From the Archives!
Deepa T. is a long-time in-town customer. She sent us this picture of her finished Kaleido Stack 'n Whack quilt from the class she had taken with us in 2006. Back then, our store was fully involved with all things stacked and then whacked - to the point we made it into Marti Michell's "Kaleidoscope ABC's" book. We loved Marti's Kaleido ruler and taught many customers the beauty of large-print fabric when the repeat is stacked eight deep and then cut into block pieces. I distinctly remember this fabric that Deepa purchased, and I'm so grateful she sent me her pictures of her finished quilt. It is so rich and vibrant. Deepa does her own quilting and used Glide on the front and back.
And as a bonus blast-from-the-past memory, Deepa has framed and hung some of her Elegance Block Bonanza blocks from 2008. Some of our customers will recognize them! Don't those spare blocks look wonderful on the wall!
Thanks so much Deepa for finishing the quilt and sharing this picture with us.
