Quilting the table runner!

Have you heard? Pantone has announced its color of the year–and it’s two colors, Rose Quartz and Serenity (blue). Pretty! For more, here are some links:

Last week I mentioned a quilter whose applique designs I greatly admired. Turns out her name is Jan Patek, and her website is here:

I’ve been enjoying a blog called A Quilter’s Table as well as the monthly email newsletter Debbie sends out with all sorts of interesting links. For more, go here:
