…unless he’s ringing three times.
Today my commemorative panel from the Victoria and Albert Museum arrived from Penelope Tucker, the Dedicated Appliquist
It’s fantastic in the *flesh*, thank you to Penny for her generosity. I am thinking Clamshells as a first border or possibly Drunkards Path blocks as I have a box of those I’ve been hand piecing over a couple of years (my Drunkards Paths have been handy just as a bit of handpiecing to pick up when I’m not in the mood to ‘think’)
The postie also brought my TAS (The Applique Society) Newsletter and my Threadbear Newsletter.
Always good reading in the TAS newsletter and Threadbear’s newsletter had pictures on the front of two new quilts which I’ve been happy to see in progress and are now finished…The Arden Quilt, Megan Carroll’s newest design and Confetti by Irene Blanck (Irene doesn’t *yet* have a quilt blog but I’ve been on to her about it LOL)
Then I went to see my friend/blog mentor Jennifer and (unless it happens again) I think we’ve solved the uploading photo’s problem…Thank you Jenn.
Jennifer’s loaned me a gorgeous book called ‘Classic American Quilts’, only 29 quilts in the book but full page/full colour photo’s of each quilt and many I haven’t seen before (and I’ve got a lot of Antique Quilt books)
So excellent bed time reading for me tonight and lots of inspiration.
And fingers crossed, here’s the photo from yesterday’s post that wouldn’t upload…
Thanks for visiting…
If only there were more hours in the day I’d definitely have a blog! It was very nice to see my quilt on the front of the newsletter!

Lucky lucky lucky you!!! But I hope we see more of the Conneticut Quilt together before you get carried away with this one. Those gorgedous little blue baskets are going to look fabulous. And well done on such an interesting and lively blog , it’s looking fab. Meganxxx
