In early February I was contacted by Amy Shuter, a quilter who was requesting permission to use a pattern from our book, Small Quilts with Vintage Charm by Jo Morton, to make a quilt in honor of her mother that would be sold to benefit the Alzheimer Art Quilt Initiative. Now, I receive quite a few permission requests, but this is the first time someone has shared the end result with me. This message made my day, and I thought our blog readers would enjoy it as well.

Thanks so much for the permission to use the pattern. I waited till I finished the quilt to thank you for the permission–just thought you might like to see it. I have now finished the mini-quilt and turned it in so it can be auctioned. The picture shows how much I love this design. I have now made it 3 times! The largest one (with 1/2 in logs) is on my dining room table as a table topper. The middle sized one (with 1/4 in logs) is on the wall. Thanks so much for the fun pattern design and for the permission to sell the smallest one to raise money for Alzheimer’s research.

On another subject, after looking at a dozen or more books on machine quilting at the quilt shop, I purchased Machine Quilting Solutions by Christine Maraccini. I am currently practicing drawing my designs on a dry erase board and looking forward to quilting a twin size quilt soon using ideas from this book. Thanks for your help on yet another project!

Sincerely,
Amy Shuter
