February Quilt Pattern and Free Table Topper Quilt
With so much going on, I kind of missed my birthday… but I have reached the ripe old age of 66 and some days everything seems to hurt. My Florida swim body now feels a bit saggy, and I have learned a new morning routine of time to get everything moving again. I have been trying to have self-care be more than a bubble bath. Taking walks, laughing quilting, drawing, read or just being, whatever helps me find peace within yourself and relaxes your mind.
But, who needs a bikini body when you’ve got quilts, a bit of wisdom and experience of a life well-lived? I have family, friends, a huge cup of coffee, a quilt, a book and a comfy home. Life is wonderful

So why the break, you ask? Well, frankly, I need to take a breather. Being creative and home are just what the doctor ordered. Here is – one of my beloved Quilt pattern books. I know that many of you are passionate about your quilting projects, so I thought this might be something that says, Happy Holiday to YOU !
But, IF you do want to sign up for notice of my posts, do that on the top right. I am stepping back from social media too, BUT will continue to post here, you are going to have to come to me…I have pre-posted and you will get a follow along on myBaskets Around a Quilt Pattern
Over the next bit, I’ll be taking a bit of a break and dedicating some time to my own creativity and personal growth. Life has been throwing a lot at me lately and I really just need to take a step back, breathe, and reconnect with myself.
In this Quilt pattern book, there are basket designs, how to make triangles and squares and a binding section. I know will inspire you just as much as they’ve inspired me. And one of the things I love most about quilting is how therapeutic it can be. There’s something so calming about sitting down with a needle and thread and watching a beautiful creation come to life.
It’s a tradition to share quilt patterns, but I can ONLY do this because you support my Etsy Shop and The Quilt Ladies on Amazon, nothing is possible without your purchases Thank you, Beth Ann
This quilt was on the bed and after returning home I had to draw it up. I have no idea if it was an original quilt, I don’t think so, but I love it. I have not made the quilt block to date but it’s in the file to do… IF you do, PLEASE send me pictures, Beth Ann Doing. See all I do at my ETSY Quilt Pattern Shop.

This is a simple quilt pattern made with squares, using just three colors, and doing it red, white and blue, the colors pop.
It’s not the red and blue, it’s the white that will make any colors POP. You can use any two colors and white, result will be wonderful.
This quilt’s story started when we lived in Nebraska. Husband had a grocery store and always worked every holiday. After the boys left, I seemed to have very long holidays. This is one of the July 4th weeks.
Holiday parties and get togethers are not that much fun when you arrive hours late when Husband is available and others are about partied out. I have helped way to many hostesses clean up. After a few of those, I decided, home and make a quilt.

This Quilt started with a simple Bear Paw quilt block and then drawing and drawing sixteen quilt blocks that took that simple block and made all sixteen mine. The quilt as always going to have white background, I love quilt lines on white fabric, pink of course that’s me, adding color with greens, red, in both solids and prints. The outside border is pieced with green square and triangle leaves.
Have you ever made a quilt and as each quilt block is finished you giggle at what you just did? This is how I felt as this quilt was going together, into a finished eighty-eight by eighty-four-inch quilt. Kind of Perfect.
That’s my B. Annie quilt all about ME! Should say that more, one of my faults? Maybe it’s just taking care of so many.
The Ladies Quilt Pattern started early on in my quilt designing. I love sampler quilts, I draw and draw quilt blocks. Some are the classic ones and some are the ones I designed and like.
When I was designing and planning this quilt, I was home day after day. I would spend entire days piecing quilt blocks. Kind of my heaven and there are 68 quilt blocks in this quilt book/pattern. Husband worked twelve-hour days, six days a week. And I seemed to be able to be content and happy in my world of quilt blocks. The Ladies at my ETSY Quilt Pattern Shop The Ladies in Print and NOW an eBook
The thing that took The Ladies to the next level was the trip to the fabric shop. I was always hoping to own a shop,(dream) any way, I knew the blue fabric was right when I saw it. Purchasing fabric is kind of a sport to me and I do it ALL the time. Knowing the blue was going to be the base and pop color of the quilt I purchased about 5 yards. Way more than would be needed. But…more is more. The additional colors, pink, green and the blue pattern were from my scrap closet that I had on hand. With this quilt I figured out each blocks colors as I pieced it, but not each quilt block as it would be put together into the quilt. And/or what quilt block would be placed next to each other. See one of The Ladies, quilt patterns.
I have been trying to have self-care be more than a bubble bath. Taking walks, laughing quilting, drawing, read or just being, whatever helps me find peace within yourself and relaxes your mind.
