🌈RSC Dark/Bright Blues🟦

I'm doing the Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) again in 2023! It's a great way to work through your scraps, month by month, and turn them into quilts!

January's RSC color is dark and bright blue! Angela @ SuperScrappy posts a color every month.

Meadowland 🌾

Meadowland is definitely my all-time favorite quilt pattern--I've made 6 of them so far! For me, the next best thing to making a Meadowland is quilting a Meadowland!!! Here's a beautiful Tula Pink fabric version made by Missy!!!

Lucy Boston Day

Happy birthday, Lucy Boston! She would be celebrating her 130th birthday today. Lucy Boston, famous to quilters for her "Patchwork of the Crosses" quilt, was also a British author, an artist, and a restorer of an old cottage and English garden. She was born on December 10, 1892 in Southport, England, and lived to the age of 97. 

This is Lucy Boston's original quilt called "Patchwork of the Crosses", made in the 1950's: 

Tama Quilters is a small group of quilt friends that met in each other's homes in Tokyo, Japan, in the 2000's. We continue to do biannual "summer homework" where we make 6 blocks--one to keep and five to swap with the other members. For the summer of 2019 it was decided we would make Patchwork of the Crosses blocks! Here's my finished POTC quilt!!! ⤵️
