Susan, I have made personalized quilts of their interest, for each of my grandchildren. When I was working on a guitar design for a older grandson, I asked my 9 year old grandson what design he would like for a quilt. He told me a quilt with drums on it and he drew me a design. He received a drum set for his birthday and so I knew he was serious about drumming. I started searching on Google for drum design quilts...if any were out there. I came across your Jazz-Attack-Drummer on Jukebox Quilts and I bought the pattern. I just finished it, well almost, but Owen wanted to take it home and since it was for Christmas, I let him have it without me finishing some details. It has been fun to do and I added some creative touches. I have attached a picture. Thank you for creating the pattern.

Wow, you have made some beautiful things. But that pirate quilt jumped out and grabbed me! lol Also love the owl and the couple on the beach. As you can tell I like novelty quilts and fabrics. The first quilt I ever made was just like your blue nine patch. I wish I had a photo of it but don't. Keep up the good work and keep having fun.l

Hi Susan

The color catchers you sent by post have arrived! THANK YOU so much .. I can't wait to try them out. They smell good too. We have autumn weather with all the leaves turning and piling up needing to be swept away. The birds are gathering to fly north for warmer weather. greeting from the tip of Africa.

Love Jenny

 No - No such luxury as colour catchers here - tell me more! We are advised to wash and press every fabric we use to check for colour fastness, sizing residue and shrinkage before we start. There is a fabric printed in SA by Da Gama which is the traditional indigo dye fabric with lovely German print designs. It is called Shweshwe - is the name given  - as this is the sound it makes when you walk in a skirt or clothing made from it. It is 100% cotton and after multiple washes is soft and divine to wear and use in quilt-making. They now produce other colours too.

I'm just the same - I read in bed, just before I go to sleep, or in the tub in the evening.  It usually takes me a couple of weeks to get through a book but that's all right.  I prefer to savor a good one.

Hi Susan,

Not sure if I'm doing this in the right place but so glad you've enjoyed the Cobbled Court books.  Yes, there is another one coming out on April 24th, TIES THAT BIND.  Hope you get a chance to read it!
