More News From Arnold


Arnold is recovering from his heart attack last summer. He sent photos of a reception that a local quilt shop hosted in November to celebrate the Moda fabric collection named for him. Friends and neigbors came to say hi. This is his cousin Cheri who made him a miniature Christmas stocking from the selvages from the fabric line.


The shop is Angelics:
A Quilters Haven in Canton, Ohio

Many of you sent get-well notes after the heart attack. They were greatly appreciated. He sent well-wishers a handmade reply.

And I received a handmade Christmas card of antique prints.


Arnold's Attic came out last fall. It reproduces
 turn-of-the-20th-century prints from Arnold's stash in his attic.

Here he's sitting in front of a top made from the collection.

Here's a free pattern for this Ohio Star Puzzle.

I found another quilt made from Arnold's Attic prints
 at the Etsy store called Pieces of Pine.
If you still have your Jelly Roll strips this strip quilt
 would be a good way to use them.

Arnold says he's doing well. His many friends are glad to hear it.

Help please..
I found a picture of a quilt with a nice block pattern in internet. Unfortunately, there was no title to or a label. Maybe there is somebody in blogland can help me? I would intressted the name and perhaps the history of the pattern.
It was a wonderful two-color quilt in blue and white. I made a sketchy picture and put in my blog.
I would be happy to answer a helping.
greets from Berlin/Germany
