Inspired by a quilt that my friend Mary shared with me from Pinterest, I decided to design an Ombré HST quilt mathematically. This was the result.

Good morning cute people! I wanted to show you the notebook cover that I designed for Quilts and More magazine:) I designed the notebook with Kassidy in mind… she loves a cute notebook for school and she likes to switch them up often. It's in the spring issue and is on the stands now! I was asked to participate in the Scrap Lab Challenge along with the amazing Carrie of Miss Rosie Quilt Co. and Patty Young of ModKid They also asked if they could use some FQ's from my Gracie Girl collection to design with. Patty designed an adorable skirt and Carrie designed the cutest bag! I've want to sew both of them too:) My simple notebook cover has a pocket on the inside front cover... and the inside back cover… there is plenty of room for stashing notes and homework sheets ...etc. The outside has a pocket as well… perfect for pens, pencils and of course a cell phone. The cover can easily be slipped off when the notebook is full and it can be washed if it gets dirty. It was so much fun designing this simple little project for such a fabulous magazine:) If you want to make one (or two) of your own… CLICK HERE to go to All People Quilt… and download the pattern. I love their website:) Have a quilty kind of day! xx Lori

SCHOOLHOUSE EXTERIOR QUILT BLOCK ON KIRKSVILLE SCHOOL RENOVATED KIRKSVILLE SCHOOL -- NOW A COMMUNITY CENTER OLD DOOR CORNICE STILL EXTANT The two-story brick school in Kirksville, Kentucky has taken up the idea of hanging a large quilt square on the exterior of its second story old school building. The pattern is very appropriate -- called the "school house pattern." The pattern was historically designed as a symbol of the child labor movement protest against young children working in sweat shops rather than attending school. In the early 1900s, this practice of child labor peaked. Efforts by various social reformers during the early part of the twentieth century resulted in the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 that included compulsory free education for all children. Today, Kirksville school has a new use -- it's now the town's community center.
