Heart to Hand’s Autumn Quilt…

..STOPPED me in my tracks…SEW beautiful!!  No, that’s an understatement…STUNNING! 

Yes, I am still dwwwwelllllling on the Road to California Quilt Show….BUT I have reason to dwell…there was just too much to take in the first go round.  Besides I have all these beautiful photos to share!

Back to the Autumn Quilt!  Yes, I bought the pattern…how could I NOT!!  This quilt is big…and it was hanging on the front of Heart to Hand’s booth, which prevented me from getting a full shot of it.  All these darn people kept standing in front…sheesh…don’t they REALIZE that I have a BLOG to write!!

I showed you this picture yesterday and I heard you say…yeah…it’s OK…

NOW let me show you the REAL thing…I want to change your mind…

Huh? … Huh?…

Gorgeous or what?  Wool sewn onto textured brown cottons – most of the background fabric is Japanese fabrics.

I better get busy on the Autumn Quilt!!…Oh and the Christmas Quilt from LAST year!!  Yikes! 

Today we are off to the RV show at Quartzsite, Arizona.  It’s only a two hour drive and is always good for a walk about!  Lots of people and lots to look at.  I’ll be sure to take my camera…

Have a marvellous Monday and Happy Quilting!~P

  2. I always buy something more, when I see it made up.
    I have seen patterns in packages and thought, nice, then seen them made up and said, wow.

  6. OMGosh...you are so right! That is one stunning quilt! I LOVE applique...especially wool applique. Now I just might have to search down that pattern for myself. Sigh...I just want to retire so I can play all day. So many projects, so little time.

  17. I know exactly what you're saying. I saw the Autumn quilt in Houston at Market and stopped dead in my tracks. Went in to buy the pattern but guess what? They were sold out. Story of my life. Oh well, I think I'm gonna order it as a BOM from Primitive Gatherings. Love your pics of it.

  18. It is a lovely quilt, but my "practical?" mind keeps wondering what I'd do with it when it's finished cos it'd be almost too heavy surely to hang on a wall?

  19. What a fab quilt. I must have a go at wool. Is the pattern available online?
