Windy Wonders

From one humble block comes this parade of unique quilt designs in a brand new trunk show. I started making Baby Windmills years ago and soon realized how many things I could do with them. Now I’m on a lifelong quest to make every such quilt that lives in my head.

I’m so excited about these quilts. Every week I have a few new ideas. There are enough to keep me busy for a decade!

During this trunk show, we’ll talk about value, scale, color and creativity. I think you’ll enjoy seeing how one simple idea can take root, grow, morph and reproduce in exciting ways.

These are just the tip of the iceberg. I’d love to show you how the Baby Windmill block has grown up. Let’s make a date!
