Hi everyone! I've been having issues with my blog photos enlarging. Apparently, dragging photos into place to rearrange them in Blogger disables that particular function. Who knew? Anyway, I think I've got the kinks worked out.
Click on the photos in this post and if they enlarge leave a comment. I'll enter your name in a giveaway of reproduction fabric swatches like those in the quilt below. The drawing will remain open until Nov. 25.
from a line of Harriet Hargrave fabrics as they The simple one-patch layout was inspired by vintage fabric swatch books and salesmen's sample catalogs which arrange fabric samples in a similar fashion.
The cornmeal sack adds vintage charm and eliminated the need for batting.
