Funny thing I have a bunch made the Billie Lauder way and I think they are so ugly, LOL. Someone told me not to look at the 'small picture' but to wait till I got them all together, stepped back and looked again. I hope that helps, cuz I do love scrappy quilts.
Hi Luv! Once I was a farnmer's daughter! Long ago in Indiana, the eldest of five kids. Since then I have turned into a gypsy that lived a perfectly ordinary life in 13 states, and a gypsy life in Europe, and the Middle East. one of my younger sisters lives on the island of Cyprus now, and I used it as a base for my explorations and for sailing. I read your grumpy discouraged complaint on the quilted paradise board and laughed! been there - done that! plus I am 81 now and am grumpy myself because things do not work out so well for me physically as they used to! I live alone is a nice little house 4 hours distant from my only son, here on the Texas coast. ( At least it isn't snowing or flooding or being blown to bits!) Is there anything I can do to cheer you up? email me - jpthequilter@yahoo.com! JEANNIE
Wow, Iam so excited to try this. This make it look effortless and what a wonderful finish. Thank you so very much for your video on a hands on quilt. Looking forward to all your tricks. Thanks again. P.S you are a hoot !
I am so glad I found you again. I love the way you teach and after finding you all those years ago, I found that i always looked for the easiest way to cut and sew patches together without cutting all those squares and triangles.
At a garage sale of a deceased quilter I found a Billie Lauder mystery quilt. No instructions. It has dark and plaid fabrics. Any clues on what pattern was used?
Thanks for sharing her, she is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThat was really interesting! Thanks for sharing it!

ReplyDeleteWhat a joy it is to see Billie. It's been years since I first saw her with Alex Anderson on 'Simply Quilts.' Thanks for a great tutorial!!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see such enthusiasm! Entertaining and educational - why can't schools do that?
