The Mailman brought me all these Goodies today! The book about Toiles is new from the V&A in England.........wonderful study book with detailed closeups of the fabrics. The "Uncoverings" book is the collection of the research papers read a couple weeks ago at the American Quilt Study Group's annual seminar.....this year in MN. Next year it will be closer in NJ! A friend did a paper on "Potholder" quilts so I took the day off (between customers!) and read her paper and looked at all the photos in the Toile book! On the right are the diamond template and pattern collection #1 from Ann Holte in PA who is doing a reproduction of a quilt made about 1860. Each block is different and very scrappy! Read about the quilt in QuiltMania #78! Hope I can make a practice block tomorrow along with making Applesauce and cooking squash to freeze, work on a Civil War Legacies quilt kit sample, pin-baste two Jo Morton quilts, try to find shelf space to store the new fabrics that have been arriving and maybe even clean a little bit! Be sure to click on the photo to enlarge it so you can see the PA quilt pattern better! Clicking twice is even better!!
lucky you!!!!!

Cyndi, thank you for posting about this quilt. I saw it in Quiltmania and thought it was spectacular. A group of my friends are currently working on Nearly Insane and have been looking for additional projects.

Gorgeous Toile book, must race to London :))
ReplyDeleteThe Ann Holt quilt is gorgeous, a bit to complicated for me but nevertheless wonderful to look at.
I love toiles. They always have an air of romance about them regardless of the colorway.
