I am a quilter - a retired widow living in the Nebraska Panhandle. I am surrounded by beautiful semi-arid ranch country, and treeless hills and fields under incredibly wide blue skies, located far from the upheaval found often in large towns or cities. I am blessed to have delicious time to quilt and to appreciate my peaceful moments in an unpeaceful world.

New quilt - for 2012-2013
10 blocks made - this is our Raffle/Serendipity Quilt for 2012-2013. I believe the block is called Lady of the Lake. Blocks are 8 inches finished and I saw a lovely photo of a quilt made by Bonnie Hunter, in one of my magazines. Our Guild has many excellent quilters and this one will be made by our local small mini-group. I wanted a quilt that was quiet, gentle, not too girly, and user friendly! Maybe something even the men would like.

ReplyDeleteGreat start! Look forward to seeing this one progress :)
ReplyDeleteYou have made the perfect block choice. Let me know when the tickets are being sold - I'll buy some chances.
ReplyDeleteI love that pattern too! Lots of HSTs but boy they add a lot of punch to the simple block design.
