Heritage quilt pattern

Hello Everyone, An absolutely delightful group of women gathered together at Friends Around the Block in Colusa last Saturday for my Heritage class. By the end of class, the girls had some beautiful blocks completed. I can't wait to go back and see everyone again. The magic begins when the pieces are placed on the block layout sheet which is included in each pattern. (Unless my pattern stuffer, Mr. Joe, forgets to put one in!) The dynamic mother-daughter duo went to town on their blocks. I…

Hello Everyone, Last night after finishing two sides of the binding, I tossed Heritage on the bed to get a good look at it in different light. Why is it the phone takes a better picture than my 'real

Hello Everyone, I love to receive emails and pictures from quilters around the country who've made my patterns. When I opened this email from Dena in Wisconsin, my jaw dropped, and I uttered an audible gasp. This is her gorgeous creation of my Heritage pattern. Here's Dena's email: I just wanted to say thank you for this beautiful quilt pattern! It was very easy to follow. It is the first quilt I have finished and kept for myself! I tend to make quilts and give them as gifts. Some I have…

The Cassandra version is so different than the original. Here is the version made by The Independence Hall Quilters, my guild in Arnold. Let me know if you are interested in purchasing tickets for…

Hello Everyone, Just look at this version of my Heritage pattern made by Kate Phillips. It's gorgeous! In fact it is so gorgeous that it was selected to be in the American Quilter's Society (AQS) 2020 Quilt Art Engagement Calendar! I received an email with this picture of the quilt and a release form to sign and return, giving my permission for publication. It took me about a nanosecond to sign on the dotted line. I'm absolutely thrilled, and I look forward to seeing it in the calendar…

Hello Everyone, Day two of pictures from the photo shoot. This time, Heritage takes center stage. All of the following pictures were taken at Calaveras Big Trees State Park in Northern California. Just so you have some perspective on how large this tree is, the quilt measures 93" x 93". No, the quilt is not levitating. It is on a quilt stand, and through the power of the "retouch" button on my photo software, I can eliminate the stand. The tricky part is getting the stand level in terrain…
