Pepe in Paris Fabric Collection

I am always a sucker for anything to do with Paris. I have Eiffel Towers and the like all around my house. So when I see a new fabric collection featuring one of my favorite themes I just have to share! Here is a new line from Riley Blake Designs called Pepe in Paris.

Here are a few prints that are my favorite in the collection:

Sweet As Honey Fabric Collection

I have been on the hunt for new fabric collections that have inspired me. I love this new collection Sweet As Honey Fabric Collection by Bonnie Christine Designs with Art Gallery Fabrics. I love the beautiful pinks, blues and brown tones in the collection. Reminds me of the wonderful spring colors soon to come.

Quilt Trends: Winter 2013 Issue

About Quilt Trends Issue:
Welcome! It's time once again to showcase some of the latest fabric collections and beautiful quilts for the upcoming season. For quilters, nothing compares to the excitement of seeing lots of colors and new prints when considering our next project. Thanks to our team of talented designers, we've included a variety of unique quilts and smaller projects in this issue of Quilt Trends to keep you happily ensconced indoors—so be prepared to be inspired!
One of our newest features is the "Trendswatch" report. Here, we highlight popular quilting-related products and items from shop owners, quilt shows, and designers as a springboard to entice you to explore more and to open doors, as well as to spark ideas.
With this in mind, one product gaining status in the quilting world is glue. Increasingly, glue warrants a place in our sewing studios and is valuable when it comes to creating three-dimensional appliqué, art quilts, or embellishments. Designer and sewing instructor Marinda Stewart gives us ideas and guidelines on when and where to use glue as a quilting tool (see "Stick to It" on page 80).
Our featured fabric designer is Michele D'Amore (see page 36). Her style is modern; her approach, contemporary. Michele has a talent for balancing tones, shades, and print scale with her beautiful artwork. Her Contempo fabric collections for Benartex are truly a modern sewist's delight and work perfectly for home décor.
As always, our goal is to inspire you with lots of trendy colors, patterns, and ideas. Remember, save your leftovers—there are lots of clever ways to use smaller fabric pieces!

Northern Lights

Winter 2013 Issue

Lovely as a bed quilt or living room accent, Northern Lights whirls with color and energy. The geometric prints and beautiful shades of blue, green, and purple add excitement to traditional, easy-to-piece spinning blocks

A Pep Talk from Kid President to You

I watched this video the other day and loved it!!! If you need some great inspiration and a few laughs here is a good video for you. This kid is adorable.

I'm currently working on some new designs I'm pretty excited about. I've been inspired by solids and using them in contemporary designs to create some new looks. So keep watching the blog for up coming projects.

Enjoy!

New Patterns Debut at Spring Quilt Market

I was very excited to preview all the new patterns I have coming out to store owners at Spring International Quilt Market in Portland, Oregon in May. It was fun to see all the new fabrics coming out in the next few months and all the creative booth designs. Portland was especially fun because I was able to see my aunt and her family while I was there as well. We went to a huge Christmas store called Sleighbells Gift Shop. If you are ever in the Portland area it is a must see!

Here are a few pictures of my booth at Quilt Market! All the fabric featured is my first fabric line with RJR Fabrics called: Adventures.

Adventures will hit the stores in September so be on the look out for it!

 

This quilt is called Brooklyn. The cover for this pattern features this colorway and also a purple version. Both versions are available in a kit from RJR Fabrics.

 

The quilt on the left is called Letters. Letters design was inspired by the letters written back and forth during World Wars I & II. The quilt on the right is called Aero Plane. Aero Plane will propel any nursery into a wonderful adventure of flight for any young aviator.

 

These two pictures are a new pattern called: Wishing Tree & Signature Quilt. This pattern was a big hit at Market! The Signature Quilt pattern includes the words: Just Married, Baby on Board, Happy Anniversary and Best Wishes. So the quilt can be used for many occasions to mark a special event.

Use my label print or instructions are included to create your own labels for a DIY Wishing Tree. The wishing tree can be used for many different types of events such as weddings, anniversary parties or baby showers. You can then use the wishing labels after the event to hang on a Christmas tree to remember these fun occasions. Great for a first Christmas after a wedding or a baby's first Christmas tree.

 

Two more patterns that debuted at Market are the Suitcase Pot Holder (right) and Passport Wallet (left).
