looking for old watercolor pattern
When watercolor kits first became available there was a kit with a
watercolor background and three black silhouetted crosses appliqued onto the background. Does anyone else remember this kit or am I dreaming? Was it in a book? I have done a google search with no reward. If anyone can send me in the correct direction I would appreciate it. I thought that design would be a good one for the Easter wallhanging at the nursing home. Since I can see the wallhanging so clearly in my mind it wouldn't be hard to recreate but if there is still a kit available it would save me time. Susan |

Susan Can't help with the exact one you are looking for but in WATERCOLOR QUILTS, p.94, there is a quilt with a large single cross made from watercolor blocks. The description says: "Glowing sunlight casts its reflection on a textured backdrop, highlighting the liturgical symbols of Easter and Pentecost." I can almost see the one you asked about though, darn it. I think the problem is, if you are like me, you look at so many patterns and kits and books and instructions that after a while we are putting stuff together in our heads that never really existed.

Keepsake Quilting used to carry it. I think I saw similar patterns in the
latest catalog. Yu could try calling them and asking. HTH Helen in MN "Susan Laity Price" wrote in message ... When watercolor kits first became available there was a kit with a watercolor background and three black silhouetted crosses appliqued onto the background. |

that would be easy enough to make just looking at the picture and using a
design wall. -- Mary http://community.webshots.com/user/mardor1948 " Ellison" wrote in message . .. : Howdy! : I remember this; I have a printed picture of it somewhere. : No pattern but look at this: : http://www.janeane.luby.com/wallhangings.html : : Ragmop/Sandy : : "Susan Laity Price" wrote in message : ... : When watercolor kits first became available there was a kit with a : watercolor background and three black silhouetted crosses appliqued : onto the background.

Keepsake Quilting carried a kit like this at one time. Not sure if they still
have it tho. They have a website. Maybe you could try a search there?

Thanks for letting me know I am not dreaming. I had already checked
Keepsake Quilting web page and new catalog. Tomorrow I think I will call the store and see if by chance they have a kit leftover. None of our local stores had one. If I don't find a kit soon I will set a date to visit my friend who only does watercolor quilts. She will have all the fabric. I just don't want to go looking for all the fabric I would need to make a watercolor wallhanging. Today I made the log cabin heart from Elenaor Burns' "Still Stripping After 25 Years". Five blocks set on point is large enough. This will be great for February. Think I need to make two for March, one in green for St Patrick's Day and another for Easter. For Christmas I made the VIP Nativity panel and it was beautiful. Everyone thought I appliqued all the design. I kept telling them that it came printed that way. I had snowmen planned for January but it is so late in the month that I thought I would just skip January this year. When I started giving them seasonal wallhangings I gave them a generic one for the months when I didn't get a special one finished. It has been fun to see how interested the residents are in what the next wallhanging will be. Susan |
