Carol wrote back and said she would email you my comment. She gave me this link to your blog. I will repeat my comment here and hope that you or someone who blogs here will be able to give me advice.<br /><br /><br />I enjoyed reading about you and your quilting. I'm a beginner, having made only two quilts in my life. I want to make a traditional Indian quilt (wall hanging) from fabrics our son, Tim, brought us from Inida. First I must tell you why.<br /><br />Tim was a Hari Krishna here in the U.S. He lived in Vrindavan, India for a few months and loved it. Tim graduated in piano performance but turned his interests to classical Indian music and kirtan. He was killed at age 30 when broadsided by a speeding semi tractor trailer in Florida. In December 2012 our entire family brought his ashes to India and spent a month there learning about what he believed. There was a beautiful ashes ceremony in Mayapur. We spent a week in your area, the most special part of which was in the Sunderbans. I, like my Tim, fell in love with India. <br /><br />I want to make a quilt that will remind me of India and Tim's beliefs, but I would need patterns for the squares. I'm just not experienced or imaginative enough to make my own design. I found a book of traditional Indian quilt patterns on Amazon, but the cost was over $200! <br /><br />If you have any advice for me I will much appreciate it. I could post a picture of the fabrics I have if that would help. Do you know of a website where I could order patterns?<br /><br />Thank you<br />tina Teeny46https://www.blogger.com/profile/06245654922342635209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462896445097820938.post-6160763155127156862013-05-04T10:58:46.357-07:002013-05-04T10:58:46.357-07:00This is beautiful!
