Spelling Bee by Lori Holt
'Berry' fat quarter bundle
'Low Volume' fat quarter bundle
I just realized, looking back through some previous posts, that I hadn’t followed up by showing photos of how I spent my gift certificates that I won for my modern quilt entries at the Saskatoon Quilt show. Believe it or not, I had searched the entire vendors’ market at the show, looking for Lori Holt’s Spelling Bee book, but to no avail. I have big plans for a New Year’s project which requires extensive lettering, so imagine my surprise to find the book on Darla’s website at www.clintonmoderncreative.com
The book was the first thing into my shopping cart but I still had more money to spend (Darla was a very generous sponsor of the quilt show). I also purchased the two lovely fat quarter bundles pictured above, with no planned project in mind for either. But what’s not to love about that lovely bundle of blues and violets? and low volumes are always a good stash builder in my books, right?
until tomorrow, carol
Cool book! I can hardly wait to see what you make with it. xoxo
I have some sketches I’ve been working on that will become a reality in the new year and I know this book will really come in handy. I have Lori Holt’s other book, too, called Farmgirl Vintage, and this one is a good companion to that one. The little motifs in this book work out to the same size as the others in the first book, so if I wanted to make a larger quilt, keeping the blocks in the same style, I could. Or if I wanted to swap out the American flag in the first book I could replace it with that super cute vintage camper/trailer.
