Crossroads Quilt</span></a>": <br />
<br />
This quilt is absolutely divine - I think I am going to make one soon. I love
the turquoise - can you tell me where I might find this brand, I will be
visiting the USA in July and will be in Arizona and California. I am familiar
with a few quilt stores from past visits - not sure if you can recommend any in
Phoenix or Scottsdale, or did you purchase this online? And finally - did you
end up quilting this, am curious to know how it looked? Thanks, Pauline,
Melbourne, Australia <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Pacific International and Houston</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>Signature Wedding Quilt</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made for our daughter Aubrey and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
her husband Kevin</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Aubrey requested a quilt that could be signed instead of a guest book.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We decided upon a scrappy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We placed the quilt on a table right at the entrance</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of the yard where the reception was held.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With nieces and nephews taking various shifts</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to watch over the quilt</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we encouraged the guests to leave </div>

Last night after a family dinner</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and with the help of nephews</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we placed the quilt over a chair</div>

so Aubrey and Kevin could read their messages.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The top will now be sent off, along with the backing </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have done little bits sewing the last few weeks</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for my friend Monica</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She had a few quilts that needed <span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><u>binding</u></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which is something I find very relaxing and like to do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love this Jelly Roll Race </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with a soft Minkee owl print on the back.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And another Polka Dot Jelly Roll Race</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are so easy and fun to make.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The tops can be put together in about an hour and a half</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and make a great charity quilt.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I even put the bindings on 8 reversible Place Mats</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for Monica</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that represent Christmas here in the Southwest.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Other than that, I have been making backings for 3 of my quilts</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(needs to be done, but I won't bore you with the pictures)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once our daughter was married,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and all of our Out of State company left town,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I immediately jumped into another new opportunity:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have started a new job!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Little hint: I'm still in the Quilt Industry</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
yay!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But more about that later....</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Each month two of the ladies in the group </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
serve as hosts</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This month Julie and Christine provided the most fun Halloween themed day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As we walked in, one of the tables was decorated with snacks</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and door prizes</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
How cute is this?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Julie decorated her trifle bowl </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Inside was a snack of roasted peanuts and candy corn.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When eaten together, they taste a lot like a Payday candy bar.</div>

Our daughter Aubrey was married last Friday </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to the most wonderful man.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We like to call him <i>Kevin Heaven</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a joyous union</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because she had a fantastic photographer taking a lot of pictures</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I didn't worry about that part of the event,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so I don't have much to share with you today</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But, know she was surrounded by </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a legion of love and support</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with family and friends.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My favorite part (other than the ceremony)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
was watching her dance with her dad.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When Mr. Cactus and I were dating many, many years ago,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
he used to play the guitar and sing to me</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the song <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>"Aubrey"</i></b></span> by Bread</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As this was part of our falling in love, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we named our first child after the song</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
During the Father/Daughter dance</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the music of <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>Aubrey</i></b></span> played in the background</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
which brought us all to tears.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>"I love her name...."</i></div>

Tomorrow is a big day for us :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our oldest daughter is to be married !!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have many family members and friends</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
pouring in from <i>Out of State </i>for the happy event.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My happy happy </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is that all 5 of my children will be together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And of course, I am most happy for </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Aubrey and Kevin</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
who are a perfect match.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have plenty of food on hand to feed the crowds,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and made this <b>Halloween Snack Mix</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that can just sit out in the kitchen for whoever wants a little treat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've even left a spoon in the bowl</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to make it easier to grab a bite or two.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Kind of addictive</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Candy corn, cereal, and nuts all mixed together with a sweet coating.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The original recipe called for coconut</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I opted to omit because I have family members who are allergic.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Instead I threw in a few cups of Cheerios</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and it turned out fine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can see </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
half the bowl is gone already.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think we have a new Halloween favorite.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Found in vintage shop so unfortunately no other provenance available. Always Free Shipping, but please note these quilt tops will be shipped separately for added security.</b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The pattern is Jelly Roll friendly</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found an old <span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>"Nest" </i></b></span>jelly roll by <a href="http://tulapink.com/"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>Tula Pink</i></b></span></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

Months ago in the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>February 2014 Edition</u></b> of <span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b><a href="http://www.allpeoplequilt.com/blogs/apqstaff/2013/11/19/quilt-along-with-us/">American Patchwork and Quilting</a></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I saw <b>Lissa Alexander's</b><span style="color: #990000;"> <b><a href="http://modalissa.blogspot.com/">(<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Moda Lissa</i></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>)</i></span></a></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>Tone It Down </i></b></span>Quilt pattern </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and knew I wanted to make it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And then when I saw various versions and fabric combinations</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
contributed by 10 top designers</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for a <b><i><span style="color: #660000;">Quilt Along </span></i></b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I knew I had to play right away, too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started collecting fat quarters of </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Low Volume and Text Prints for backgrounds</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to make a real scrappy look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can see,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
each block is quite scrappy.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I followed Lissa's original color pallet of using</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
aqua, orange, green, yellow and navy </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with red as the predominant for the chains</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
my church</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
but <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i><u>Millions</u></i></b></span> watch on TV or their media device</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(like me)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's quite nice to stay home and watch church</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I always line up some fun quilting projects to be accomplished, too :)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
But, the main reason I love listening to our church leaders</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is to hear messages of Christ</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
And, to be reminded of what matters most in this life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are (2) two hour sessions on both</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Saturday and Sunday</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I come away encouraged and inspired to </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
do better and to be better.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most of all I feel</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God's always extending love for me </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and for each of us.</div>

I'm always looking for ways to use up my scraps</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and this was a perfect project</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to cut up little bits of left overs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
into 2 1/2" X 2 1/2" squares</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a good time of year to cut up and organize</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my scrap bins.</div>

Although, I've barely made a dent :)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my first time to purchase this fabric line</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I'm in love!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has a high thread count, and is solid to the touch.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
50 colors available (I want them all!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and you can't beat the price at $6.99 a yard.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I was invited by my friend Denise</div>

Some of the stores on the list </div>
