This is a pretty little block with lots of the traditional elements of Applique… Vines, Vases and Violets! I can’t believe I had such trouble coming up with this block. Once it came together, I fell in love and could not picture a more fitting quilter’s depiction of the letter V.

Pieced With Love Quilt Shop in Murrieta, CA
Happy Halloween!
I visited another quilt shop, quite by accident, while down Temecula way last week. It is called Pieced with Love in Murrieta near the intersection of the 15/215. Pieced with Love is a beautiful shop with a great variety of fabrics offered. -
Temecula Quilt Co.
I had a marvelous visit to Temecula Quilt Co. a week or so ago. What a wonderful store, especially if you are into reproduction fabrics or doll quilts or wool or all three and more!

Burgoyne Surrounded – Week Seven – Finishing
This quilt honors those who have fought for our country. Beginning with those brave men in Revolutionary times and following through to our brave troops today. Their sacrifice has kept our country enduring for 236 years. Of course this quilt recalls the victory of the Americans at Saratoga. That battle has been called one of the ten most important battles in world history. It was a turning point in our battle for independence and thus vital to the formation of the United States of America.
