Cheddar quilts vintage

The Cheese Platter quilt pattern is a great way to use up leftover 2.5" squares and achieve a scrappy look. Beautiful stars and checkerboard patterns make a striking design that you can enjoy any season of the year. Finished size: 66"" x 66" Designed by Wendy Sheppard.

I found this photo online (sorry I cannot trace it back to the owner or the photographer) and it was the inspiration quilt for my Stars in a Time Warp. (The antique quilt is (was?) owned by Vintage Blessings. She has a shop on EBay and a FB page. If I recall correctly, she showed the cheddar star picture on FB and said she didn't know if she could let that one go. I haven't seen it for sale but I might have missed it. Someone must have copied her photo and put it on Pinterest without…

Every fall I relax and recharge my batteries at a quilt retreat in Spicer, Minnesota with the "Spice Girls". We're getting older so we need really big glasses to see what we're doing. We get lots of exercise because we...

Last Saturday the All Star Quilters Guild, Inc., hosted a Quilt Discovery Day for the public. We invited people to bring their quilts to be documented for the Florida Quilt Project, which will be online as part of the Quilt Index by the end of the year.

Three other groups also received grants for hosting a QDD. First the stations had to be…

Sometimes when I get an obsession is comes out of left field and hits hard. This is the case with my current love affair with antique quilts. I've always liked them, and have a couple of nice examples, but all of a sudden a few days ago I realized I really really want to collect them, in a big way.

Before I start this post, you have my apologies for missing my October 1 deadline for posting it. I came home from a ten-day teaching trip, and two days later, I had five more days tending to family matters -- that translated into five days away from my computer. I couldn't finish the post in those two days, despite having done a lot of the work ahead of time, and although I took an ipad with me, it was useless for finishing my post. Oh well... thanks go to all of you who commented and told…

I know it has been awhile since I posted anything - it seems to be easier to post things to Facebook. I have a bunch of pictures from Market, so I am going to post some of them here. The first bunch were taken at Schoolhouse, which is kind of a crazy race around from classrooom to classroom to see the latest and greatest products, ideas and techniques. There are 13 time slots in about 8 hours. Crazy! This first group of pictures is from the schoolhouse that Betsy Chutchian & Carol Staehle…
