How are you all doing today? This is quite a busy week around here with school finishing up and an upcoming play for Lindsey this weekend. She is in two performances of Godspell. I’m looking forward to it as I know it will be fabulous!
Last week I took advantage of Southern Fabrics $2 charm pack deal and purchased April Showers. I have decided to go with a Window Pane 9 Patch quilt made with the charm squares. Torie recommended this quilt tutorial and I will work on it on the Featherweight this week. Click the link below to see the tutorial video from Missouri Star Quilt Company.

Here are the charm squares being laid out while I figure out a decent configuration for the 9 patches.
As it turns out, Southern Fabric is running another charm pack deal. This time it is a $2 Weeds Charm Pack by Me & My Sister for Moda. It looks like a lot of red and black colors in this pack. The code to use is weedscharm80 Here is the link:

This week I’m still working on my niece’s T-shirt quilt. I have the top done and I’m in the process of quilting it now.
I finished reading this book last night. I picked it up in Hawaii in August and I kept “saving” it until the right moment when I could “savor” it!
It’s a wonderful book about the history of not only traditional Hawaiian quilting but also contemporary Hawaiian quilting. I enjoyed it very much and will go deeper into it in an upcoming podcast episode.
That’s it for today…time is short and the to do list is long!

I hadn’t seen that windowpane version of the D9P before–that’s cute! Maybe a later-in-the-summer-when-things-may-slow-down-for-me project. Good way to use up more 5″ squares!
That is the first I have seen of the windowpane version as well. Looks fun. My mind is already running with ideas. Thanks for sharing.
