One of my newest designs will be kitted and sold by Keepsake Quilting!

I have been incredibly busy but I have to take a minute to talk about some very exciting news, at least for me!

I have been designing patterns to feature Island Batik fabrics for a couple of years and one of my recent designs, named Woodland Cottage, was featured in a reel on Keepsake Quilting's Facebook page. I have been a fan of Keepsake Quilting forever and loved to go through their print catalog again and again back in the day. I am trying to link the video here but I don't know how to do it, but if you go to Facebook and search on Keepsake Quilting's page, you will see their video that was posted on February 4, 2025.

Flower Pot Blog Hop

I was given the opportunity to design a project with Jennifer Fulton's newest fabric line for Island Batik, called Flower Pot, and this is what I did with it!

My design is a lap or wall size quilt. It measures 56" square. It is paper pieced and the blocks are assembled with an easy Y seam so if you like a challenge and to learn new skills to add to your repertoire this quilt might be for you! My quilt is called One Week Later...If you get the reference, please leave a comment!

I will randomly choose one person with the correct answer and they will receive a free digital copy of this new pattern.

I would also love to hear suggestions for a better name!

The pattern is available as a download on my website: larkspurlanedesigns.com

New Pattern available! Feather Star

This is my newest pattern released called Feather Star. It measures 61" x 74". It is a foundation paper pieced design done in Island Batik's collection called Geometric Symphony and a few of their basics from their Foundations line thrown in.

I love the buttery yellows and the juicy purples! I think they make for a bright and happy quilt.

Witchy Wishes Pattern Available Now!

My newest pattern is available on my website now! This sweet little witch is just the right size to hang on your wall or your door. The block measures 17" x 20" and I added 2 obrders to my sample, which made it measure 29" x 33". The width of the borders can be changed to make the quilt a little larger or smaller if you prefer.

Trying to bring awareness to a very big problem

This is not quilting related but it IS a matter of life and death for some people and some of those people are quilters. So I'm hoping to reach as many people as possible to bring this problem to light. Although I believe that the legislation that was recently passed capping the price of insulin was a wonderful idea, the greed of the 3 major producers of insulin for the United States has turned it into a death sentence for the millions of Americans who are insulin dependent.

Because their profit margin has dropped so much on insulin, they have slashed production of insulin in favor of other drugs that make them more money. This is causing a shortage. People who are dependent on insulin to live don't have any other options. They will die if they can't get it. We cannot let this stand. PEOPLE OVER PROFITS

New pattern coming soon!

This is my newest design called Love Is... I started it more than a year ago but other deadlines kept popping up and this had to wait. It is a paper pieced block that is perfect for a novelty print or some special photos for the center of the block. The pattern will include 2 block sizes, a 10" and a 12" block foundation. It will also include directions to make a 1 block candle mat, a 3 block table runner and a 4 block table square that can also be modified to be used as a tree skirt.

Let me know what you think!
