Weyburn Revisited

Look What Bonnie Did

She made this quilt for her brother Jerry using my Weyburn block.
She made the name Jerry to go on the back using my Connaught alphabet.
I think she did an excellent job of both.

I designed the block for the quilters in Weyburn Saskatchewan when I did a trunk show there.

It's made from three pieced strips.

 You might want to try making a Weyburn quilt of your own.

Another Look At Weyburn

Brenda King sent me a smilebox for participating in the Weyburn quilt show. I'd never even heard of a smilebox before let alone received one. I thought you might like to see this one: smilebox

This Is Me

In Weyburn Saskatchewan

Linda and I just got back from Weyburn Saskatchewan, where every 2 years the Weyburn Crocus Quilters put on a quilt show.

We had a great time and were impressed by the wonderful quilts we saw and the wonderful quilters we met.

A Quick Update

A month ago I showed you this quilt (On The Road to Weyburn) while my wife was still working on it and before it had borders. I thought you might like to see it finished.

I Have To Show You This

This is the quilt my wife Linda is currently working on.

She took the Weyburn block that I showed you in my last post; decided to make it scrappy and added some sashing.

I don't know if you can imagine this quilt without the sashing. But I can tell you it was nowhere near as interesting or lively. I think the sashing was a brilliant idea.

Often it's the little things that make all the difference.

Three Very Different

Identical Blocks

It is possible to dramatically change not only the superficial appearance but also the basic design of a quilt block by changing how it is colored.

I'm going to explore some of the possibilities using a simple block.
