Flower Power Challenge

WAY last fall, I posed a challenge to my quilting friends.  $10 bought a kit for the "Flower Power" Challenge.  Inside was two half-yard pieces of "challenging" fabric and an instruction sheet.

Quilters were asked to make an ORIGINAL quilt using the two half-yard pieces of fabric, illustrating in some way the flower power/peace/love/spring theme.  Any size, other fabrics could be added as long as the original two were included.  Quilts were due before the start of the Romancing Eastern North Carolina Shop Hop which begins tomorrow, February 1.  Viewers' Choice among the shop hoppers will determine the winner of a mighty nice gift basket.

Here are the Flower Power quilts, in no particular order.  Makers' names will be revealed after voting is complete.

I appreciate the effort of these quilters!  They range in age from 10 to 80.  The winner will be announced on Sunday, February 13.

Winter Weather Closing

Just to be on the safe side, 

Cotton Fields will be closed Friday due to winter weather.

 

Turtle Topper

There is a brand new pattern at Cotton Fields Quilt Shop.

Turtle Topper is the 40th pattern I've written for the shop.  I love turtles.

Four little turtles playing musical chairs!  Available now, $6.00 each.  The table topper finishes 20" x 20".

Christmas Miniatures

Christmas in JANUARY???

This deal from P&B Textiles was too good to pass up and I'm passing the savings on to YOU.  Here are eight prints from the "Christmas Miniatures" collection.

Of course, this is premium quality fabric and I'm happy to be able to offer it at $10.99 yard.  What I really like about this collection is the smaller scale.  You can cut it up to piece Christmas projects without worrying about spoiling a big motif.

Happy New Year
