Leona – Lady of the Lake is a 2-color, 2-fabric quilt in a horizontal setting. It measures 76 x 76 inches. This is an easy quilt with only 2 fabrics and 1 shape—Half Square Triangles!
This design uses the Inklingo HST 00B Collection. I colored the blocks in EQ7 with fabrics from Toscana and Stonehenge by Northcott.
Another quilt with no real ancestor story. Leona Maude George was a second cousin in my paternal grandmother’s mother’s line. [Got that?] Her parents were both Georges. I am sure there is a story there but I haven’t done any research on it since it is a collateral line. I’m focused on direct lines only until I get everything re-entered in my genealogy software. I just liked Leona’s name for this quilt out of all the female L names.

Isabella’s Star is a 2-color, 3-fabric quilt set on point. It measures approximately 83 x 83 inches. Feathered Stars are really quite easy when you follow the directions for sewing them that Linda has provided in the Inklingo Feathered Star Design Book.
This design uses the Inklingo 20″ Feathered Star Collection. I colored the blocks in EQ7 with fabrics from Stonehenge by Northcott.
Isabella was a popular name in my Williamson line. The first record I have for an Isabella is a baptism in 1832 in Lancashire, England. She was the second daughter and fourth child of Thomas and Margaret [Pollitt] Williamson. Sadly she died and was buried on 2 May 1833. Shortly after her parents emigrated from England to America in 1836, they had another daughter and named her Isabella. For a time in subsequent generations, there were one or two more daughters named Isabella in the Williamson families. It makes me wonder if I won’t find another Isabella back even farther in my Williamson or Pollitt lines.
