I’m sorry! I wish international shipping wasn’t so expensive! Maybe next time I will do some kind of digital giveaway – a kindle book or amazon gift card or something.
If you sign up for the newsletter, you’ll get a free pattern, but that’s not as fun as the gift basket. 😦
Thanks for the kind words!

The first quilt I ever made is my favorite. It is so easy. I found it in Good Housekeeping (I think) years ago. It is a quilt you can make in just a few days, start to finish, but you don’t actually quilt it, you tie it instead. I think it was Around the World.

Yes, scrap quilts just seem “real” to me. Even when I buy fabric to make a quilt, all the leftovers go into my stash. My stash now takes up a lot of room in my attic!!

I just started making those a few years ago, and I think the important thing is having a good pattern. If all the pieces are cut right, like a puzzle, it’s not that hard to sew. I mean – it’s still curved piecing and not as fast as many modern patterns, but it’s not as hard as I thought it would be. I have a small one on my guest room wall, and I just finished one for a client, but otherwise I like to make table runners.

My favorite quilt pattern, I suppose isn’t really a pattern at all. Just your basic patchwork quilt made from scraps of clothing and fabric are a treasure. My MaMa quilted and my PaPa built her a quilting frame that hung from the ceiling. All MaMa’s friends would come over and gather around and start quilting by hand. As they progressed from the outside in, PaPa would roll the quilt on the frame sides making it smaller.
I remember hours of sitting on the floor playing under the quilt watching the needles flying in and out. Listening to those ladies talk and laugh and eat. My MaMa had a piece of chalk tied to an end of a string and that is how she marked the lines where she would stitch. I look back and wish I had learned to quilt beside her.
I still have the quilt she made me when I was a young girl. My daughter has it on her bed now.

I don’t know that I have a favorite, but I have made at least 7 log cabin quilts. All the nieces and nephew got one for graduation.

The log cabin is one of the best traditional patterns! The first real quilt class was a “Log Cabin in a Night” class starting at 7pm and ending at 7am. I was only about 26 then – now I’d never make it past 10:30! Some of the students had rotary cutters and some had to tear the fabric strips. We were young and poor, so I had really cheap fabric. My mother-in-law kept it on her bed for 15 years, though! What a lovely woman.
