I always thought going to the fair was such fun. I wanted to see the largest tomato, fanciful poultry, long-eared rabbits, gigantic pigs, quilts that took hours of planning and stitching, the best flower specimens, and table settings ready for the perfect tea party. (Also available as a download on Zazzle.)
This year’s summer card design is a still life expressing my joy at the fair.
This modern quilt image has 3 squares across and 4 down. Square patterns are a representation of modern-day quilt designs. On this card is a digital image of hand-painted paper. (Also available as a download on Zazzle.)

Fabric shapes, sewn together
Does make a quilt.
Shapes in a straight line
And some are at a tilt.
Perhaps the most fun of all
The hunt for cute fabric.
Yards are, for the stash
So fantastic!
Although quilts are often used
To keep you cozy warm,
A quilt is, without a doubt
A stunning art form.

Quilt throw
Machine quilted cotton
I have made a few quilts over the years and I thought I would share some. This Blue and White Tea quilt my sister and I made for a family member. This person likes tea, blue and white china and a splash of bright color here-and-there. At the fabric store we picked out all the blues that would go with a tea cup and pot fabric.
This quilt is constructed of squares and occasional four triangles making up a square. To give it a slightly formal touch we made the edging and binding out of a simple stripe.
