Together by Brannock & Patek

Wonderful Lavenders and Greens.

Yardage of the large florals.

Light Tans.

Delicious Reds.

My (Karmen's) favorite florals.

And prim Dark Tans.

Blues I (Karmen) cannot wait to cut into.

And luscious black!

These lovely blocks, done with Lilac Hill, were made by Karin (Life in the Slow Lane) and photographed by my daughter Karmen (A Quilter Awakens). Karmen and her husband are coming to Kansas City for a visit this week! Maybe we can get some new pictures for my blog?

Versatile plaids and brilliant crimsons,

Some soft lilac prints

Large prints and small, a few mini-stripes

and serene little birds!

I cannot wait to play with it all!

Guest Blogger

I want to introduce myself. I am Karmen, Linda Brannock's daughter. My mother would love to be a blogger, but since she is busy doing other things, the learning curve got lost amongst the many non-linear paths of focus that are her nature, so to speak. I decided I will show you around a bit.

She (mother) and her design partner, Jan Patek, are just silly crazy about their newest fabric line. I got a call the other night to search my fabric stash for the diagonal red plaid that mother thinks I absconded with to Atlanta from Kansas City. I don't have it. I looked everywhere possible, but I am sure Mom and I just don't have any yardage of any of the REMEMBRANCE line. Moda sent us all manner of pre-cuts. But the need was for yardage. I am not sure what she is cooking up.

I get to visit my mother at her home outside Kansas City whenever I can take some time off from working at a college here outside Atlanta. Lately, when I've visited, we have worked on this Rattlesnake design from a class mother took from Karen Stone. Yes, even designers have their UFOs. One of the perks of being her daughter is I can scavenge some pretty cherry UFO projects and make them my own. She won't let me bring it home to work on though, and she doesn't touch it when I am gone. So the progress is S-L-O-W.

I did abscond to Atlanta with this little quilt. At the time I figured it was easier to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission. Now it is hanging in my guest bedroom, she knows it is here, since she reads MY blog daily, and she has graciously decided it should stay at my house.

My one-eyed attack Kitten guards it with her life.

WOW! I'm back!

How time flies! My daughter set up this blog, but Tasha (above) and I am finally learning how to use it, so be patient while I get things figured out.

Linking the blogs

I finally figured out how to remove this blog from the blog list I maintain for work. An even harder task was to get it named properly after export, import, export, import exercises. I am sure I didn't do this in an efficient manner, but I learn a great deal in the attempts.
