Here's another new sample made by Sharlot. We call it all that Jazz, made from Dab of Jazz fabric. Many new contemporary fabric lines have such unusual color comobinations. This would make a lovely porch quilt.

We recorded the ninth program in our Quilting with Julie TV Series yesterday. I can't believe we are already so for along. Click here if you'd like to read more about our series.

Sharlot just finished this Building Blocks quilt. She used a fat quarter pack of Nicey Jane by Heather Bailey. Do you know someone who should take one along to college in the Fall?

It almost felt like Winter around here yesterday - strong winds, cool temperatures and lots of rain. I just checked out my Hostas and they really took a beating.

Karen's been diligently working on our new block of the month. She already has five blocks finished. I'll be posting each month's blocks on our website. I've created a new page,
"Photos of Interest" to show you these and other photos. You might want to check it often.

As of today, we still have about 4 or 5 membership left. You should call right away if you want to particpate.

Our friend Linda made this quilt as an anniversary gift. The figures are cut from a photo and all the rest is her own landscape design. Several years ago she used this method to make a fabulous quilt depicting vacations she and her husband had taken with friends, I think she is going to enter it in our Tivoli Fest quilt show.
Entries for the show ar starting to come in, but we can still use more.

It's May so it must be time for Halloween and Christmas - at least in the fabric business. Alexander Henry has this line called Haunted House. There's Sebastian Ghastly, Ghastly Harvest, Ghastly Forest and Ghastly Bats - the most sophistcated Halloween line I've seen. I jusdt added them all to our online store. We also got another Halloween line and three Christmas Lines. We'll be making samples soon.

We have just six more spaces in our Block of the Month.

Yesterday I finished block nine, Sunrise, for our TV series. I also managed to get the DVD's for each of the programs on our online shop. It should make it easier for those of you who don't get the show.

This is what has been keeping me busy for the last few days. I just finished this quilt top forFons & Porter's Love of Quilting magazine. I believe it will be in their September issue. All the fabrics are from my fabric line, Prairie Homefront.
I used my pattern from about five years ago, Star Baskets. At the time of publication kits will be available from the magazine and also from us.

I'm home today and hope to work on the next block in the block of the month for our TV series, Quilting with Julie. At this point if you don't receive cable from Marne Elk Horn Telephone Conpany you can download each month's pattern on our website. We also sell videos of each program. Soon I hope to have the videos on our website.

Carol tells me we have space for about ten more particpants in the shop block of the month that starts in this month. We're using Lori Smith's Aunt Maggie's Patchwork Quilt and my fabric line. I blogged about this a few days ago. To be sure to get signed up, call the shop 712-764-7012. If you call today (Tuesday) you can speak directly to Carol.
