Charming Circles by Kimberly Einmo
In January 2010, Kimberly Einmo had reported that her quilt, "Charming Circles," was stolen. It was one of several quilts that were passed around at the Scrap and Sew Open House Event in Lutz, Florida. There were about fifty people in attendance and the store did not have security cameras, so there is no way to know who might have taken it.
On June 3, 2010, Kimberly wrote,"I’m very happy to report that Charming Circles has been RETURNED to me! I promised amnesty — no questions asked — if whoever took my quilt would return it. The quilt was returned to me last week and I promised I would not give the details other than to say it may have been an honest mistake that the quilt was taken in the first place. The bottom line, I am thrilled that the individual did the right thing and returned the quilt to me. Happy ending!"
This quilt is featured in her new book, "Jelly Roll Quilts & More." It is an original design of arc blocks set in horizontal rows and rotated to create circles. It is 22" square. Kimberly used modern, bright colors including the Woodland Bloom fabric line by Lila Tueller.
