I finished both this week. This is her third novel, I think. I have enjoyed all of them. Now I'm waiting for the next...
The quilt is finished too. I took some outdoor pictures. No-one to help me hold it up, so just bits and pieces...
The cherrywood fabrics are so soft to touch - lovely. "Quilt it - make do" finished at 34" * 66". I used Quilters Dream cotton Select for batting, and perle cotton no 16 for the hand quilting.
You can still see the chalk pencil marks for baptist fan on the background fabric. I'm sure it will disappear over time, or in washing.
Feels good to have sunny days. Let's hope they will stay for a while.Happy sewing!

W.O.W.! You could have put that on the quilt as well! I absolutely adore your liberated amish churn dash quilt and the letters are fab!
i love that your book cover and quilt coordinate
Your wonky letters are wonderful.Do you use Tonya's instructions? So are the churn dash blocks. I sure like Baptist fans, don't you. Congrats on another awesome quilt, Marit!
WOW!!!!
Such richness of color. Really a wonderful combination of design, color and quilting.

Oh Marit. It is absolutely fantastic!! What a statement. Lovely, lovely, lovely! Thank you for sharing it:)
I love it! I do love a wonky churn dash. I'll have to look into those books - I'm always looking for a good book to read.
This just amazing! The design and the quilting fit so well together.
Thanks for the book mention too... I'm always looking for new authors.

Oh, all those wonderful little hand stitches! Marvelous, a true masterpeice. I love quilts that say something! It is so beautiful.
I too hope we can have blue skies and sunny days for at least the next two months. I think we deserve it after the bitterly cold winter we had.
