Of all my old quilt booklets, this one may be my favorite. It includes some classic applique patterns like Pennsylvania Rose, English Rose, and Aunt Alice's Blue Wreath, as well as a very nice pattern for the quilt that won the Sears Century of Progress Quilt Contest at the 1933 World's Fair,

Shirley Mooney, of Don't Wait to Create blog, and I gave our Millefiori Quilts presentation to Capital Quilters, Wellington, NZ on Saturday. There were about 100 people there, and they were very interested in the Millefiori Quilts books, and the la passacaglia pattern that we are both making. Many people came and had a close look at our rosettes during the afternoon tea break. That's me, talking about my quilts We had a prepared a Powerpoint presentation showing how we select our fabrics, the gadgets we use while making our quilts, and some examples of finished quilts. We also showed our quilts as they are at the moment. That's Shirley and her rosettes Shirley and I have adopted completely different styles for our quilts, so it gave people an insight into how these quilts can be personalised. I gave a strong plug for the Millefiori/ la passacaglia Facebook group and encouraged anyone considering making these quilts to join up. The bottom left hand quarter of my quilt Knowing that the presentation was looming, I suddenly got a wriggle on and started joining up some of my rosettes. I thought it would be good if people could see what the finished quilt might look like. So over the past two weeks I've glued pieces in the day and stitched at night. Here's how mine looks now, although not all of these rosettes are joined up yet. Shirley knows a lot of quilty people in New Zealand, and has asked me to join her in giving the presentation to another quilt guild in November. That will be an incentive to join even more rosettes before then.
Well the province went blue last night with a majority PC government. I'm not so sure it was an overwhelming vote FOR the PC's as much as a big vote against Graham's Liberals. Regardless, much as I love the color blue, I'm in love with green today. Here is the top for the tablerunner I told you of; I am very pleased with how it turned out. The pattern/directions are from a magazine I picked up this summer. It's called More Fast and Fabulous Quilting Ideas , part of the Better Homes and Gardens Creative Collection. It had a few projects in it which interested me, but this table topper really caught my eye. I used 9 different green fabrics, most of them batiks or hand-dyeds. This first photo is what the pattern called for. As I was putting it together, I wondered how it would look without the center section so I basted it together just to see (below). I like them both! What do you think? Sorry these photos are both just a little crooked... And look at the color difference- one was taken indoors, one outside... The one below is truer color... I hope to get it layered and quilted tomorrow. I'm going to use a variegated green King Tut thread, by Superior threads. The backing is a beautiful leafy print, with some gold, I think it suits very well although it's more of an Olive green tone. It will be bound with one of the darker greens. I promise a (straight!) photo when it's all finished... Piece, Linda "I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree..." ~ Joyce Kilmer

Here are some summer inspirations! Around here, July means the Queen Anne's Lace and Fireweed are both in full bloom. I'm in love with this gorgeous embroidery by Jo Van Kampen that really captures the delicateness of Queen Anne's Lace. And the beads add great texture! Hoffman released a beautiful Fireweed fabric a couple of years ago - a quick Google search shows it's still available in a few internet stores. I really like the depth it has! And these two summer themed quilts are fun! The watermelon quilt is on Jane Allen Quevedo's blog - what a good way to use up red and green scraps. A Day At The Beach, by Cindy Grisdela can be seen here. It has great free motion quilting! Happy Creating! Deborah
