At 7am this morning it was over 70 outside with 99% humidity. Acccckk! Welcome to summer in the Southeast!
We had folks from New York and Indiana that understand humidity somewhat, but I bet those Utahans are glad to be back where it's simply a DRY heat. LOL!
No matter the humidity, it was a beautiful morning for displaying quilts over the porch rail at Quiltville Inn. The cool of the morning shade - the blue of a June morning sky -
It doesn't get much better than this!
There's that wonderful Leader & Ender project that Nola was working on!
A lovely Hearts of Hope quilt (Pattern included in my new Solidarity PDF pattern booklet)
It is so exciting to see Lani's Rivanna blocks go from this -
To this!
And the Scrappy Mountain Majesties (Free Patterns Tab) group challenge blocks go from this -
To this!
This lovely was also completed!
If you know the name of this pattern and the designer, please leave it in the comments section below.
Thanks again for such a great visit, BEAST Quilters!
What a fun group to spend the week with!
The echoes of their laughter are still ringing through the empty rooms. You filled this house with so much joy and creativity!
I took some time to hang this yesterday!
I think it's the perfect place to hang it for all to enjoy from now through Labor Day.
Do you switch your own quilt displays out seasonally?
And the Hearts of Hope quilt is included as a bonus!
Quilt Your Colors!
Fly your flag’s colors in a whirling, twirling array of favorite scrap fabrics.
The 26-page digital pattern booklet includes directions for both the 68 1/2'' X 68 1/2'' Solidarity quilt and the 58'' X 58'' Hearts of Hope variation.
Easy step-by-step instructions with many full-color photos and graphics to guide you through each step of the way. Block string piecing on paper foundations.
Optional but helpful: Bonnie K. Hunter's Essential Triangle Tool and either the Simple folded Corners ruler, or the Simple Folded Corners Mini.
Traditional rotary cutting methods are given for those who don't have access to these rulers.
And of course - the Solidarity pattern release wouldn't be complete without a Gift-Away!
I'll be drawing for TWO winners! One will receive a Solidarity PDF pattern from me and a Facets of Red roll, and the second will receive the pattern and a Facets of Blue roll from Cotton to Quilts!
If the winners are outside of the USA, we can send the fabric prize to a friend within the USA who can forward it on to you.
And yes, there is introductory pricing!

ReplyDeleteNo nig plans for the Weekend. Just a normal Father's Day. Roast beef dinner and homemade rolls. Hope to get a Flimsy off the Design Floor. Very nice over the porch rail views. Have fun watching the balloons. Ours try to fly in October when it's cooler.
ReplyDeleteThe pattern is available here https://www.loandbeholdstitchery.com/collections/digital-patterns/products/deco-pdf
ReplyDeleteThe porch quilts are gorgeous! Thanks for the quote from Robert Fulghum, such a sweet man, love his stories.
ReplyDeleteFor several years I've have used THE quilt I made for the guest bed and THE quilt I made for my bed. But then I saw a quilt that I just had to make for myself and wanted on my bed. So, I decided to free some of my other quilts from storage and use them, too. I've picked 4 to be rotated seasonally on the guest bed. I'm working on the 3rd for my bed.
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful quilt display over the porch rail! Love the quote today!
ReplyDeleteI know BEAST stands for something but can't remember what it is. Looks like a great time had by all. Am in the process of packing up to move half way across the country so not a lot of quilting for me right now. Darn
