A Little Quilt Show

 It has been a long time since I shared some of the photos I receive from quilters who made quilts using my patterns. I love seeing them and I thought you might too.

First up is this colorful Wiggle Time quilt.  Sadly I can't find who sent this one to me.  But I always love when quilter use a print background on this pattern.

Sue just recently sent this picture to me.  She has made quite a few quilts from my Wiggle Time pattern.  I love it in blue and I also love the diagonal grid quilting she did on it.

Check out this color rich Geese Migration quilt.  This one was made by one of my students when I traveled to California to teach this class.  I think her ribbon should have been a first place!

Lots of Summertime Blossom quilts to share today.  This first one was made by Pat.  Love the colors.

Chris made this Summertime Blossom quilt.  She was gifted the background fabric and pulled some solids from her stash to make the blossoms.

I laughed when I saw this one in my photos.  I must have quilted it because it is laying on my studio carpet.  But I don't remember whose it is or even quilting it. I know I saved the photo because I liked the subtle print used in the background of this Summertime Blossom. 

I know there are a few more photos somewhere but I am unable to locate them right now.  I will have to save those for another day.

Hope you enjoyed the show!

Some Year End Eye Candy

I often get photos of the lovely quilts other quilters make using my patterns.  I realized I haven't shared them on my blog since last summer.  Thought I would share a few today. 

This fun little quilt was made by Julie over at Julie's Quilts and Costumes using my Wiggle Time pattern.  You can read more about it on her blog.  If you don't already follow her, you should.  

Her quilts are amazing!

Sadly, I lost track of who sent me this Wiggle Time quilt.  They added a couple rows to make the quilt longer.  Check out that quilting!

This one I had the pleasure of quilting.  This Wiggle Time quilt was made from the softest pastel colors.  Very sweet!

It has been a while since I received a photo of a Spin quilt.  

I love this orange and gray combination!

Check out this lovely Summertime Blossoms quilt. 

 The colors are amazing...I really love the dark blue grunge background!

And finally, a few Geese Migration quilts.  These two are made by a student in one of my classes.  She has used her scraps to make multiple quilts.  I will be teaching this class in Roseburg Oregon in April.

If you see something you like, you can find all of my patterns in my Etsy Shop or in my Payhip Store. 

 I really do appreciate the support.

And thanks to all who share their finished quilts.  I really do love seeing them and I hope you do too.

Have a great weekend!

A Mini Quilt Show

 Pretty regularly, I receive photos of quilts made using one of my patterns.  I always love to see them and thought I would share a few of them with you today.

Here is a wonderful quilt made from my Wiggle Time pattern.  I love the solid color and the quilting she added that "wiggles" across the quilt..  This lap size pattern takes five fat quarters and some background fabric - you probably have the fabric in your stash!

This quilt was made using my All That Jazz pattern.  After seeing this one, I remembered I have a tub full of neutrals like black and taupe fabrics that would be perfect for this pattern.

Check out these two quilts made from my Spin! pattern.  I even had the pleasure of quilting the orange one.  I think it is the first quilt I have seen in that orange/gray combination...

I like it!

My Summertime Blossoms pattern was used to make this sweet little baby quilt.

And finally, I also received a photo of  this Geese Migration quilt.  The color work is amazing!  I really love to teach this class and I look forward to someday getting back out sewing with new and old friends.  Hopefully that will happen someday soon!

You can buy my patterns from my Etsy shop or from my Payhip store.  

I hope you share photos of what you make...It always makes my day to see them!

I am sorry to hear so many of you are buried in snow right now and many are without power.

Stay home and stay safe!

Are you a fan of batik fabrics?  Did you know that Connecting Threads now carries a number of manufacturers at great prices. 

A Mini Quilt Show

It has been a while since I have shared some of the photos others have sent me of quilts made form my patterns.  I love to see what people make and thought you might like to see them too.

This sweet quilt was made using my Summertime Blossoms pattern.  It was made from one of the students in a class I did last year.  I love the soft colors in it.

Wiggle Time quilts are always a favorite.  Five fat quarters and some background fabric and in no time you have a quilt top.  The variations are truly endless!

Next up is some lovely Geese Migration quilts.  This is one of my favorite classes to teach.  Hopefully one of these days I will be able to travel to teach again - I really miss it!

And finally an All That Jazz quilt.  This is an old quilt of mine that I just rediscovered.  It was pulled from some older stash fabric.

You can find my patterns in my Payhip pattern shop or on Etsy.  Also in my Etsy shop are some of my quilts - all listed at great prices.  I have too many and need to offload some of them!

Hope you are having a great week!

Willamette Valley Quilt Festival

I thought I would pop in and remind those in the PNW that this coming weekend is the Willamette Valley Quilt Festival in Albany Or.  I will be there on Friday the 31st.  My friend Sheila Sinclair Snyder is the featured quilter so I will be probably hanging around her booth all day if you want to stop by and say hello.

And what is a quilt show without some pretty quilts.  I thought I would share a few photos others have shared with me of quilts made using my patterns.  This photo is an in-process one of her Spin! quilt.  She used some beautiful shibori fabrics - I knew it was going to be beautiful!

Here is a "Moonlight Blossom" made using my Summertime Blossoms pattern.  I was very jealous of the beautiful soft gray fabrics in this one.

One clever quilter used my Summertime pattern to create this lovely quilt.  She modified the pattern slightly and used her design wall to help her place colors so she has more colored blossoms.  It is so charming in these solids and 30s prints.

So I hope to see a few of you on Friday at the quilt show!

I would love to meet you in person.

A Mini Quilt Show

One of my favorite things about designing quilt patterns is seeing the finished quilts that people make with them!

I have recently seen a number of fun finishes so I thought I would share a few with you....

I recently taught a workshop here in the Eugene area on my Summertime Blossom pattern.  I always enjoy it when the students send their finished quilts to me for quilting.

Isn't this little pink baby quilt cute?

Here is a shot of giant sized quilt from the same pattern on my frame.  Rather than use fat quarters, this quilter made each blossom a different fabric.

I quilted a slightly dense leaf pattern - I love the texture!

Last week I quilted up this sweet quilt made from batik fat quarters.  It is made from my Wiggle Time pattern.

And here is a photo sent to me from a quilter who used the same pattern to make an I-Spy quilt.

I thought this was a great idea!

And finally, a former student finished up her Geese Migration quilt and wanted me to quilt it up for her.  I always love to look at the scraps used and the beautiful colors in these quilts.

(BTW - I will be teaching my Geese Migration quilt at the Stitchin' Post in Sisters Oregon this fall if any of you want to travel and take a workshop with me.  I will post more details soon!)

A big thanks to all the quilters that share their lovely quilts from my patterns.  If you want to make one of your own, you can find them on Etsy or in my pattern store on Payhip.

Sew Fresh Quilts (Bee Social)

My Quilt Infatuation (Needle & Thread)

A Quick Small Finish

I am a very visual person.  So as I was making my quilt for the cover of my Summertime Blossoms pattern, I cut additional prints to "test" during the assembly.  The prints that were "rejected", ended up on my cutting table.  As I was cleaning up this week, I decided to sew up the blocks and make a little quilt with the parts.

This little quilt measures 32" square.  

Rather than have the petals all the same on each bloom, I mixed them up a bit.  This solved my problem of only having two color and only a print/solid in each color.  I think the quilt would have looked unbalanced if I had kept them uniform.

I used the same green fabric for the binding as I used on the backing.  I think I only had a one yard piece but it was enough for both.

I don't have a home for this so I might just donate it.  

For just a bunch of leftovers, I think it turned out pretty cute!

(If you want to see the post on the lap sized quilt, you can find it here.)

Blogger's Quilt Festival - Fall 2018 Second Entry

For my second entry into Amy Ellis' Blogger's Quilt Festival, I have a brand new finish to share!

This quilt is called Summertime Blossoms.

I recently revisited a quilt design I had published in Easy Quilts back in 2015.  I called that quilt Nighttime Blossoms.

This quilt uses 8 fat quarters and I knew I wanted to make a new quilt using a bundle of Bonnie and Camille's Miss Kate collection I have been hoarding for years.  Some Kona Lime worked perfectly for the background.

It is a quick and easy block to make and I love that there are not a lot of seams to match.

Here are both the Nighttime and Summertime Blossoms quilts together.

Lighting has been so difficult this time of year to get any good pictures.

I even took this quilt out in the wild to try and get some good pictures.  The sun and shadows just never worked my way!

If you want to make your own quilt, I do have this pattern now for sale in both my Payhip and Etsy pattern shop. It is a great way to use up those fat quarters you have been hiding in your stash!

And don't forget to head to Amy's Creative Side to see all the other lovely quilts linked up for this year's festival.  There is so much inspiration to be found there!
