Mabel's Choice PDF Pattern & Gift-Away!

Happy Friday Quilty Folks!

It's finally here!

I've been looking forward to the release date of Mabel's Choice since I puot the last stitches into the binding a couple of months back.

I love everything about this quilt - the simple easy-to-piece blocks, the sweet reproduction 1930s - 1940s prints mixed with recycled shirt plaids - even the solid barely off-white background (Which is something I rarely do but was just right for this quilt) all the way down to the hand quilting stitches that hold it all together.

It's finally in PDF pattern format and ready for you to make your own!

It all started with some blocks I had picked up at an antique mall - they were a bit wonky, but I knew that if I took them apart I could re-cut them correctly and sew them back together.  Those blocks had possibilities

There were a couple of plaid blocks included with the cute vintage dress prints, so I carried on that theme, pulling sweet plaids and stripes from the recycled 100% cotton shirts bin.

How fun are these blocks?

(And the shoes too, right?)

I found out that this block is originally called "The Broken Path" and first appeared in print in 1939.  Perhaps my original blocks were inspired by that newspaper pattern?

I loved sharing the quilting in progress -

Evening slow stitching is my favorite way to wrap up the day.

Those free-hand fans quilted up just right.

The May Quiltvillians are in the house and quilting up a storm.  I'll be sharing some of what they are getting up to in tomorrow's post.

I can't believe we are headed into the weekend already - 

I'm hoping for no rain and perhaps some long walks -

But first - today - HAIRCUT!
