Coastal Quilters Chapter Banner #7

Today you get three of the blocks that are already made (I still need to make one for Elm Street School—no takers for that particular challenge!): the Oak Leaf, the Maple Leaf and Merryspring’s gazebo. Maine’s tourist season extends from mid-to-late June (peak Black Fly season!) through autumn leaves or “Leaf Peeper” season, which actually brings more hordes of turistas than summer!

Beth Guisely and Polly Schuessler made the Maple and Oak leaves, respectively, from my drawings….these blocks are emblematic of our glorious autumns. They did a wonderful job.

And Barb Melchisky is a pro at applique. She took on the challenging Gazebo at Merryspring, a local land trust and garden / plant / native habitat center. Tucked onto 66 acres that cross from Camden into Rockport, it is described on their website as “privately owned park.” It has several beautiful walks through woods and meadows where you can see native flora (and sometimes fauna).

    I love the fabric for both the maple and oak leaves. The maple one is truly awesome…….is it a hand-dye or commercial fabric?

    I miss the maples out here on the prairies 🙁
