one link leads to the next...and a little bit more

One of my favorite quilters has a website,
but no blog... and while popping over to see what's new in her
little corner of the world, I noticed on the bottom of her web page
the mention of one of her quilts in an upcoming quilt magazine.

A quick trip to town to search for a copy of the magazine
and a raid on some fabrics Sarah and I found at
the quilt show last summer ...

One child away to the symphony and another
lost in an old war movie....who can resist trying a block or two from
the pattern in the magazine.

I'd love to find a blue and cheddar repro for the border,
but I am trying to use up and make do with what I have.

A LITTLE BIT MORE:

The miniature Chimney Sweep block shown above was
machine pieced by me using the pattern by Ann Hermes
that appears in the August/September 2009
of Quilt magazine.

Using the fabrics from my stash I was able to reproduce a block
very similar to the one shown in the magazine.
The fabrics I used for the block were from Judie Rothermel's
Lancaster County III collection.
