Enablers!

YES!!! We Quilters are all Enablers!  I took the Loyal Union Sampler book out to Lynn for her Birthday, and you know how one thing leads to another, right?
She is sitting in her Fabric/Quilt Shop after all, how fun can that be??  We found some Civil War type fabrics for her to think about.
Then she saw the quilt on page 9.  She has almost all of the ALOHA fabric line from Red Rooster that Jennifer made a beautiful quilt out of with only 35 of the Loyal Union Sampler Blocks.
It occurred to us that we could make that one easily in a short time. I came home and inspected the page the quilt is on and made a chart of which blocks go where and what page they are on, etc.
 I even found where Jennifer got her inspiration to make the quilt HERE and HERE.

I had to go back out yesterday and show her what I found.  Then I got to cut some fabric for us to make this quilt.  The stripe is a Fat Quarter I had from somewhere I went, I don't remember where??  We hope that the FQ will be enough to make the 6 blocks we need that use it. 

This Aloha fabric isn't in any stores that are local other than Lynn's Thread and Bolts.

We made the top for our Sylvia's Bridal Sampler in 9 Month's time.

 I wonder how long it will take us to make the Loyal Union Sampler.

Next week-end is the Ricky Tims/Alex Anderson/Melnda Bula Seminar in the Tri-cities. There will even be a Ricky Tims Concert! I've heard only great things about that!

I'm so excited to meet Ricky and Alex!  I just saw Alex has a new quilting book out.  I can get her sign mine in person.  YEA!  Go HERE to watch her u-tube video. If you want a copy of her new Book go HERE.

If I'm feeling really nice I might get an extra copy and have a Giveaway... 

How many of my fellow Bloggers would be interested in that??
