I see the date and am reminded of what happened 15 years ago…a tragedy we will never forget. But today I want to write to you about a more simple and pure set of quilts made with solid colors. They are not crowded with adorable prints and they are often set with a black background color. These are a few Amish quilts from my doll quilt collection. The first one has beautifully vibrant red and purple 9 patches. It only has four blocks but they are set off so nicely with the hand quilting which you can see in the close up below.

The next one is a charming little blue, gray and dark red quilt I picked up in Lancaster, PA when they had a quilt museum featuring the collection from Esprit.

Football Fans!
Join the Scoreboard Knit Along this season and make the Scoreboard Cowl.

So easy and fun: Choose your team's two colors - one will represent your team's scores (MC) and the other will represent the opponent's scores (CC)

You'll end up with an awesome cowl that is a piece of sports history reflecting your team's entire season.

There are two options: The long versing: knit one round for each point scored: Here's Rose's (scarf version) from last year's Broncos season:

This year there is an abbreviated version where you knit two rounds per score, rather than per point! End up with a shorter, but equally stunning cowl!

As long as supplies last, you'll receive a Scoreboard KAL project bag when you purchase your yarn!

Although we are in Broncos country, we have other team colors too!
