I've owned my quilt shop since 1990, specializing in antique reproduction fabrics. Made my first quilt in 1976 which greatly reduced my sewing of clothing! Would like to find more time to SEW.......maybe when I retire? Am married to a farmer, have 3 children and 4 grandchildren who are the light of my life!!! And now there are 3 great-grandchildren and another due in January 2019!

Flock of Geese Quilt
Feels so good when a quilt gets finished whether it is bedsize or dollsize!! This Flock of Geese quilt is one of Lori Smith patterns, a most prolific designer!! My quilt is brighter than hers.....used mostly Windham reproductions. Bet you can't guess that I love to make Triangles!! I have found that my photos actually enlarge twice if you click on them a second time...might be because I have my camera set to a higher resolution than what is used for normal email.
Cyndi, this is absolutely stunning!! Now for sure I have to get myself in gear and go down to Windham NY and shop the new store...it is owned by the parents of the Windham Fabric line- or so I hear. Anyway, want great repros?? It's the place to go! Can't believe I still haven't been down...Now for the burning questions of the day: Just how small are those little triangles, and better yet- is that the pattern I just bought. Now I have to go look. I too love Lori Smith! Karen
That is one sweet quilt! I am working on a variation of one of Lori Smith's Fat Quarter quilts, a little sampler, and hope to have the top done before long. I love her patterns too.
Thanks for the kind comments, Ladies! I love lots of color and this little quilt has about 50 different fabrics! Would love the see the Windham shop in NY! The small half-square triangle blocks are 1" finished and the larger are 2". Most of her quilts finish about 16' x 20". The Lori Smith pattern is "And the 4-Inch Block"....has several other little quilt patterns I plan to make!
Wow, I absolutely love this little gem! The fabrics are gorgeous!!
