April Schnibbles

My Schnibbles quilt for April is done! I went in a little different direction this month. Instead of a charm pack I used some leftovers from my Heather Bailey fabrics. It looks a little more modern and very different from the original.

Here's the original pattern. You almost wouldn't guess it's from this pattern!

AQS Show

Welcome to my new blog home. I've just moved in permanently so watch for a little redecorating in the future.

Last week was the annual trip to Paducah for the American Quilters' Society Quilt Show. It's fun, inspiring and a bit costly. Caught up in the excitement the cash flows freely.

Here are a few of my favorite quilts. There were tons of amazing quilts, but I usually photograph the ones that maybe I have a chance of making. I forgot my camera, so they are phone pictures. Not the best!

This was just fascinating for me. Each letter featured a block - kind of like a kid's ABC book.

Some of my purchases. Some "Botany" charm packs - may be next month's Schnibble.

And this mod, retro group. I'm so attracted to vivid color lately (maybe the eyes are going). I've got big plans for this. Stay tuned!!

Thanks for visiting my new home. I'd love if you'd leave me a comment - so I know that it's working - even if you just say "hi". If you have any problems with this site, please let me know by emailing me at cindy@hyacinthquiltdesigns.com. Come back soon!!
