When watercolor kits first became available there was a kit with a
watercolor background and three black silhouetted crosses appliqued
onto the background. Does anyone else remember this kit or am I
dreaming? Was it in a book? I have done a google search with no
reward. If anyone can send me in the correct direction I would
appreciate it. I thought that design would be a good one for the
Easter wallhanging at the nursing home. Since I can see the
wallhanging so clearly in my mind it wouldn't be hard to recreate but
if there is still a kit available it would save me time.

Can't help with the exact one you are looking for but in WATERCOLOR QUILTS,
p.94, there is a quilt with a large single cross made from watercolor
blocks. The description says: "Glowing sunlight casts its reflection on a
textured backdrop, highlighting the liturgical symbols of Easter and
Pentecost."

I can almost see the one you asked about though, darn it. I think the
problem is, if you are like me, you look at so many patterns and kits and
books and instructions that after a while we are putting stuff together in
our heads that never really existed. :D

Keepsake Quilting used to carry it. I think I saw similar patterns in the
latest catalog. Yu could try calling them and asking.

I think I've seen that but not sure where. I have this pattern I would like
to make up this year.

No pattern but look at this:

that would be easy enough to make just looking at the picture and using a
design wall.

Keepsake Quilting carried a kit like this at one time. Not sure if they still
have it tho. They have a website. Maybe you could try a search there?

Thanks for letting me know I am not dreaming. I had already checked
Keepsake Quilting web page and new catalog. Tomorrow I think I will
call the store and see if by chance they have a kit leftover. None of
our local stores had one.

If I don't find a kit soon I will set a date to visit my friend who
only does watercolor quilts. She will have all the fabric. I just
don't want to go looking for all the fabric I would need to make a
watercolor wallhanging.

Today I made the log cabin heart from Elenaor Burns' "Still Stripping
After 25 Years". Five blocks set on point is large enough. This will
be great for February. Think I need to make two for March, one in
green for St Patrick's Day and another for Easter.

For Christmas I made the VIP Nativity panel and it was beautiful.
Everyone thought I appliqued all the design. I kept telling them that
it came printed that way. I had snowmen planned for January but it is
so late in the month that I thought I would just skip January this
year. When I started giving them seasonal wallhangings I gave them a
generic one for the months when I didn't get a special one finished.
It has been fun to see how interested the residents are in what the
next wallhanging will be.
