Quilter’s Alphabet Block of the Week: Kelly Celtic Knot
OK, so Celtic starts with C not K… It does sound like it starts with a K! This is a simplified version of a very popular, traditional Celtic appliqué design… But with a Lyn Brown twist!

Quilter’s Alphabet 20 – Jumping Jelly Roll

Quilters Alphabet: Ingenious, Incredible Irons
I was at a local antique store recently and came across this collection of aged irons. The iron is an iconic symbol, for better or worse, closely linked to women’s work. Quilters, too, are closely linked to our irons. They perk up our seams, fuse our appliqué and steam our blocks til they lie flat.

I want to thank everyone who acknowledged that I am moving toward posting just the outline of our blocks to save on ink and wear and tear. I will try to be consistent in this. This “H” block is nice and bold.
