Civil War Sunday and more Aussies

It's that day of the week for the next block reveal with Karen. This week, the name of the block is "Peace and Plenty".  I'm not sure that I like the fabrics I picked this time.  The green is a rather putrid green.  Hopefully, when all the blocks get put together, I won't even notice.

Last week when we posted our blocks, I got an email from Elaine (who is a "no reply" commenter)

She told me that I had the top left block facing the wrong direction.  When I took a look at it, it looked to me as if the bottom right block is wrong.  Anyway, I pulled out the book to take a look and...

if Elaine and I are right, it looks like the block in the book is wrong.  As luck would have it, I happened to have the same fabrics that were used in the book, so I made it almost identical to the original.  

So, now it's bugging me and I'll probably have to take it apart.  My instinct is to turn the one on the bottom right 180 degrees so that the blue half square triangles are touching in the corners.   What do you all think?

I'm almost finished showing you Quilt Market photos.  Believe it or not!

One of the booths I always enjoy is The Quilted Crow Girls. They combine cottons and wool, and you all know how much I love that combo.

These are pincushions.  They have a club for them.   Cute, huh?

Lovely!

A great table runner with some cute framed applique pictures.

These colors caught my eye.  It would look so cute on my table. I should have grabbed it when they weren't looking. LOL

Another great table runner.

I love that the Aussies are making quilts just for us in the USA!  The crows in the corners just make this quilt a winner!  (HA....Karen just told me that these next two patterns belong to Geoff's Mom Pattern Co.   So sorry, Joyce.   Just pretend you saw them on the previous post)

And this one could be made by any quilter in any country!

I can't believe it's almost July.   We had temps in the 50's this weekend and rain all day today.  Geesh, what's up with that?  Of course, that would be after Mr CnW and I just got our anniversary gifts to each other.   BIKES!   (Have I told you how much I'm not looking forward to having "helmet hair"?)  In addition to that, we have the grandkiddos coming to visit and we need warm SUN!   I know they won't care if they are swimming in the cold, but I sure will!

See you soon with the final post for quilt market and the giveaway that I've been promising you!

Hugs, Anne

The Aussies

Quilt Market wouldn't be complete without seeing our Australian friends and designers.    I just love talking to them.   I would really like to have their "accent".

First up...Gail Pan.   She has such wonderful designs.

Love these embroidery patterns.

The minute I saw this one, I knew I had to have the pattern.

Wouldn't this be cute in wool?

This one too!

It's always fun to see Lynette Anderson and see what she's come up with.    She has a new book coming out and was very proud to show it off.

A close up.  I think she said it will be out this summer.   (Hope I got that right, Lynette)

She has a new line of fabric coming out in blues...

and purples.

One of the projects in her new book.

Wouldn't you just love to have this towel in your kitchen at Christmas?   Love it.

Or how about a pillow?

Or two?

Have you seen the new book by The Quilted Crow Girls that just came out recently?

All the projects in the book are right up my alley.... in cottons and wool!

Just sit back and enjoy the show.

I will definitely be adding this book to my library.  

I'm almost finished showing you market pictures.   Just a few more posts.

See ya later.   Hugs, Anne
