Some of you may recall that Katja's Quilt Shoppe was featured in the Fall 2008 issue of Quilt Sampler Magazine.This was a very exciting time for us and a huge honor. Each issue features 10 top shops across the USA and Canada. Not every issue contains a Canadian shop. At most one Canadian store is features amongst the 10 shops.
One of the pictures featured in our article was a mini Cathedral Window quilt that my Mom made for me as a Christmas gift several years ago. Later she also made a slightly smaller version for Linda (who brings my Mom her Starbucks fix every Friday). I was reminded of this today while reading Linda's blog at http://www.lindasquiltmania.blogspot.com/
Below is the picture from the Quilt Sampler article along with the original quilt beneath it. My quilt is 5 1/2" x 7 1/4".
My Mom loves to challenge herself by working in miniature. I have been the fortunate recipient of a mini Double Wedding Ring quilt, a mini Baltimore Album, a 1/4 scale Thimbleberries quilt made from leftovers from the original full sized quilt, as well as projects made from 1/4" hexagons. Look for more of her miniature creations in upcoming posts.

Thanks for letting me know about your blog Katja, it came to my email. You are quite the photographer, loved the rainbow. I'm looking forward to keeping in touch with you ladies down there via blog and hopefully I will get down in person a little more often.
