Blocks for Sandy Relief Quilt Three, waiting to be startched and pressed, then trimed and sewn. These gorgeous blocks were made by Julia from Perth in Western Australia, Heather from Charleston, SC, and the Triangle Square Quilt Guild in Shelby, Montana. It's fun to look at the many different bits of fabric in each block and wonder about its origins or original purpose--a girl's dress, perhaps, or another quilt project?
This is the third night of Chanukah. The flickering glow reflected in the brick-framed window conjurs up winter stories and fables in my mind. I imagine a cold, weary traveler finding her way up the hill by following the light in the window of this close-to-the road farm house (built in 1705).
SRQ Two--the top is nearly finished. I will also post pictures of each finished quilt before they are sent off. The rich, varied colors and wide variety of patterns show that many hands worked to make this quilt!
