UPDATE ON BY THE SEA
(designed by Helen Weinman for Marcus Fabrics)
(a few of Helen’s designs from a total of 13)
While in Manhattan, I visited Marcus Fabrics, the company that prints my designs. I am working on
BY THE SEA for a new release this winter. Most designs are remaining, although altered a bit to reflect some customer feedback. It is such a joy to see my designs so well received around the world. If your local store doesn’t carry my fabric please urge them to do so. I can help stores market the fabric with backup patterns and displays.

Helen Weinman's Quilts: Color by Number
Most schools do not offer sewing as a class or after school activity. There is a gap that needs to be filled. More than just a color by number book, this book is designed to teach children of all ages about color choices. The same quilt is pictured on facing pages. They are color coded (by number) so that when the quilts are colored in, the results look different. It is a lesson that demonstrates to adults, and now children, that design is secondary to fabric (and color) choices. The identical layout is repeated, without numbers, in the back of the coloring book so the child can use their imagination in creating their own design, if desired.
If a child shows interest in the coloring process, then maybe he/she will say “Grandma (Mom-Aunt-Friend), I want to make this quilt, may I?” What follows can be the construction of the desired quilt. The pieces are large to enable young fingers to easily handle and sew the fabric, complete the quilt, and increase the child’s manual dexterity.
The personal satisfaction for the child and the supervising adult, of a completed quilt is fantastic. The quilts can be used as doll quilts, lap or couch quilts, framed as a wall hanging, or made into a pillow. The patterns with diagrams are available on a CD or in print and are sewn by hand or machine. Kits complete with directions and fabric (reproduced according to the coloring book) are available to be sewn by hand or machine. Please see ordering information on the back inside cover.
Have fun coloring. Have fun bonding with your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, friends or students. Children will cherish the experience and, who knows, maybe they, too, will become a quilter (lucky them)!

We are very sad to say that we have lost 3 quilter friends
in the recent past:
CAROL SEAVEY, of Cumberland, Maine, has been a friend of
Heartbeat Quilts for many years, attending quilt camp with
her best friend, Maria Edwards, on a regular basis. She
passed from cancer and will be remembered specifically at
our Relay for Life event in June.
ELEANOR MEANEY, of South Yarmouth, MA (Cape Cod), one of the
most talented quilters we've ever seen and a friend for 20
years, passed away from cancer. She too, will be remembered
specifically at our Relay for Life event in June.
CAROLYN FICKS, of Denmark, Maine, the niece of Gretchen
Holmes formerly of Sagamore Beach, Ma. participated in Quilt
Camp for many years along with Gretchen and enjoyed her
life, which was taken too prematurely. She was in a fatal
car accident and she will be missed very much by Gretchen,
her family and friends and all of us at Heartbeat. |

Sylvia Weinman
January 26, 1914 - July 31, 2007
Thank you for your cards and emails expressing condolences
for the recent passing of Helen's Mom, Sylvia Weinman. She
was almost 94 and lived a very full and productive life. She
was part of Heartbeat Quilts for many years, entertaining
customers with her stories, wit, and sage advice. She will
be missed by all who knew and loved her. |
