Got a couple months now with no shows. I consider this type of stretch a hiatus, and I make a long list of things to work on. Things get done and crossed of the list (I’m a scribbler), then more stuff gets added on, it’s always a work in progress, and it ends up looking like this.
Good progress!!
One of the things on my list was to publish Spice Pinks. I wrote about this project back in April, when the May/June issue of Quiltmaker came out.
Spice Pinks is an old block that I first saw 25 years ago when I signed up for my Beginning Quilting class. It was included in the sampler we were going to make, and I was captivated. When I started the class, I was slightly disappointed to find out that another block had been substituted. But I never forgot Spice Pinks, and here’s my version of it!
A little appliqué reimagining eliminates curved piecing, and a non-traditional palette gives it a modern zing. Of course you can make it with any colors you like!
If you missed it in the magazine, the pattern is now available on my website, on the Patterns page.
More stuff to come from The List!
Until next time,
Kay

Angel in the centerfold!
Filed Under Magazines | 2 Comments
Now before you start singing a J. Geils Band song, it’s not that kind of centerfold, and seriously, I’m no angel :).
But, my project Spice Pinks does appear right smack dab in the center of the current issue of Quiltmaker, bookending the pullout section!
May/June 2015!
Spice Pinks is an old block that was traditionally accomplished using curved piecing. I applied a little appliqué reimagining, and curved piecing no more!
And here I am, the closest I’ll ever get to being a centerfold angel.
Thank you Quiltmaker!!
Until next time,
Kay
