Helen’s Sugar Bowl is a 2-color, 2-fabric quilt set on point. It measures approximately 72 x 72 inches. This block is known as “Pin Cushion” but EQ7 calls a 2 x 2 version “Sugar Bowl.”
This design uses the either one of the Inklingo Orange Peel Collections. I provided cutting and printing information for the Orange Peel Deluxe Collection as that is the one I have. I colored the blocks in EQ7 with fabrics from Toscana by Northcott.
Helen [McEvoy] Duthie is my maternal grandmother. She was born in 1909 in New Brunswick, Canada. She lived in and around the area known now as Miramichi. She married Lawrence Duthie in 1935. They had 5 children–my mom is the oldest. The house that my grandparents lived in had no central heating or indoor plumbing. I guess grandpa never thought it was important… There were chamber pots under all the beds and I think the water pump was in the kitchen or a back porch/mud room area. [I should ask my mom.] Grandma cooked on a wood burning stove. My grandma was a strong woman. When my grandmother passed away in 1979, my mom inherited a set of grandma’s dishes. My daughter-in-law has them today–including Helen’s sugar bowl.

Sewing Curves Without Pins
This is how I sew curves. (I dislike pinning!) I use a 3M Command Strip pasted along the side of my presser foot to help as a guide also. You need to be sure to use your 1/4″ presser foot if you are going to use a Command Strip as a guide. When I am done sewing curves, the Command Strip removes easily from my machine bed.

Georgiana’s Delight is a 4-color, 4-fabric quilt set on point. It measures approximately 85 x 85 inches. This quilt uses 2 different pieced Dresden Plate blocks. I couldn’t decide if I liked them all green with white or all burgundy with white so I made them half and half.
This design uses the Inklingo Dresden Plate Fancy Pieced Collection. I colored the blocks in EQ7 with fabrics from Toscana by Northcott.
Georgiana [DeLong] Williamson was born in 1851 and is one of Adeline’s daughters. [Adeline’s quilt is the first design I posted on 1 April.] She is my great grandmother. Her husband, Thomas E Williamson, was the first child born on US soil in my Williamson line. Thomas and Georgiana had 8 children. Their youngest child died in infancy. They also raised one of her sister Viola’s 6 children when they were left orphaned. Georgiana died of complications from diabetes in 1913.

Fanny Lulu’s Fans is a 4-color, 5-fabric quilt in a horizontal setting. It measures 72 x 72 inches. The Fans look a little like a New York Beauty because of the top arc with points.
This design uses the Inklingo Dresden Plate Fancy Pieced Collection. I colored the blocks in EQ7 with fabrics from Toscana by Northcott.
Yes, I really had a cousin named Fanny Lulu. [poor child!] She is a first cousin 3x removed in my Williamson line. Up until a few days ago I thought she had died in 1887 at age 26 never having married. This according to information on a FindAGrave.com memorial. I wanted to know how she died so I went to the interment records for the cemetery where she was supposedly buried only to find it’s not her. [sigh] Apparently when the FindAGrave memorial was first established it was for a Fannie Williamson who died in 1887. But according to the death record information in the interment books, that Fannie was 32 in 1887—not 26—so it’s unlikely that it’s my Fanny Lulu. When an enthusiastic—but not record conscious—genealogist asked to take over the memorial, she apparently changed the name of the memorial and added Fanny Lulu’s family info. I will have to search out Fanny Lulu’s whereabouts in the 1892 New York Census and beyond. I hope she got married and had a boat-load of kids.
