| 'Peace and Plenty' quilt block pattern (McCall's Quilting) |
'Peace and Plenty' - a classic block first published around 1945. My version in the homewares collection uses vintage 1930s fabric prints, in a traditional red, white and blue colour scheme. What does this say about me? That I love bold use of colour, striking combinations, perhaps?

Below - a simple but effective version, found on Pinterest. Hope I've got the attribution source correct. These colours would look great in my beach house .... if I had one!

My 'Peace and Plenty' handmade ceramic quilt bowl - same pattern, but different effect. What does this say about me? That I'm going through a dotty phase? (Absolutely!)

I love the traditional patterns, but I am the first to admit that I am no expert. I'm a potter, not a quilter.
So, if any quilters out there have made any of the patterns I have used for the Homewares range, I would love to show them in future posts. They are 'Peace and Plenty', 'Summer Winds', 'Bear Tracks' and 'Right Hand of Friendship'. Just drop me an email about it - mail@cathydaniel.co.uk.
Have a wonderful, creative, fun week, putting your own unique stamp on to your work!

I really like your bowl!! xx
ReplyDeleteHi Cathy,
ReplyDeleteLovely to discover your blog and many thanks for visiting me and hope you have a great trip to France when you go.
How creative you are and I love the designs of Peace and Plenty and the wonderful bowl.
Enjoy the week

I rather love your "dotty phase", I must say. The block patterns and print patterns used in a quilt can help to date it - in fact, one of Jill Paton Walsh's "Isobel Quy" books turns on that fact. There's always more to find out, as I am sure you will discover!
ReplyDeleteI love the bowl, so pretty, and yes, I'm dotty for dots too.
ReplyDeleteHi Cathy,
ReplyDeletethank you so much for your nice comment I my blog.:-)
As I can see here you are a great artist and create wonderful things. I'm deeply impressed by your handmade pottery, love your patchwork art so much. :-)
Lots of warm greetings from Germany

I like your bold colours best! Nice to see how different they can be with the alternative interpretations.
ReplyDeleteĪ¤hank you for visiting me.I'm happy too to know you!
ReplyDeleteIt always interests me to hear when blocks date back to. The colours you chose for your homewares line really work well to show off the design. Your bowl of course is brilliant, I love all the polka dots and the ruffley edge with a button, absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi Cathy, I have come to visit you after you very kindly found me and commented on my blog. All I can say is 'Wow!' and perhaps 'Wow!' again. Your creations are amazing! I will be following you on Facebook and will be visiting you here often. Best wishes to you in all your endeavours.
