Dear friends,
I just returned from Shipshewana and will be working on a smile box of show and tell and shopping.
I thought I would enclose a special event that took place in Shipshewana. Some of us quilters were reproducing the quilt below that is hanging in a church cabin in Shipshewana. It was a quilt that was made about 1900, we didn’t know the size of it so we all interpret what we thought from a photograph. It was so much fun to be able to visit the original quilt and have a picture taken with it.
We had so much fun reproducing the quilt,
This was so much fun, and I recommend it for any quilting group or just a group of friends. Stay tuned for more Shipshewana news and downsizing.
Happy stitching,
Rosemary
I wondered about this quilt. Was this a challenge from Rebecca Herrar, or? Something new this year? Every interpretation is super.
Is that poison green? I love that color! I love that it’s nines. Everyone did a lovely job and it’s very inspiring to do one myself. Thanks so much for sharing.
They all look so beautiful !
You are so cute! Love your repro quilt. Looks like great friends to sew with too. Re the poison green…..I am making yoyo strippie quilt featured in last issue of BH&G PW quilt magazine, halfway through w/yoyos and had enough poison green solid for the background. It will be fabulous! Thanks for your sharings! Judy DeGraff, Fortuna, CA
The quilt is beautiful and all the ladies are too.
