Hi everyone. How are you? I'm having issues with my blog photos enlarging. Apparently, by dragging them into place when I rearrange them in Blogger, the photos no longer enlarge. Guess I'll try cutting and pasting instead and see if that makes any difference.
Check it 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 (only bigger). The drawing will remain open until Nov. 25.
from a line of Harriet Hargrave fabrics as they The simple grid layout was inspired by vintage swatch books and salesmen's catalogs which arrange fabric samples in a similar fashion.
The cornmeal sack adds vintage charm and due to its denser weave, eliminated the need for batting.

I LOVE the back of this quilt. The front is of course beautiful as well, but I really want one of those sacks. How can I get one?! So cool.
