CARIBBEAN QUILTERS

I just love this picture! This Quilt was made for my niece from ‘Layer Cakes’. I love the fabrics and had such fun putting them together. The pattern was by Cozy Quilt Design, simple and relaxing. What are ‘Layer Cakes’ ? ‘Layer Cakes’ are a fabric line of 40 10” squares. It’s one of the many ingredients from Moda Bake Shop. I have just finished a top using ‘Layer Cakes’ and ‘Jelly Rolls’....there are also 'Honey Buns' and 'Turnovers'...I find the names so cute! Amazing idea! With these sweet ingredients make a quilt for a friend in need - “A friend is someone that knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you forget the words" - author unknown Happy Quilting, 'Carolyn'

The weather we have been experiencing thus far is just perfect for quilting. I have been enjoying the cool of my Quilt Cottage and quiet time with my fabrics, stroking and creating new projects. Hmmm…. the fabrics are so beautiful in today’s market. I have been featured in one of our local magazines, Health, Home and Garden Jamaica, Fall/Winter ‘08’ Issue which is available both on the local and International Market. Take a peek and enjoy the wonderful articles. http://www.hhgmagazine.com/contents.php Remember each quilt tells a story, Your story! 'Carolyn' 'Live today as you wish to be remembered'

Jan wanted to make her dream a reality She wanted her family to wrap in the warmth and comfort of her hands. Jan made her first quilt. Congratulations Jan and Enjoy! National Quilt Day is March 21st 2009. National Quilt Day began in 1991 and is celebrated on the third Saturday of March. This is the day to appreciate how we have been blessed with an amazing talent that has brought warmth to not only ourselves but to our loved ones and those in need of the comfort of love. If you are not a quilter, wrap yourself in a quilt, enjoy the warmth and reflex on the hands that have made quilts from generations to generations. Lets all take the time to make the block put out by The National Quilt Association. We are on a journey of ‘serious times’. Have fun with your block and please send me photos of you finished block so we can share with others. http://www.nqaquilts.org/NatQuiltDay.php Good Luck!
