Hi First name / friend,
 
Welcome to the latest edition of the Quiltblox eNewsletter! I'm delighted to have you as a member of this creative community!
 
In this edition: Patriotic Quilts, Introducing Quiltblox Kitchen, and some of my favorite quilty treasures.
 
I Love a Patriotic Quilt
 
 
Patriotic quilts are some of my favorite projects to make. With the fourth of July coming right up - I thought it would be fun to share a couple of projects that can be made up quickly - even in time to celebrate this year. Old Glory is a 12" x 40" banner or wall hanging (or bench pillow). Block by Block is a quick-to-piece 66" x 78" quilt - perfect for picnics and watching the fireworks.

Not much quilting has happened in my life for the past few weeks. I've been extra busy learning about a diabetic and heart-healthy diet to help a family member who's been in denial about both of these health issues. The denial has ended and while they are working on regaining their health I am experimenting with recipes that meet these dietary needs - and that are also delicious. 
 
One recipe, in particular, is so good - I've made it twice in the past 2 weeks. I thought you might enjoy making it too.

Upcoming Events

It's almost time for the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show!  If you haven't been - it's quite the (wonderful) experience. I'm also working on adding lots of new shows to the event calendar. Check it often, there's something fun to attend - nearly every month of 2024! 
 

 
Thank you so much for being part of this Quiltblox Creative Community! 
 
You inspire me to keep creating and I appreciate your support!
 
I hope you have some fun projects in the works! I have another one in process that I can't wait to show you. It's back from the quilter (thank you, Teresa!) and I'm working on finishing up the pattern. I'm so excited about this one - it's different than anything I've done before! I'll be sharing it with you soon. In the meantime …
 
Happy Stitching!
