If you can get to the Glasgow Film Festival on February 23rd, you must GO!
You can buy tickets online to see From Time to Time, the new movie based on Lucy Boston’s famous Chimneys of Greene Knowe. It just keeps getting better and better for fans of Lucy Boston, especially those who are making the Patchwork of the Crosses (POTC) with Inklingo. Read on!

Oh, my goodness! In the rush to complete the new Dresden Plate shape collections, I completely forgot to announce the winner of the beautiful fabric for Tilde’s Passacaglia!!

Russ has been lying on the couch coughing and channel surfing today. My desk is not far away, and I can tell that Christmas Day offers very little choice. He stumbled on a Spelling Bee just when the word “passacaglia” was presented and we both laughed. He connected to a satellite circling the earth at exactly the right moment. The long-the-other-way traffic light near our house is always green for Russ too. He has a gift. He is a gift.

You could win a fabulous prize of fabric! In celebration of Tilde’s fantastic Passacaglia Table Runner Pattern (free, see previous entry), and in celebration of Christmas and the New Year, Tilde and I are collaborating on a Give Away. (Monkey calls it a Give-A-Way, not a Give Away, because Inklingo is a simpler new way to quilt.)

Passacaglia is a musical form dating back to the early 1600s. Lucy Boston, the renowned English patchwork artist, interpreted the style in fabric as a gift for the talented friend who played her favorite Passacaglia on the harpsichord in her ancient manor house near Cambridge.
Tilde Binger, a dear freind (friend) and Inklingoist, took one look at the Passacaglia Patchwork in Diana Boston’s book and knew she had to make one!

The dozens of Patchwork of the Crosses (POTC) blocks in the photo albums of the Inklingo Yahoo group have prompted some discussion about Lucy Boston’s wonderful Green Knowe books.

I fussy cut four of the sixteen octagons—à la Lucy Boston—with Inklingo KISS 103, and stitched this one on the porch. An Inklingo KISS (Keep it Simple, Stitchers) was just what I needed on a quiet Saturday afternoon—needle & thread, pretty little scissors, and some fabric in my lap—keep it simple pleasures. It was a nice break from all of the machine piecing I have done with Inklingo this summer.

Quilters on the Inklingo Yahoo group have been making some fantastic blocks à la Lucy Boston for their Patchwork of the Crosses quilts. We have put a small selection in a slide show and set them to music, which seemed appropriate, since Lucy Boston was famous for the wartime concerts she held at Hemingford Grey during the Second World War.

“Lucy Boston Patchwork of the Crosses” (the book by Linda Franz) made another appearance at Hemingford Grey. The reprint of Diana Boston’s “The Patchworks of Lucy Boston” will be available this month too!
