STONE SOUP
No doubt, as you
walked into the shop during Demo Days last Friday and Saturday,
you noticed that we had new window displays. Please forgive us for
failing to post the pictures sooner; we've been sort of busy. As a
result, we didn't have anything thing special to serve you.
But look what happens when we put Stone Soup on
the menu! Phyllis contributed some bamboo; you can't miss the
array of reds, sashed with narrow strips of black, in the far
corner of our right-hand window (pictured at the left). Phyllis
drew her inspiration for the class in which you make this quilt
from
In Love With Squares & Rectangles, by Amy Walsh
and Janine Burke, C&T Publishing, pp. 24-27. Phyllis also
sewed
Building Blocks, to the left of
Bamboo,
designed by Heidi Pridemore and featuring fabrics from STUDIO-e's
Modern Age collection; we have kits for this quilt. We have
rich blue
Making Waves place mats for our Stone Soup -- at
the far left in the picture (and on your right as you walk in the
door). Vel teaches you how to make these gentle curves in her
class, and encourages you to make a table runner to go with your
place mats.
Flatbread -- brought to the feast by Lois -- is
based on the Modern Quilt Relish pattern with this same name, and
features gorgeous purple flowers from the
Belle collection
designed by Mary Fisher™ for Clothworks™. It is on your immediate
left as you enter the shop, and pictured at the far right, above;
our kit for
Flatbread makes a throw -- 50" × 68" -- and
includes the fabric for the binding. To the left of
Flatbread
is a beautiful geisha panel, and further to the left is
Bird
Song, a setting of this geisha panel, sewn by Patti. Do stop
by the shop to see this stunning quilt; it is a bit lost in the
far reaches of our picture, and we have kits for this project,
too. At the same time, check out the
Mikado panel from
Northcott Fabrics; it is partially visible on the far wall, at the
top of our picture.
