WFQ Virtual Quilt and Fiber Show - July 27

Grandmother was a quilter and there are a lot 

of quilt blocks and pattern designs named for her.

with hand-stitched hexagons!

So here are a few of the GFGs from recent shows - Grandmother will appreciate your enjoyment!

New Favorites!  Yesterday we looked at some 

old favorite quilt blocks and designs - 

today is the day for new!  

Some we love because they have big pieces, 

are quick and easy to make, 

and have graphic impact.  

Some we love because they are intricate and fun.  

Either way, just when you think that quilting 

could have nothing new to say, here it is!

Please enjoy a FEW of the new favorite designs we have featured in our shows:
