Wishing You a Happy Home

Oh, I am sorry to show up late for the housewarming, but I want to wish Tiggerlane, the Neophyte Blogger and Julie of Another Chance Ranch the best in their new homes. Our good friend and hostess the Swampwitch of Anecdotes, Antidotes, and Anodes has had some Internet difficulties, but Swampy always throws the best parties. Julie is planning on her big move over the Thanksgiving holiday.

For the housewarming, I wish to offer this cool quilt made by the lovely women of Lake County, Indiana. Each jar of the quilt was created by one of the talented women in the county, and the panels were stitched together at our local Deep River Park, site of the historic John Wood Mill. This quilt is currently being used as a wall hanging. Perhaps, Tiggerlane and Julie would prefer to use their own quilt as a bed cover.



Tiggerlane and Julie, I wish you many wonderful, warm, and fun-filled years in your new homes.

Check out the guest list to see who else is coming to Swampy's Housewarming Shindig at Anecdotes, Antidotes, and Anodes.

Very cool! I love the different fabrics. It really looks like jars on a shelf. This would make a very nice housewarming gift.

Lovely quilt! I read a series of quilting mysteries although I don't do anything remotely crafty. I admire the hard work, creativity and craftmanship that goes into them.

New homes take on their own character over time. Older homes get a new TV and it gets new character as well.

That has to be the most unique quilt I have ever seen (no offense to melissa)! WOW! That would definitely come in handy on the porch.

Absolutely beautiful, and thanks for the well-wishes!

I LOVE QUILTS! I have 15 that were pieced and hand quilted by my mom and grandmama. This one is just too pretty.
Love it. Now, send it over.
Thanks for coming to the party.

Lovely! Quilting is one craft I do not have the patience for. I am really amazed at some of the quilts I have seen and take my hat off to those who make them.

Very nice! We got a bunch (some bought, some made) when Max was born.

What a GREAT idea for a house WARMING gift! And, I like how each square is the same (all jars) and yet different (representing the individual who made it).
