Gay of Sentimental Stitches gave the book "Quilts of Indiana” away on her blog last week and I was lucky enough to be the winner.
She had her furry friends Clutch and Zoe do the drawing and posted a little video here. It was just too cute.
I was surprised when looking through the book to see this write up and picture about the Benjamin Biggs quilt. It is so nice to have a good picture of the finished quilt and to read some history about it. It has really inspired me to keep going on this one.
Here is my block 3 the Cherry Wreath block. This one wasn’t too difficult even if some of the stems were very tiny. I just made little templates from freezer paper and turned the edges with starch.
Happy Stitching,
Nancy
Congratulations on your win Nancy - what a great book to have for inspiration! Lovely Block 3 - you did a great job.

Well done with the applique. The narrow stems look good. I took a class a long time ago on how to make the tiny stems and it was not done with starch. I remember it worked well. But we did not do circles with the method. I don't know how well it would work on those.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your win, Nancy! I'm going to try to interlibrary loan the book to get a good look at BB.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. Your block 3 looks great.
Your three blocks look good together. Nice book, all of the state quilt books are so good, especially if you like old quilts. I have Nebraska, of coarse, and Virginia. They are great reference books.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! A neat looking book! You know I am not at all surprised at you winning!!
