2nd Charming Thursday - Stitches II

My second collection of fabric for Moda, Stitches on the Oregon Trail II, was designed to complement Stitches I so that quilt shops would have the fabric needed for the BOM all year. (Quilt shops love BOM's, fabric companies hate them.)I was just relieved to not have to come up with another name. Our project using this group was called A Collection of Stitches. It featured seasonal wall quilts and several lap size quilts and pillow projects using Stitches I & II. The book is out of print now, but we remade one of my favorites from the book, Red Brick Road, once Jelly Rolls made their debut a few years ago. It hangs in the retreat kitchen where I can admire it during lunch. One of my sons has his eye on it and would like to have it "whenever you get tired of it, Mom", but he may have to wait until I die. I never get tired of the classic red/tan color combo and the graphic appeal of the rows and rows of strips. This pattern will be on special for $5 -this week only- if you call Robert at 785-488-2120. And we have the charm pack of Stitches II ready to go to another persistent quilter. Good luck, ladies!

    I'm loving Aunt Edna's Scrapbag lying on the bed it just grabs me.The colors are lovely, a gorgeous pattern with room for quilting. Tell Robert he did good with the photography.

    It's fun reading the history behind some of your pattern lines. I wasn't a quilter 10 years ago so this is "new" news for me. Love the fabric on your header. I love paisley:)

    I still think I have a scrap or 2 of that collection in my box. I also made the Red Brick Road after seeing it several times in the lunch room there in Bennington.

    Oh I love Red Brick Road. I am salivating at the fabrics of Stitches on the Oregon Trail II. Another that I didn't have as I wasn't quilting then. What a great gift to win some of those. As always, your color choices and patterns are WONDERFUL. Seing your earlier fabrics is no wonder that I LOVE Kansas Troubles fabric lines. You are really wonderful to do these Thursday giveaways and we are blessed that we can be recipients.
    THank you again.

    I've used some of the Stitches on The Oregon Trail in one of my original quilts.
    Love the Red & Tan Red Brick Road. A couple of years ago I made the star pattern, which seems similar with a jelly roll called Snow Blooms.
