Simply Woven quilt from Moda Bake Shop

I have started a similar quilt for a donation quilt.
Jessica Kelly has this great tutorial at the link below.
I am not using her way. I am using scraps and I am making 10" blocks by cutting:
for the background 9 - 2.5 inches squares
for the main color 4 - 6.5 inches rectangles and 8 - 2.5" squares.
I saw a few quilts that my friend Diane H. made and I am using her plan.
I will post more when I have completed a few blocks.

Most photographed quilt at Houston 2014

This amazing quilt had a line of people trying to picture it every time I came around this isle. It is a multidimensional one. Depending where you stand, you see a different image. For example, while right in front, Oprah is the image seen, to the left Jackie Kennedy, and to the right mother Theresa.
Well deserved the ribbons.

Free Lion Brand Pattern

Image of Glamour Jacket This great jacket is a free pattern at the Lion Brand website. You need to register to access all the patterns. This one is called "Glamour Jacket" and is pattern number L10351. The direction comes in several sizes. I think I would change the back a bit. Another one to the wish I could make it soon list.
On top of it, she is standing next to the back of a Barcelona Chair. My favorite piece of furniture in this world ;)
