Well, The book only gives a single block and shows it as shaded areas of a grid...like if I were designing a block on graph paper. I would have to enlarge it and then I'd be on my own to put it together. There are no instructions. I don't think it will be terribly hard, but I just need to think about the easiest way to to sew all the pieces together. That's okay...I love a challenge.

Yay! Mimi, I found "Trees in the Park!" I have a book called The New Quilting and Patchwork Dictionary that I bought back in the 80's and I found it in there! I love that quilt so I've put it on my list of quilts to make. Thanks for sharing your Mom's quilts with us. Hugs.

I checked out your album and your quilts are lovely. YOu do wonderful work.

Thanks for the comment on the patriotic teddy bear fabric. To tell you the truth I can't remember where I got it. But since I have never bought online I can say it had to have been either Joanne's or Wal-Mart and at least 11 or 12 years ago. I wish I had a few yards of it and I would send you a yard, but I don't. At the time I was making little girl dresses for a friend's daughter to start Kindergarten. If I come across any like it or similar I will try to snatch it up and then let you know I have it.

Pat, Your quilts are so pretty. I really like the bright colors w/dots and the purple & turquoise quilt. Beautiful work!

Hi Pat, thanks for your kind comments. There originally was a machine on the table, but I pulled it to bits to try and fix it, and needlesss to say it stayed in bits. I love the table - spent many hours rust ridding it and painting it in a high gloss black. The topper is hand pieced, it was an ongoing project for many years and I only just decided I had the right place for it, so finished it and I added the lace, think it works well.

Pat, I just needed to come in here and tell you how much I enjoy looking through your Gallery. The Lone Star journey has been a delight. But I love all your work and soooo admire your quilting. Beautiful, beautiful!

I just made a jelly roll quilt out of that fabric, it didn't toot my horn either, but it will go with my living room! I love the strong colors, but my basic decor is sage green. That doesn't really go with pink, purples and turquoise!

I love your halfhex quilt pattern. I'm curious where you got the fabric. I found that fabric at Tuesday morning, and thought it might have originally come from Wal-Mart or Hobby Lobby.
