ones. I usually do a 6 X 7 setting, add a border and back with flannel. Today's will be for a new grandson coming April 5th. Best I get busy...*VBS* The second picture(where ever it falls) is of another part of my book order from Hamilton Books. I don't have more than 1 or 2 folk art quilt books. This one looked interesting and when you can get a $28.95 book for $3 or $4, why not??? And I'm glad I did...*VBS*
This last picture is from the book. I like everything in the picture...LOL It's a great quilt..combining several kinds of blocks. And how about that dough tray on the table with fabric balls?? There are patterns and directions for all the quilts and rugs shown in the book as well as some basic 'how to' sections.
We are still enjoying the mild temps...mid 60's again today. Not typical March weather for us...but I love it. And now I'm off to the sewing machine. I already have 21 9 patches but must sew those triangles into broken dishes blocks....keep your fingers crossed that I can get this one and in the mail next week.

Oh your right, I love that quilt in the picture - and I love everything in the picture!
I have that book - I love the red / white and blue colour schemes in it. Lioke you I got a bargain - it was about £3.50 from a charity shop and looked brand new.
P.S. Finally got my doll's bed from Ikea - just got to put it together now!
I love your little doll quilts. I am going to make some for my grandson's Preschool. And for my cousin, who collects dolls.
Wow! That sounds like a neat book website. i will have to check that out. I love your scraps! Tell us what you ended up doing with them!
I'm a "dish freak" so I'm definitely enchanted with the photo.
Oh, Finn, another book to tempt me! I've had to stop buying books for now. I have a long reading list.
Your 9-patches are adorable. Your newest grandson will love his quilt.
An interesting book there but I haven´t got any more space on my shelves! I love your doll quilts.
Thanks for sharing.
Nothing like a new grandbaby to get you digging in the fabrics for treasure *s*
Stopping in to say, "Hi," and I've got my fingers crossed.
I'm glad all of your snow has melted and that your temps are in the mid 60's. I hope it stays that way.
That sounds like a great way to spend your day. I love the beautiful front cover of that book as well. Tracey
