Quilt by Association

When I got back into quilting in 2006 I also found out that there are a number of authors writing Quilt Novels.  I have always loved to read and these authors are combining my favorite topics: romance, mystery and now quilting.  I just finished reading Quilt by Association by Arlene Sachitano it is the 4th in the Harriet Truman/Loose Threads Mystery.

It addition to great story telling she has a wonderful artist named April Martinez that does her covers.

I really enjoyed reading all four of these books and recommend them for some great summer time reading.

An evening with Patricia Knoechel

Pat is Eleanor Burn's sister and she travels sharing quilts and patterns from the Quilt In A Day company.  This is the third time I have listened to her and each time I come away inspired to make a beautiful quilt.

Prior to Eleanor re-releasing her Radiant Star book, Pat suggested using a border print in the corner squares and side triangles.  Doesn't that look cool!

This is a LoneStar Quilt that I completed a number of years ago.  I need to get this one quilted.

I really like this pattern with the exta stars in the corners.

And this one is called Sassy Stars and uses the small stars!!

The other pattern I bought was this one it's called Stars and Crosses.

Richelle's What's Cookin' Tote

One of our neighbor girls is graduating from Geneva High this afternoon and will be attending Findlay in the fall.  She will be studying Business and Culinary Arts.  With plans to be a pastry chef.  When I saw the What's Cookin' fabric line from Loralie I knew I had to make her a tote.  I purchsed the fabric at Mara's Fabric and Gifts.
