Something New and a Winner

I'm always on Ebay or Esty looking for an old quilt or quilt blocks.  I was on Facebook and saw that Ann Hermes had listed some quilts and blocks for sale.  I couldn't afford the quilts (although I really wanted them).  I saw a block and my heart stood still....



It is so beautiful.  The background has some staining on it...but that is okay. I want to replicate it.  It is 22" square and the roses have reverse applique.

Here is a close up of the rose.


I can't wait to start tracing all the pieces and making one of my own.  Wouldn't it make a beautiful quilt.

I tried to get the link for her shop but it wouldn't work.  But if you go to Esty you can search for annhermes1 and it will take you to her shop.


Now for the WINNER....

Congratulations to Patti who said:

I follow you on bloglovin.  I love your primitive quit, it's gorgeous.

I've sent an email to Patti congratulating her.

Thanks to all that entered and are following.  You have all made my day.


Well, I have printed up the directions for 3 of my 5 BOMs so I think I will keep my self busy on this cold blustery day.  It is snowing and blowing and my sewing room is nice and warm.

Have a great weekend.

Hugs, Cathy
