Congratulations to Fern in Singapore!
Her stunning Patchwork of the Crosses has been selected by the jury as a finalist in the Houston Quilt Festival! She printed hexagons and other shapes on fabric with Inklingo.
The photographer did a wonderful job of capturing the beauty of this quilt too.
Wouldn’t you love to be in Houston this October, so you could see Fern’s stunning work in person?
I love everything about this quilt. Fern’s fabric choices are brilliant.
Lucy Boston would be proud!

I am such a convert to Inklingo.
It has transformed my life.
I cannot see myself doing EPP again.
Inklingo is better, more accurate, faster and you do not see the stitches too, so so much prettier!
Fern used Lucy Boston Patchwork of the Crosses and . . .
. . . the optional 90° Hexagon 1 inch shape collection, so she could print the shapes on fabric with her ordinary Inkjet printer.
Inklingo allows quilters to be more creative and finish in a reasonable amount of time, whether they piece by hand or by machine. Spend your time choosing the right fabrics and sewing—not fiddling with templates, basting and whip-stitching!
Thank you, Fern, for your permission to announce this thrilling news.
I envy anyone who will be at the Houston Quilt Festival to meet Fern and see her masterpiece in person.

PS, this quilt is quilted using sashiko running stitches with my Baby-Lock sashiko machine. Fern
Thank you all for your kind and generous encouragement. This quilt would not have been possible without Inklingo so my heartfelt thanks go to Linda and Monkey. I will be traveling to Houston (all the way around the world for me!). See you there. Fern

WOW!!!!!
Beautiful, I hope to make it this fall to Houston and will her looking for this fore sure. Congratulations.
got in too much of a hurry and did not notice the mis-spelling.
Congratulations Fern. The quilt is breathtaking! I would sooo love to see it in person. Is this the first Inklingo to be accepted at Houston?
Congratulations to Fern! It is an absolutely stunning quilt! I do wish I could see it in person as it would be wonderful to see in person!
Have recently been pulling fabrics for a (potential) POTC and, in looking at my downloads, I see a description of a 3/4 ” Octagon that will fit with the 3/4″ POTC. Since I have the 1″ POTC is there an octagon that will fit with it? The closest I have found is the 1.03″ in the 6″ Castle Wall (which I own). Will that be suitable? or is the 0.03″ difference going to be noticeable?
excellent!! great for it to be in the show.
Oh, Fern! Beautiful and congratulations. I have POTC-envy.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! I have pinned several of Fern’s blocks. They are mesmerizing. Wish I were going to Houston this year. Good luck Fern!

Congratulations! It is a work of art! I can’t wait to start on mine, but I a have a few quilts that I MUST finish first. I KNOW that once I start on the POTC, I will not do anything else!
I am enjoying all the pictures in emails and on Pinterest.
