of Quilting. Your current projects are all very nice with great fabrics...love Norma Whaley's designs - "In the Meadow ..." is a favorite. Didn't notice the "missing" steps...looks just fine.
ReplyDeleteAll your projects are lovely and congratulations.
ReplyDeleteI remember having a problem with the steps for the church and the edge of the snow in that location. I contemplated leaving those steps off but did do them.
ReplyDeleteSteps, schmeps, with so much lovely detail, who would care? I am especially fond of your fabric choices for the roof and windows of the house.
ReplyDeleteWow that is wonderful to have your quilt published.
ReplyDeleteYour snowman quilt is beautiful and the steps on the church are not missed. I love everything you are working on. Hugs
Your progress is inspiring! I intend to start in the meadow this year!
