So my sister wrote a book. It was released a couple of weeks ago. (If you’ve been under a rock and didn’t know this, see the previous post). Her publisher, The Kansas City Star, sent a copy of her book to AQS. AQS then asked Trisch to write an article for their magazine, American Quilter. Trisch asked if I would like to quilt one of the quilts for the magazine. Of course I said “yes!”
After finding out that our FedEx delivery person needs some glasses I received the quilt top and back a few weeks ago. (The package was delivered to a neighbor whose house number doesn’t look anything like mine. Last week he tried to deliver someone else’s package to me but I saw the addressee on the package before signing for it. But I digress.)
Now that I’ve taken you around the block with my story I’ll tell you that I completely enjoyed working on this quilt! I had a couple of frustrating moments but I learned from them. I cannot show you the whole quilt yet, but it is beautiful! I love the colors she used too!
As promised, here are a couple of pictures of the quilt.
This will be in the Winter 2014 issue of American Quilter.

Beautiful workmanship.
Tammy, love your creativity. Ana
Ooh la la! I love it! And, are those diagonal lines? If so, they can be the hardest thing ever to stitch! Great work!
You’re not kidding, Ida! I regretted that design choice on more than one occasion!
Is this the first time (quilt for which) you’ve tried it? O_O
I’ve done it before but I had a lot more reference points to keep me on track. Lesson learned!
Short lines or cross-hatch isn’t so bad. It’s the “supposed to be” straight lines that go all the way across the quilt diagonally with no cross-hatch that will get you.
