Swatch Sheets for Hazel Ilene's Quilt Along



I checked in with Shelly on her Prairie Moon blog and her new blog for the Hazel Ilene's Diary quilt along and I went ahead and signed up. It will be a year long event with small quilting tasks to do along the way while I enjoy reading portions of her mother's diary. It sounds like so much fun. Shelly already has many fine vintage photo uploaded to go with her mother's story.
If it sounds interesting, I'd like to encourage you to click on the button in my side bar.

Hope you can join us in the fun. Bloggers and well as readers are signing up to quilt along.

My baskets hold fabrics for both the 67" x 84" and the smaller one that will be 33 1/2" x 42". Both will be planned around a red and a creamy golden yellow color scheme.

You're doing both! That's so exciting! I love your fabrics. You can't go wrong with red and yellow . . .

oh, those fabrics will be perfect! so pretty and fresh...I love the concept and might just follow along as an "observer" it is such an interesting idea, but I will have a hard time keeping up with it for a year.

Those are pretty choices of colours. I'm going to have a look after this.
Thank you for visiting my place- my Mom always says 'one person's rubbish is another's treasure.' All our family have learned to give eacher other the pick of throwouts before they leave the house as so often we can re-use things. I like your Christmas card story!

I love your fabrics. I can't wait to see how it all develops. Let's hope I can keep up with the rest of you :) I will be lost in learning and cognition most of the next 14 weeks :-/
