Salt and Pepper

Here is my new block, "Salt and Pepper":


I was excited to be asked to make a block for the StudioE "RSVP Designers" program to be unveiled at Quilt Market 2017. It is 16" finished and made completely from StudioE's wildly successful Peppered Cottons fabrics. The stars are 6" finished with a .5" cheddar inner border and 1.5" checkerboard outer border.

If you will be attending Quilt Market in Houston October 27-30, 2017, see the works of several designers during the StudioE Schoolhouse on Friday, October 27, 1:55 p.m.--2:25 p.m., room 352C. Shopowners will learn lots of ways to run their own "RSVP Designer" program in their shops. And be sure to visit the StudioE booth, #2319, to see the blocks again, up close and personal. I will be at the Schoolhouse Presentation and would love to meet you.

I enjoy making "Lemoyne" or "Eight Pointed" Stars. Using the Perfect Patchwork Template Set E makes it easy to cut the star points for either a 6" or a 12" star. These were foundation pieced on telephone book paper.  Read more about this FREE sewing notion here.

Here are the other designers for these blocks. Check out their blogs to see their work:

Sample spree

Last night was sample spree, the shopping frenzy where quilt shop owners and those who came with them can buy the latest and greatest new stuff: fabrics, patterns, other goodies. People get in line hours in advance, I kid you not--totally unnecessary because once we open the doors at 8 pm every one is in within 5 minutes.
Hundreds attend and the lines wrap around the building in two directions. Here is an idea of the eager crowd:
