Cover Blocks: New Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns

Sara Seuberling at Electric Quilt designed
the new 400+ page Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns.

She's been sending me updates on design for months. I just realized where the images on the cover came from!

Doh!

From you guys. You probably recognized your own blocks. A long time ago we asked people to mail in blocks made from the indexed patterns in the old book and BlockBase.

And you did, thank you very much.

Sally R. #854 Pine Tree Quilt from
the Laura Wheeler/Alice Brooks syndicate

Sara and Jenny Novitsky took the blocks out into the neighborhood
to photograph. Here's Sally's Pine Tree out in the woods.

 

Joyce D.'s #2765, Arkansas Centennial from
the Kansas City Star

Barbara Burnham's #3872
Sacramento from Hearth & Home
(It's a good thing you guys are piecing these instead of me.
Look at all those points and they are perfect.)

Addison's #1646a Churn Dash

Addison is 9 years old!
She has a good teacher in her grandmother Denniele.

Her block illustrates the page on how to figure out
the seam lines.

#1071 by Linda Simon, Storm at Sea
from Coats & Clark

Sara used these pretty shots to illustrate each
chapter. Linda's is for the chapter on patterns
that require a block and a sashing for the repeat.

#2846 by Brenda Plaster
Jack's Delight from Clara Stone catalog,
a Nine-X Block

1102a by Tony Schoen
A Four Patch
It's just a checkerboard of 16 squares but Tony shaded it innovatively.

And there are some on the back cover too.




I see #1627b by Jean Wall,
Texas from Nancy Page
A Nine Patch

#1644 by Anita Grossman Solomon
Another Nine Patch in dramatic fashion.

Anita's block got sliced by the binding; it's peeking out on
back and front covers.
Sorry, Anita.

We certainly appreciate your sending those blocks, stitchmeisters!

  2. A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
    Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
