I'm excited to that have another quilt in Quiltmaker magazine. You will find the design, called Magic Stars, in the September/October issue. The designed was inspired by the diagonal designs found on decorative ceramic tiles. I've always been fascinated with repeating patterns. I love the surprise design you see where the corners meet when you connect the tiles. Below, you'll find the design depicted in a couple of different collections now available from Quilting Treasures Fabrics. Below that are the individual blocks from each quilt. If you go to Quiltmaker Blog you can see what their Scrap Squad folks did with the design.

This is Psyche-Dahlia, another project that my friend Janice Roy and I collaborated on. It was for the Hoffman Challenge 2014. We decided to use the medallions in the print as our inspiration. I drew a few ideas in my sketch book and then we decided upon our final design. I drafted the design and made the top. I then handed it off to Janice to add her wonderful quilting designs to the final creation. When she was done, she gave it back to me so that I could finish the quilt by adding the binding, label and hanging sleeve. Our creation didn't win but it was good enough for travel! So that's a pretty good consolation prize. Click here to see the winners.
