History Quilter Podcast Episode 12 Show Notes

Podcast listeners: I completely forgot about posting the show notes for the podcast that I recorded/published last Wednesday evening. With a three day vacation up the coast and two "back to school" days for my boys, the past week has been very busy and I've had no time to craft/blog and forgot to give myself a visual reminder to blog about the Podcast.

Please visit http://historyquilter.podbean.com/ or iTunes to listen to Episode 12 where my main quilting history topic was Dear Jane Quilts.

Here are a few photos I took at the Long Beach International Quilt Festival:

I met up with Kate of the Quilting Daydreams Podcast. What a thrill to meet another podcaster!

This quilt of Mont St. Michel took my breath away as from far away it looked like an actual photograph and but as I got closer the texture on the quilt jumped out at me which affirmed that it was not a photograph.

This city girl loves barns. I want a little red barn in my backyard someday.

Food Topics:

All three of the following items that I talked about are from the Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics cookbook by Ina Garten.

For you Nutella lovers, I give you Nutella Swirl Pound Cake. Very dense, sweet and full of Nutella.

Dear Jane Quilts:

Brenda Papadakis wrote Dear Jane: The Two Hundred Twenty-Five Patterns from the 1863 Jane A. Stickle Quilt in 1996 and started a worldwide communal interest in making "baby Jane" quilts. Ms. Papadakis calls the original quilt made by Jane A. Stickle, the "mother quilt" and all others "baby Jane" quilts.

Have a fabulous Thursday,
