To celebrate mid-Summer (what’s a Dog-Day, anyway?) here are snapshots of three amazing quilts that are hanging in the Store — right now. We secretly think they might be even nicer than the original quilts on which they are based… but come see and let us know what you think. Apologies for the quality of the photos, taken with an iPhone today.
1.
“Fire Drill,” by Leah Brown
 This pattern appears in Modern Patch Work, by Elizabeth Hartman.
(Quilting by Kathy Ritter)

2.

3.

From a pattern in Modern Blocks,
by Susanne Woods.
Thank you for letting us share with you all!

Way too late and a little off-topic, but I actually had to go out and look up what dog days meant not long ago.
