I joined a swap to trade miniature Amish quilts. This Amish Abstractions book is the bomb. The quilts are breathtaking.
It just so happened Beth was giving a paper piecing demonstration at Sew Day and the pattern she offered had a little Amish look to it.
Ta da, one finished Amish mini quilt.
The big winners from the
giveaway are: Pam, Barb, and Michelle. Congratulations ladies. I'll get your goodies in the mail this week. Thanks to everyone for playing.
Nice Amish quilt there.

ReplyDeleteLove your Amish mini!!! Thanks for the give away!! Winning was a much needed bright spot to my week :-)
ReplyDeleteI love your blue and red mini. Congrats give away winners-yay for all of you.
ReplyDeleteLike you, Michele, I fell in love with the Amish style and was lucky enough to see the exhibition Amish Abstractions at DeYoung in San Francisco couple years ago. I purchased the book and have spent many an hour poring over the inimitable photos. Solids appear in all my pieces altho none has been solids only yet. Speaking of Yet !~!
Bucket List: Amish mini quilts (for all i love, maybe!). I grew up near Lancaster county PA and well remember the people themselves and their immaculate homesteads. Hex signs adorned all barns and I still visualize them at odd moments under stress.
