Let's start with some finished quilts!
I love the "Cloisonne" print by Kaffe Fassett, especially in the Peachy colorway. I used this for the back of this quilt as well as for inspiration when choosing other prints.
The pattern is just a nine patch and alternating square, on point.
A closer look.
Andrew's quilting.
Next up...
This is a "Sweet Jane" pattern called Sassy Frass. I used Kona Cotton in "Stone" for the background. The focus fabric is by Alexander Henry called "Little Farm" in the "Monkey Business" line.
I used the farm print for the back and binding.
This was so fun to make! Andrew quilted "furrows" like a plowed field, clever!
Our latest "Easy Peasy" table runner uses again, Cloissonne in Peach, yum!
Another runner...Judith is famous for her "Easy Striped Table Runners" designed by Karen Montgomery for The Quilt Company. This is one of our Robert Kaufman fruity prints, Apples.

Last but not least...Andrew did a great job painting 2 quilt blocks for the side of our barn and our shop. Take a look...
This is a 4x4 foot block painted on plywood.
So if you are driving down route 100 between Londonderry and Weston, look for the quilt blocks!
Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer!
See you soon!
