Spa Society Member Sneak Preview & Big Martingale Sale!

I love seeing how people, inspired by the quilts in the books, move on to create their own interpretations!  I have watched with delight my friend Judy’s progress on her version of the “Village Quilt” from Small Blocks, Stunning Quilts.  As one of the original stitchers on that project for the book Judy got hooked on English paper piecing.  She collected all of her fabrics during various travel adventures (including one to my stash!) and she took the quilt with her as she continued her travels, including a sabbatical to Sweden.  Memories truly stitched into place.

 

 

 

 

In addition to all of the adorable, quilter’s eye candy, fussy cut florets, I love her border treatment! Not wanting to fuss with half pieces of hexies, she instead appliquéd the top onto a thin border of blue and then added a wider border.  This allows the quilt to visually float in it’s “frame”.  Smashing results I think!

 

 

 

Judy plans to hand quilt her masterpiece, so stay tuned for the full reveal and her induction as an honoured member into the Spa Society!

 

I also want to let you know that this weekend Martingale has a “Shop Without Cars, Crowds, Or Makeup. We’re Ready When You Are” sale, with 50% off  and free shipping (over $30) to the US and Canada!   The sale will start on Thursday for blog readers, so if you have one of our books and have been thinking about getting the other, this is definitely a sale you don’t want to miss!

 

 

 

 

Have a great week,

Happy Thanksgiving to my American readers!

&

Happy Stitching to everyone!
