Lise Belanger saw this elephant in a dream. Passionate about color, she appeared to use them all in her quilt, Colourful Dream. We are also enchanted by the almost stained glass-like effect she achieved in her design.
Colourful Dream won First Place, Fantasy / Whimsy, sponsored by WonderFil Specialty Threads, at the Houston International Quilt Festival 2019.

Ricky added a new pump organ to his house (he now has two). He can now "go to church" while he's still at home. Have a listen as he plays "A Mighty Fortress" and gets a visit from his three puppies.

When someone mentions a Singer Roadster, they are usually talking about the car you see pictured below. However, we found a photo of an usual Singer Roadster that might just have a different meaning for a quilter. Take a look at the second car below. How would like to hit the fabric shop in that car?

We have always loved Steady Betty ironing mats that keep your fabrics secure and flat while ironing. Now they have combined their knowledge of mats with the newest craze of wooly mats. We finally got our ration, as these are homemade and wonderful. Don't delay in making an order and here is a great way to use your 25% coupon for purchasing a 1 yr membership.
"A two-sided pressing mat with a wool side for even heat transfer and a foam side to grip your fabric and keep it from moving or distorting while you press. In between the two is a unique core that minimizes the heat passing through.
This is a great portable pressing mat for bringing classes and retreats, and the two sides make it twice as useful.

The Mermaid's Laundry is Alethea's brother's favorite quilt. It probably isn't that hard to see why. What exactly does a mermaid have to hang on a laundry line anyway?
Watch Alethea in Show 2602.
