My latest favorite fabric collection is one we saw at quilt market. It recreates old french fabric patterns, with linen and hemp colors in addition to red. These are "flying geese" blocks, a very traditional pattern. I will keep you updated as the project progresses. I have finished (almost) cutting the 84 kits in the new McKenna Ryan "Back to the Farm" series. I cut twelve kits of the overall art quilt, then for each individual block, I cut twelve more kits. It has been about a three week process since we do daily orders first. Each kit has fifteen to twenty different fabrics, in different sizes. It is like a color-by-number project using fabric for paint. I wonder how someone becomes an art quilt designer? If you want to see her other designs (for which we also have kits), look her up on google.
Tonight should be the first hard frost. The farmer brought in all the garden produce so it wouldn't spoil. My camera angle is not big enough to capture it all. There are 46 watermelon. This variety is small and has a yellow center. I is crisp and sweet. The two B's enjoy taking the extra to friends and neighbors.We are at home watching Twins baseball. There is a home football game, but it is cold and rainy and windy. I have my bunny quilt and the fireplace is going. Tucker is sitting at my knee. It is nice to be home.
