6/16/2016

I have exciting news to share with you. Fons & Porter’s Love of Quilting is offering a kit for one of my quilt designs that I created for Quilting Treasures fabrics.

The collection used in the design is called Rosewater and it’s a lovely group of soft colored florals supported by a sweet selection of texture and tonal fabrics to complement the floral prints.

Quilting Treasures offers two sizes for this design, sofa sized and queen/regular sized quilt patterns. Fons & Porter is offering a kit for the sofa size of the design.

Now don’t get too excited because it won’t be available until after the beginning of July.

The construction for this quilt utilizes applique for the circle motifs and foundation piecing for the alternate blocks. If you make it please send me a picture if you have a chance. Happy Quilting!

Free Patterns From Quilting Treasures

If you’re a fan of the classic Christmas movie “A Christmas Story” then you should be excited to know that Quilting Treasures Fabrics has a line of fabrics that celebrates this iconic film. I was lucky to be the person that designed the projects for the collection. I came up with a quilt and a wall hanging for the collection. Click on the images below for the links to the free pattern downloads.  I love all the fabrics, but I think my favorite is the Leg Lamp print that comes in red or green. Happy quilting!

Notting Hill-Kensington studio for Quilting treasures

3/24/2015

 I have another couple of free patterns that I designed from Quilting Treasures. The collection is called Notting Hill. Notting Hill.NQuilting Treasures describes it as follows "Elegant, Jacobean designs richly translated in a traditional color palette – metallic accents". I would have to agree with the description. This is a really pretty group of fabrics. The projects include a queen sized quilt and a table runner. The fabrics come in two color ways as shown in the images below. As always I have looked for the fabric online and found it! Follow the link to Fabrics & Quilts.com to find what you need. They also have kits available for the runner. If you make either one of these I would love to see the final project when you're done.

Hi Folks, it's just come to my attention that Quilting Treasures has updated their web site. Therefore none of the links I had created to their page were valid anymore. I've been working on altering all of them but I may have missed one or two. If you can't find what you are looking for try their new archive of older patterns. Here is the link for the page where you can find many of the patterns I've designed for them. If there are any you can't find, please let me know and I'll see what I can do.

These are couple of free patterns that I designed for the Juno collection by Liz Kolansky for Quilting Treasures. The collection is formed around a beautiful image of iris. There is a wonderful assortment of values in the fabrics collection. These are great to play with when developing transparency in the design. The pattern designs include a throw sized quilt and a table runner. I looked for the fabrics online and found them at Melinda's Fabric Shop. Click here for the link. She also has kits for both projects. As always, please send me a picture if you make one of these designs. Happy Quilting!

This is a quilt I designed for Quilting Treasures about a year ago. It commemorates the anniversary of the Gettysburg Address. Click here for the pattern link. I took a little time to see where you could find fabric. I found fabric at a site called the Sewing Basket. I found the kit at a site called Stich N Time. Happy quilting. As always if you make a quilt from one of my designs, I would love to see it!

Let it Rain from Quilting treasures

Here is a wall hanging and a twin quilt  that I designed using fabric from Simon & Kabuki for Quilting Treasures. The collection is called Let it Rain. Click on the images for the pattern links. The collection is old and may not still be available, but I'm sure this design would look cute with any fabrics. I did a quick search of the internet and the fabric is still out there.  The boots are appliques made to resemble the boots in the fabric used in the center. I really enjoyed working with this collection.
