Lets take a break from NYC memories to look at a quilt I recently made from Barbara Brackman's new line of fabric:
This fabric will be available in the Fall, and is called "Lately Arrived from London". Barbara has written a book that tells about the inspiration for this fabric, and about cotton prints and patchwork from before 1820. The book is available here from Blurb. As long as you are putting together a Blurb order, you might as well get Barbara's book "A Book of the Saints for Quilters" too. It is a handy reference for finding which saint to pray to for help with finding scissors or keeping fabric colorfast. Very funny, very clever.
I guess you could also add in a copy of the catalog from the "Play exhibit that my quilt "Why Always War?" was in too, if you are feeling extravagant...
A beautiful quilt. Kathe
