Happy October!

This is Ann Shaw's "Black Oak" quilt. I love the colors. Even though I'm not crazy about orange, the pink/purple makes it work. Did you notice that the background is made from leafy batiks? Clever.

You can see Ann's pattern for "Black Oak" at Fiddlesticks Quilt Shop. Also visit Ann Shaw's site for more quilts, patterns and workshop info.

We're getting into serious quilting weather! I love autumn.

Happy November!

This lovely autumn quilt was  made by Lola DeLongoria, Carol Tackett, Marilyn Limbaugh, and quilted by Sharon Malachowski.  It was raffled to benefit Gualala Arts in Gualala, California in 2008. This quilt measures 85" x 110." I love the color combination, just like the colors in my yard (mostly on the ground today). Nice job, ladies!

Here are the quilters while the quilt was in the works (background). It looks like they had a good time.
