Something to look forward to

Island Batik has just released their newest catalogs and I have designs in both!

This is my design called Flower Shoppe.

It is a foundation paper pieced pattern for a bed size quilt that measures 71" x 89". The fabric line is called Garden Glory and it was designed by Claudia Pfeil.

The colors are rich and bright, which makes for a happy quilt!

The fabric will be shown to shopowners first for them to decide if they want to carry it in their shops.

If you like my design and you want to use the same amazing fabric I used when I designed it, let your favorite quilt shop know!

I'll just be here writing the pattern and getting it ready so you can recreate my design!

Fall Flair Blog Hop

Fall is my favorite season, so I was thrilled to have the opportunity to work with this new collection from Island Batik designer Jennifer Fulton. The colors inspired me to design this fall quilt using a foundation paper pieced leaf block and a 4 patch block thrown in for fun! My bed quilt measures 91" x 102", so it will fit a queen or king size bed. Scroll down to see alternative project that would create a table square for your Autumn festivities! If you like my bed quilt, Keepsake Quilting has put together a kit to make it!

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.
