Each month nearly 13o ladies arrive at Quilt in a Day the second Tuesday of the month for either a day or night class. They are here for the Block of the Month, this year expanded to a Quilt of the Month!
May’s pattern was Cinnamon Swirl, a delightful pattern submitted by my sister Judy. It is made from a Honey Bun, 1 1/2″ wide strips of delicious fabric. Blocks swirl one way and then the other when placed in the opposite direction. It’s a great pattern to do in two sizes, baby or lap.
Treating the gals to cinnamon buns as they entered the classroom was a surprise they enjoyed. I got up early and attended to my cooking duties before they arrived for the 10am class. The night crew had the cinnamon buns for dessert, just as yummy then too.
The warm Cinnamon Buns rest on two samples of the newest pattern. If the buns look extra dark, blame me. I added two TABLESPOONS, not teaspoons to the mix. I always get the two mixed up. Do you ever do that?
The morning class gives me their full attention…..
then again, maybe not, note these busy hands.
June will feature something patriotic, it’s in the works.
I’m one who would rather have the two tablespoons than two teaspoons!
I really like this pattern – it also has a nice scrappy feel to it.
I would like to have a pattern,(if available for the cinnamon swirl block, any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. pcwalker79@yahoo.com
