Hunt has begun

I am going to be starting the new BOM by Beth Ferrier. By the time I decided to do this quilt, the kits were gone. So, off to the local quilt shop to see if I can find some fabric.

Quilting suggestions needed

I want to start hand quilting this quilt, It is called a "Carpenters Square" I found the pattern on some very old yellow paper that was in a trunk of my grandmothers. Each block was 24 inches square and it took 72 pins in each row just to keep from loosing the points.

Churn Dash Quilt

This is the latest quilt top that I've finished. The center is made with 3 inch blocks. The set of blocks are 6 inch, then 9 inch and the outside is made using 12 inch blocks. The plan is to hand quilt it, lol we'll see, for how it goes on the stack with the rest.

Great day in PA

It was a lovely day here in PA. I worked on my CW, made a class sample and even took a nap. I want to wish you all a Happy Easter. Busy week coming up, I am headed to the Lancaster quilt show. I hope to do some stash building while I'm there. Have a great week, Peaceful Piecing. Penny

I am THRILLED to ANNOUNCE!!!!!!!

After working with a publisher for a month, many writes and rewrites, then three trial runs by three different quilters and hours at the printers. I am thrilled to announce...............My very first quilt pattern has been published. "Furrowed Four Patch" will be released after March 17th. The copyright was applied for and received today!!!

The patterns are hot off the press, and headed out for distribution on Monday. The first 100 patterns have already been sold. I have also been asked to deliver patterns when I go to the Lancaster Quilt show at the end of the month.

They can also be purchased through me, for more information on how to get your pattern please e-mail pennyspatches@frontiernet.net

Churn Dash

This is my current project. The center Churn Dash blocks are only 3 inch finished squares. I don't paper piece so those were a challange. The next set of blocks are 6 inch finished Churn Dash. Now, I am in the process of adding 9 inch Churn Dash blocks set on point again. The last border will be 12 inch finished Churn Dash blocks. I am leaving open blocks, setting trianles and wide borders to show off fancy quilting.

I will be adding more photos as the quilt grows. So, check back often.
