A Little Note Arrives...
A couple of years ago I went to Sisters, Oregon, with Lee Ann and Cynthia for the annual quilt show, Gees Bend workshop et al. I threw myself into it that year and even made a block to send for the square competition. The group they put my block in was won by a woman from Colorado, and the other day I got a nice note with a photo of the finished quilt. I remember thinking my block was really in the spirit of Gees Bend (hah! as if...). Those who know me can probably find it. Hint: it involves turquoise but it doesn't involve chickens...(the challenge was that they sent out the fabric and you could add one color of your own...)

I LOVE your block! And yes, I can tell! Even if you hadn't thrown the little hint!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a nice surprise to see in the mail! Love the quilt and the touch of turquoise too :)
Love your block. Amazing and unusual palette--esp the pond scum sashing and border.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a Bonnie Rebel block. Looks great. How nice that she sent you the photo.
ReplyDeleteI was totally amazed to get the nice note in which she said "Your square did not become an orphan block..." SOOO nice. I love the quilters' world.
