I am so happy that I can at last share my Dishes Quilt with you! I came up with the idea for this quilt back in the summer and offered it to the editor of Love Patchwork and Quilting, Jen. But instead Jen wanted it for her new magazine Today’s Quilter. You may remember I …
It’s a bit of a Ta Da moment! My Lone Star quilt made with Karen Lewis’s new fabric is finished! My Instagram followers will have seen this coming to life over the last month or so and I’m sure will also have heard over there about Karen’s new fabric line with Robert Kaufman. I am …
