A Year of Schnibbles challenge started September 1. Those joining will make a quilt every month from a Schnibble pattern by Miss Rosie’s Quilt Co. Go here to view patterns from her Schnibble collection.
So just what is a Schnibble? In Rosie’s words,
Schnibble: noun A scrap of fabric; a leftover bit of cloth; a small piece. The word has a German origin and is found primarily in German settlements in the Midwest.
From the Dictionary of American Regional English published by the Harvard University
Dawn of Spring Water Designs blog finished her first Schnibble quilt, Winter White. Go here to view. I’m loving her fall color palette.
For the quilters out there who also love language, it’s pure fun just to read the names of Rosie’s quilt patterns. Here are a few: Sweet Escape, Birdseye, Summer Rental, Ridley, Emma’s Legacy and Sweet Tea
Unlike some beautiful pastries that look great but do not deliver on taste, these deliver as dandy eye candy. My fave is Sweet Tea.
Go hereto see others. Now, back to Schnibbles. According to A Quilting Life the following stores are participating in A year of Schnibbles:
