tons of new Japanese fabrics in...something for everyone

 

 

 

the Portland Peel is looking good over our fireplace!

We in Portland are so lucky to have such an amazing and talented group of quilt artists in our own back yard. The latest quilt we are happy to showcase over our fireplace is "Portland Peel" courtesy of Jill Collins.

She started with this,  

then using the Portland Peel template set

she came up with this!

 The Portland Peel Template Set was a collaboration between Jill at http://momstreet.blogspot.com/  and Rachel Kerley at http://2ndavenuestudio.blogspot.com/ .  They've even got a downloadable PDF idea book available.    If you're a local you can purchase the template set at cool cottons and save on shipping, if not,  head over to www.tabslot.com and start your own Portland Peel. 

Many thanks to Linda for allowing us to showcase her quilt for the last couple of months.   http://www.coolcottons.biz/blog/2013/3/1/changing-out-the-fireplace-artnew-quilt-by-linda.html
