99 Cent Petal Pusher Flower Quilt
The Triangle Sherbet quilt is so much fun to put together. I made mine all in flannel, but this quilt would be wonderful in any grouping… How about starting with a group of Hoffman Batik fat quarters! Yum! It’s easy so it’s great for a beginner and also a quick go-to quilt for the more advanced quilter. The pattern is just 99 Cents!
The HourGlass quilt is made up of scrappy reds with black and white accents. Or maybe you’d like it in Lime Greens… Sunflower Yellows or Bright Blues! Using a slick HourGlass trick and lots of scraps, you’ll soon have a fabulous quilt. Just 99 Cents!Thanks again to Night Owls Quilt Guild!

The States Of Modern: Missouri
Missouri: Home of Mark Twain, Harry Truman and… The ice cream cone!
As the story goes, it was at the St. Louis World’s Fair in 1904 that the ice cream cone was invented. An ice cream vendor ran out of cups and, thinking quickly, asked a waffle vendor to help by rolling up waffles to hold ice cream. Tada! Ice Cream cones!

Starting with a group of coordinated squares, the V.Q.Q. makes up into a stylish statement… And in multiple sizes. Only 99 Cents!

States Of Modern – Minnesota: Land of 10,000 Lakes
Minnesota: Land of 10,000 Lakes is familiar to many of us as the home of Mary Richards in the Mary Tyler Moore Show. That show took place in the Twin Cities: Minneapolis and Saint Paul. But there is so much more to this beautiful state! That nickname of Land of 10,000 Lakes is no joke. Actually there’s way more than that in this beautiful state. I live in California, land of mega drought… 10,000+ lakes sounds very good to me right now! (more…)

The States Of Modern: Michigan
Interesting… Wikipedia points out that Michigan is the only state to consist of two peninsulas. The Lower Peninsula, to which the name Michigan was originally applied, is often noted to be shaped like a mitten. The Upper Peninsula (often referred to as “the U.P.”) is separated from the Lower Peninsula by the Straits of Mackinac, a five-mile channel that joins Lake Huron to Lake Michigan. The two peninsulas are connected by the Mackinac Bridge.

States Of Modern: Massachusetts
The Massachusetts flag has the elegant state seal on the field of white. For a modern take, I interpreted the flag in a minimalist design.
