Red Letter Alphabet

 Here is the finished Red Letter Alphabet flimsy. It's exactly what I wanted - a little funky, with one fabric for each letter; letters that weren't too fussy, and each one having its own personality. The letters aren't perfect, and I didn't want them to be.

The finished flimsy is about 32-1/2" tall by 29" wide (about 82.5 x 73 cm).  I've left the photos fairly large so you can click, then click again to enlarge for more detail.

Katrin's Quilts!

I've only met one of the many quilters who make letters in person. The rest I know by emails and blogs. It is always such a delight to receive letters from readers telling me to "keep doing what you're doing but get more sleep," or "this [addiction to lettermaking] is entirely your fault," or just "I love your work." I get such a thrill, and it always makes my day.

Katrin wrote to me from Berlin, Germany.  She has made these two alphabet Sampler quilts, one for Angelina and the other for Hannah.

I think they're great! I love the birds, the houses, and the fun and unique way the quilts are alike, yet not precisely the same.

Terrific job Katrin!
