TONIGHT! I will be speaking at the Acacia Guild TONIGHT, August 2, on Mystery Quilts and Quilt Mysteries. And I need YOUR QUILTS… Please dig out/borrow back/finish any of our past mysteries (we have done TEN mysteries through the years!) and bring them to share to the Buena Park Senior Center (on Knott south of La Palma). I haven’t made them all so the more you bring, the more will be shown!

Here is a traditional OLD pattern that an older child would have made to hone her skills. As a pieced pattern, this is a pretty difficult block, but as a fused appliqué block, it’s a snap. Give it a try and soon you’l be “Winging” along!

Quilters Alphabet 28 – Nostalgic Nine In Nine
Something about the Nine Patch completely encapsulates Quiltmaking. It is geometry, fabric and craft all rolled together. So the 9 In 9 is a perfect representation of the letter “N” in our Quilters Alphabet.
