I so enjoyed this post seeing the quilts from the Kansas Mennonite Relief Sale. The link provided a wonderful quilt show. I haven't been to one in years, and this is a reminder of how much I miss going. Oh, the food is always really good too, and all for such a good cause.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful quilts and so nice that they raised so much to help others. I would love to find a group to work with, for charity quilts, hard to find groups around here.

Thought I'd share my Scrap Happy version I made a couple years ago from my repro stash. http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/30070_135101786505461_4581163_n.jpg I don't usually comment but am a big fan! Going to the Packwood House Museum tomorrow to enjoy their collection of PA quilts. Joanne
ReplyDeleteI just love the Scrap Happy quilt. It would be a great raffle quilt for our guild. Any idea which Better Homes and Garden quilt magazine they found the pattern? I have all the issues but don't have an idea where to start looking. Miriam
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts! I've always wanted to attend one of the Mennonite Relief Sales. I could never afford to pay those prices, but I'd love to see the quilts in person.
ReplyDeleteMiriam---no idea. Sorry. Does anybody have the magazine issue?
ReplyDeleteSo funny that's my pattern scrap happy. Will look it up to see what issue it is in, AP & Q magazine

Yeah! I finally found the Scrap Happy Quilt pattern. A wallhanging size pattern was orginally in an issue of American Patchwork & Quilting Magazine. www.allpeoplequilt.com has the directions for the quilt. The project is called "1930's Scrappy Wall Hanging" and was inspired by "Scrappy Happy" from designer Kathie Holland. Thank you Kathie.
ReplyDeleteBarbara, Muchísimas Gracias por Compartir tanta Historia y Bellezas. With Love.
ReplyDeleteThank You From Venezuela.
Scrap Happy so describes the art and past time that makes us happy. It is hard to describe the joy of seeing quilts. But Scrap Joy has no ring to it! Thanks.
