Quilty as charged

I finally received the originally-supposed-to-come-in-January Peanuts Quilted Celebrations, a book with CD-ROM of vital files for quilting your own Peanuts materials. It has instructions for 10 different items (with an eleventh on the disk), mostly holiday items with a somewhat odd distribution (two items for St. Patty’s Day, only one for Christmas… well, the author’s name is “Kathleen Shea”, so perhaps a little more interest than average in the Irish celebration is understandable!)
The items are attractive. Working in this fixed medium, they don’t really capture Schulz’s line weight… which is probably why my favorite item in the group is the one done as a silhouette, a placemat for Halloween.
I’m not a quilter. My dear mother was, but I never tried to learn from her, so I cannot judge the quality of the instructions here. Still, it looks like this 96-page full-color paperback is a good item for those who have overlapping interest in Peanuts and quilting, and I suspect there’s at least a couple of you in my audience!
