Benartex 4th Quarter Fun

 Welcome back for some Benartex fun!

For my 4th quarter project, I have

been playing with the American Spirit 

line by Cheryl Haynes of Prairie Grove Peddler.

These were the fabrics I chose

to work with for this project

but there are many others 

to choose from.

If you saw my Ohio remix

in the Fat Quarterly in October, 

then you may know where this

is going:)

I took that block along with

another arrangement and

combined them with a

sweet and simple border applique'.

In January this new design,

'In Gratitude', will be available 

for purchase through my ETSY shop.

I love that it is simple to assemble

to help those creating quilts for QOVF!

In the meantime there are the holidays to 

enjoy with all my sweeties, more blocks

to finish, a new long arm quilter to find 

since I have moved:)

I hope you find a way to make the 

holidays special for you!

Thank you all for being a part of

my life see you in the new year!

Remembrance & QOV

REMEMBRANCE REVISITED

I met Terry and Ruth at Fall Paducah in September. They are involved with Quilts of Valor and we discussed what a great kit my 'Remembrance' quilt would be for that organization.

Then the fun idea of miniaturizing the design was introduced to the conversation and I knew there should be enough fabric from the kit to make a mini because Connecting Threads is very generous with their kits.

I cannot express how exciting it is to receive pictures of completed quilts from makers!  Thank you, Terry and Ruth, for sharing your lovely work with all of us and for all you do for our Veterans.

If you are involved with QOV, here are some links to take a peek at.

QOV is always looking for volunteers: https://www.qovf.org/

Connecting Threads has partnered with and is offering a thread collection: https://www.connectingthreads.com/quilts-of-valor-thread-set/p/21541
