A New House for Jeaneane!
Remember the photos of Jeaneane’s home after the Joplin tornado hit? Jeaneane’s family is rebuilding in the same location. Where there was once devastation a new home now stands waiting for a brick front… And the inside of the home waits for paint, flooring and final touches… I can’t imagine how excited Jeaneane must be! Her new home is so close to completion. One of her housewarming gifts will be a box filled with quilt blocks that you’ve made. Here are a few of the blocks I’ve received so far… I think Jeaneane is going to be excited when she sees all the blocks and she’ll love them even more…

Moda Dottie
I love polka dots don’t you? They make me happy! My favorite line of dots happens to be made by Moda…it’s called Dottie. Dottie used to only come in a decorator weight fabric but now Moda has Dottie in a 45″ quilting weight fabric. It comes in lots of yummy colors and I own a fat quarter of each one! The orange and white Dottie is my current favorite. I’ve used it on the border of a new quilt design and you’ll get to see the quilt next month! An orange Dottie border…can you believe it? I bought my fat quarter bundle of Dottie here. It’s a great stash builder…

Today is Fig Tree Day on the Moda Blog Hop Country Fair! Go, go, go and download the cutest chicken scratch ever! Oh my goodness how many comments did you say there were?

If I just had one fat quarter for every comment… Chelsea and I are dreamers for sure… So let’s get to the fun! If you…

About 60 miles down the road
Jump in the car, drive about 60 miles down the road and you’ll get the concept of how far the tornado took Jeaneane’s quilt. Judging by what that tornado did to her house the chances of a quilt making it that far in one piece must be a million to one! Jeaneane’s mother-in-law was 91 when she made these quilt blocks. She made some of the blocks upside down so she never finished the quilt, she just put the blocks in a box. When Jeaneane found the box there were only19 blocks, so she had the 20th block embroidered with information about her mother in law. I know Jeaneane’s story…
