First Snow!


Usually the first snowfall of the year is greeted with my grumblings in October but for this to be postponed to Nov 6 there are no grumblings from me this year!
The snow has also supplied a nice setting for Blanche's stunning quilt that she made for her granddaughter. The pattern is called Midnight Sun by Jinny Beyer.  You can find the pattern in the Nov/Dec 2008 issue of Love of Quilting.


She wanted very simple quilting with a fun bright coloured thread.   So I used the Fascination panto and a bright purple Lava thread. This is the same panto I used on the Black and White quilt from the last post.

  2. We have got to find the name of this pattern! I too think it is stunning; even more so after it has been quilted. Fascination is a great name for this panto and its effect on Blanche's quilt. Kudos to both the piecer and the longarmer. A

  4. I'm bringing the quilt to Blanche tomorrow so I'll ask her the name of the pattern and add it to the blog post. I think she mentioned it was from a magazine.
