The Joyful Quilt
I feel this quilt deserves its own post. At a whopping 80″ x 100″, it is definitely the largest quilt I have made to date and I love it! The above photo gives you an idea of its immensity. Photographed in my 8 ft-ceilinged home, it JUST fit on my bedroom wall, pinned to the […]
A Couple More Frolic Quilts
A couple weeks ago I shared the first 2 of 4 quilts I made with FROLIC for Quilt Market. Today it’s time for the other two. As FROLIC is a pretty young, playful, bold collection, I wanted to create a quilt that worked along the same lines. My mind went to children’s sorting games where […]
A Couple FROLIC Quilts From Quilt Market
I sat out Quilt Market this time around, but FROLIC was there in full force in the Michael Miller Fabrics booth. In preparation I made four quilts, two of which I am sharing with you today (and yes, you have access to the free instructions for both). The first is a baby quilt. Happy, young […]
Introducing FROLIC and my First Knits!
After a long spell of being busy working on other projects, I am so thrilled to let you know I have a new fabric collection making its debut at Quilt Market in St Louis later this week and shipping to stores mid-June. Inspired by a Mexican fiesta, FROLIC is a sweet, bright and playful collection […]
My Quilt Market Booth
Welcome to my Quilt Market booth! In comparison to my last booth at Quilt Market, this season’s was simpler, with a greater emphasis on the quilt. I have discovered the wisdom in some of the most rudimentary of quilters’ rules (measure ACCURATELY, press seams, obey the scant 1/4″ seam allowance, etc), and making quilts for this […]
Quilt Market – Fall 2014
I wanted to share with you all a quick look at a few booths and fabric lines that inspired me at Quilt Market last weekend (while my camera was co-operating, that is). Sadly, there were a few amazing sights that ended up a blurred mess on my camera, so here is an abridged look at […]
Going to Quilt Market
I am off again on Friday to Quilt Market. I have been sewing up a frenzy for the past few weeks, hence the lack of posts here. I had more time this time, and yet I still don’t feel nearly as prepared as I did in the Spring. I’m sure … well, let’s say “I […]
My First Ever, Wee Little Quilt Market Booth
Yes, it was tiny! All of 5′ x 10′. Actually, that shot looks like a dollhouse. Here’s some perspective and proof I was actually there: Not only was it little, but I had to visually divide it to show the 2 separate collections and not have it all look like a jumbled visual mess. So, […]
“Les Monsieurs” Have Arrived
And my second collection that was shown at Quilt Market … Les Monsieurs Today, I’m calling all boys … Gentlemen, start your engines! A fun, youthful collection that is about doing what most boys love … racing, building and pretending to be like Dad. Available in 3 versatile colourways. Here is Aviator (a bit earthy, […]
Quilt Market Spring 2013
I have been overwhelmed with a mountain of work since getting back home. But finally I have sorted through images. So, go grab yourself a cup (or glass) of whatever you may enjoy drinking while you relax, sit back and enjoy the visual feast of Quilt Market as I saw it. First up, the non-printed […]
