Time to work on unfinished projects. Members of The St. Jacobs Quilt  Shows are looking for a variety of quilts to hang at the schoolhouse. This tulip is made from a Vikki Pignatelli pattern…fun, easy and certainly cheers up a wintery day! Enjoy the longer days..even the sunshine!!!

Olympic Fabric

Have you noticed the design wall in the arenas at the Olympic events? They  look like  elegant quilts. The fabric design showcases paisley, checks, stripes, polka dots on an  awesome background of blue. The completed pattern highlights triangles, squares and rectangles…with a pop of red. Colour variations can be spotted at the different venues. Get your sketch pad out Brandon Mably…. quilters would love to purchase this fabric line.
