McDowell County, North Carolina Quilt Trail

 I was editing some pictures from a summer trip this morning and came across these quilt blocks from the McDowell County, North Carolina quilt trail, so I'm sharing them today.

This first one was out in the countryside, in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

 Another shot from the country drive, guardrail included.  

 These blocks are on the side of a brick building in downtown Marion, North Carolina.

 Quilt blocks are everywhere in Marion.  I'm assuming this was on some kind of government building.

 Another drive by photo - a little blurry, but too pretty to leave out!

Really cool!  Birds, mountains, and a sunrise or sunset.

I hope you enjoyed it!

Have a wonderful day,

Jennifer Schifano Thomas

Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks, Volume 12 Coming Soon!

It's almost that time of year again - time for the Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Blog Tour with the release of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks, Volume 12!  There will be blocks!  There will be prizes!  There will be fun, fun, fun!  This Fall's blog tour will be November 16th through 20th.  My day will be November 16th, so be sure to mark your calendar & visit that day to see my block and win some quilty goodness.

Here's a sneeky peek of the cover of Volume 12 so you can get a little taste of the wonderful patterns inside.  I'm a cover girl this time - exciting!  So technically, you can see my block, but I'm not going to tell you which one it is until November 16.

I made a small quilt using four of my blocks, too.  This was sewn on my Featherweight while I was taking a little trip to Marion, North Carolina.  Do you take a sewing project along when you travel?  Leave a comment below.

Have a lovely day,
