Nick's Quilt Update


All the blocks are finished on my Hazel Ridge Path quilt. I still need to add the border (which will have some piecing). The top is in three rows, because I'm going to quilt the rows, then put them together. I will also quilt the borders before attaching them to the quilt.


I'd like to encourage any Macy's shoppers in Michigan to help out Reading Is Fundamental. Are you interested in a great opportunity to save money this summer and help support children’s literacy? Reading Is Fundamental (RIF), the nation’s largest children and families’ literacy nonprofit, is partnering with Macy’s to Be Book Smart and help provide one million free books to underserved children. We invite you to join us. Together we can Be Book Smart! From June 22–July 31, 2012, give $3 at your local Macy’s and receive a $10 off a purchase of $50 or more. Give more and you'll save more! For example: Give $3, get $10 off a $50 purchase (a $7 savings!); give $9, get $30 off a $150 purchase (a $21 savings!). Some exclusions and restrictions apply, so check the coupon for details. Macy’s will donate 100% of every $3 to RIF. With your help, we can reach our goal of providing one million books to kids. Spread the word and help make RIF’s vision of a literate America a reality! This year our federal funding was cut 92%! So please help us out if you can.

  5. One of these days/months/years, I am going to try that row quilting --- I know it works for you, so no reason it shouldn't work for me. Does Nick know about this quilt? It is wonderful --- good job!

  8. It is beautiful! What size will the finished quilt be?

    Did you tell me you work at the MSU museum? I'd like to visit it this fall, and would like to know when they will be displaying quilts.

  9. Dear Judy,
    The quilt will be about 60" x 90", long and narrow for napping on a couch. I do work at the MSU Museum. We have a quilt exhibit called Patterns of Inquiry now-September 23, 2012; http://museum.msu.edu/?q=node/531 . Come and visit while the exhibit is on display. Let me know when you're coming, if I don't have any meetings I can meet you at the gallery.

  10. I love this one (and have several Wild Goose Chase patterns) but the sashings really make it special! The colors are great, too. Any plans to offer this pattern for sale? Also, can you share the source for your background quilt, or is it your own pattern? Thanks!

  11. Caroline,
    I have lots of free patterns on this site and one of these days I'll add this to it. The background quilt is the old standard, Cut Glass Dish on point. Another one I'll put up for free when I get around to it. I'll be in New Hampshire this summer. My daughter is a grad student at Antioch in Keene.
