We are really excited about our next cruise—to Alaska May 21–28—especially our Editor, Jean Nolte, who has been working on a great quilt for the occasion!
On a trip to New York City last spring, Emily Cohen, at Timeless Treasures teased us with their new Tonga Treats strips and squares. When Jean started designing a quilt for the cruise, she immediately thought of the Tonga collections, and planned a quilt design that could be used in several color variations.
Jean chose the Sugarplum Collection, a rich purple for sashing, and a border fabric that brings all of the colors together.
We’ll see if we can get some photos of the quilt as she’s putting it together to share with you.
I hear it’s also going to be in Love of Quilting this summer, so stay tuned!
Check out the items that just went on sale in the Fons & Porter store! There are some great values out there! I see a few I just want the fabric from and at these prices, who can pass them up?
Happy quilting!
Diane Tomlinson, Assistant Editor
