Months since the last post…It seems ditzy, but I cannot tell a lie… I lost the username and password to the blog and couldn’t get any help from Wordpress, so I just let it go. Nearly five months to be exact. After some digging and determination, I found it all by myself. Hurray for dyed blondes! In the meantime, the book with Freddy and Gwen is coming along wonderfully.

We are just finishing up design comps, and have spent weeks tossing around the title. Here is the winner:  Freddy &  Gwen Collaborate Again: Freewheeling Takes on Traditional Quilt Designs

They have lots in store! Here is a quilt they call Spider Web.

We are just about to go into production on another wonderful quilt book by Myrah Brown Green. http://www.myrahbrowngreen.com  Myrah is a scholar of cultural symbols and fabric as well as an avid quilter. She shares how to make pieced blocks of cultural symbols from around the world. Here is one of the finished quilts that will be in the book and below it is one of the instructional spreads showing the Ankh symbol.quilts_multi-page_page_03.jpg Pieced Symbols AnkhShe’ll teach readers the meaning and origin of the symbol, and provide patterns and precise instructions on how to make the blocks. It will give quilters their very own take on going global!
