Ethan's Summer - I was flipping through Martha Stewart's "Blueprint" magazine and found a pattern for Joelle Hoverson's (of Purl Patchwork) bedroom quilt. I have been hording Heather Ross fabric for years and new this would be the perfect quilt to display the wonderful prints I am ready to put in a project. I have prints from Munki munki, Lightening Bugs and other Mysteries. I know it was ment to be when the quilt almost came together by itself. The back is a big beach print with snorklers, fish, people getting sunburned....a lost turtle. Heather Ross is able to depict my childhood in art, I just love her work. I batted the quilt with an organic cotton/wool batting that is made here in Australia and I quilted it with King Tut thread in a verigated blue. I used my signature "Determined Meandering" technique and my Bernina 640 was my sewing computer.
