Good Morning Sewists! I hope you are staying well and able to set aside some time to do activities that lift your spirits and feed the soul!
For many of us quilting provides that in our lives. For one lady, a strong influence in the quilt world here, Patty, has a unique style that is well known to all of us who attend the Three Rivers Quilt Guild Shows. Recently she posted some photos to our local Facebook group and has given me permission to share them here.
This is her Eight Pointed Star. This fabric is absolutely beautiful and her composition and design is outstanding. This is a signature of her work.
This is a charming and perfect example of a grid! Did you have those tube shaped toys as a kid where you turned the bottom ring to create different shapes and figures? What fun. FYI they are still available online and in some toy shops. There are so many types now, a great idea for you and for any little artist in your family.
Patty calls this one just fussy cut 4 piece blocks! Aren't they beautiful? This is the key to her designs, the fussy cuts, the accurate reassembly to create the kaleidoscope effect. 
This beautiful piece is how I would like my flower garden border to look! Fat chance, right? Anyway, Patty says she found this pattern in a book or magazine and doesn't have the specifics, but it is a beauty!
- Sooo, are you inspired? Have you ever made a quilt like these? Are you a "fussy cutter?"
- Patty does have a small group she has guided over the years, she shares her skills and that is a mission for all quilters no matter what your style. Teaching others is your best gift.
- I can't get to my studio, really, I can't get there. I need three more days of restraint. Then the floors will be done, the doors rehung, everything should be dry. I hope. I hope.
