An Old Quilt Revisited - AND A GIVEAWAY!

While visiting my west coast kids, I photographed a quilt I made for my granddaughter about 8 years ago. I made it in a hotel room during a two month stay in Denver, Colorado. It was snowing outside, I didn't have a car (my husband had it and was gone most of every day). I bought a tiny little Janome sewing machine on sale and I sat in the room and sewed. Quilters will find a way to do what they love!
The large prairie points around the center panel can be unbuttoned to reveal things Little Red Riding Hood might have seen in the forest. Be careful, you might find the wolf! (He looks a lot like a modified dog!)
A few years ago, I "revisited" the idea of Little Red Riding Hood. I used the same pattern I had drafted for the first figure of Little Red, but changed the colors and did not put large prairie points in. The finished quilt looks completely different! One thing I did not change is the "hidden" wolf in the background. Can you see him?



For those of you who have not left during my extremely busy summer, THANK YOU! I am almost back in my old routine now. Because you are important to me, I am having a giveaway of a pattern of your choice from my Craftsy store! (I will email the pdf to you.) This is for my faithful followers as well as any of you who are new here! Just let me know in a comment and your name will go in the drawing. The drawing will be on Tuesday night, 9:30 pm (Central). Again, thank you for being here!
