Wholecloth quilt from Clover and Family featuring Joaquin fabric from Crystal Walen September certainly keeps us on our toes here in the northeast, with the temperature swinging from summer to fall, sometimes by the hour. One thing I've learned is that it's time to keep an extra cardigan and quilt in the car as my evenings are filled with watching the kids play various sporting events. I know many of you find yourself similarly huddled on those bleachers! So don't forget your quilt and knit cardigan - both are so pretty in Joaquin fabrics, like this lovely wholecloth quilt from Clover and Family. Always Rainbows from Hawthorne Supply Co.
