PAPER
PANACHE, IMAGES & IDEAS FOR PAPER PIECING
10/17/98 Page 3

Birdies... Sidney Dickson of Chico, CA sent me her mailbird
after writing: "It seems appropriate that we crazy quilters who trade fabric squares
should have a mailbox square. I have enlarged the block and will probably add
some additional sky and maybe grass or flowers at the bottom." She
sent me this photo and added,"The embellishment on the one envelope is due to
the fact it didn't show up against the light colors of the other envelope and
the box. So far I've made the flower cart and the mailbox to send and both recipients
are delighted with them." Beach babies...Mary
Ann Kowalski writes: "I worked up a beach patchwork top with the boy and girl
angels minus the wings. The quilt top came out looking like two children playing
in the sand on the beach."
Football
Mom booster sweatshirt...Sandy Schuster writes: "I just finished
the cheerleader pattern the other day--made it using the colors
of my daughter's cheerleading uniform from school. Made small tassels
to look like the ones she uses and tacked them on the block. The
whole block is framed with a narrow border, backed with fusi-knit
interfacing, and sewn on a sweatshirt."
