To all my new friends in Arkansas. I hope that you and all of your
families are safe. My prayers are going out to everyone in the south.
Seeing the devistation on the TV makes me so very sad and makes
me want to make quilts for everyone.

to find the pattern

To find the pattern I'm considering-try googling
"united notions
figgy pudding quilt moda"

or posting www.unitednotions.com/fp_figgy-pudding.pdf
for some reason, I can't link it into the blog.....

Blocks for Jennifer R.!!

The one with more hot pink was Lara's and the other Jennifer S's. so cute I can't wait to see the finished product!

June possibility

To answer the question regarding material to look out for...well, I've always dreamed of a Christmas quilt, and even though my month is June-we're doing Christmas!

Here is the pattern I think I'll go with:



I'm still debating colors, but obviously Christmas-y. I'm thinking everyone make the set of trees-1 large and 2 small and give me any scraps and I'll work those into the blocks to blend all the fabrics together.

Here is my square for Jennifer!

Make sure that when you put the pinwheel design together for the center of the square that you sew the darker piece (green) on the right of your rectangle (turquoise) and the white piece on the left... otherwise the pinwheel will be backwards. (hmmmm I may or may not have a mirror image of this one for my collection!)

Taking Care of Business

Jennifer S. has suggested that we combine November with June and December with July to alleviate extra stress during the holidays.  Can everyone give a yea or nay?  My vote is yea.

Also, since the Baseline WalMart is selling fabric at 50% off Jennifer S. asked that if you know what type of quilt design and color you are going to do, could you please post it so that everyone can take advantage of the sales and get the material early.

Jennifer/and All:  I will be doing a Christmas Tree Quilt using Jewel Tones.
