Smiling From Ear to Ear

Shop Hop has been going on this week-end at the Greater Atlanta quilt shops, which appears to have been extremely enjoyable for all concerned. My first two quilt patterns (see link to the right to see patterns for sale), House Party Setting and Tornado (using Wizard of Oz fabrics) were on display along with my samples. And, I might add, this was all happening right next to Lori Smith's patterns :-). This was all pretty thrilling.


I believe some House Party Setting patterns have sold and all of the Tornado patterns have sold, so will bring more over today for the last day of Shop Hop. I heard (and overheard) some marvelously gratifying comments on the patterns while working at Little Quilts yesterday and I can tell you, I could hardly keep back the tears.

Well! Yesterday, amidst all the frivolity of Shop Hop at Little Quilts, I noticed some promising fabrics to make an interesting (I hope) rendition of Marcie Patch's hugely successful Williamsburg Medallion pattern. Fabrics are here:

Do you think they will work, or will it come out looking Merely Odd? At this point, I still feel it could go either way.

I have been weeding thousands of ancient books at my despised day job. You know, the one that is keeping me from the Creative Life. That school library has been criminally neglected by previous so-called librarians for decades. I've always admired some of the rebound patterns that you see on old books, however, like the ones below. Don't they look quilt-like?
