My Twizzle Quilt is on the Cover of Quilter's World Magazine!

My Twizzle quilt is on the cover of the Spring 2025 issue of Quilter's World magazine!  I'm so excited to be a cover girl again.  Don't you love the gorgeous photo they took with the pink bicycle and basket of flowers?  I have a pink beach bicycle very similar to the one in the photo.  Sometimes I ride it to the mailbox.  So fun!

Disclosure:  The items used to make this quilt were given to me by Island Batik and industry partners.

I was so excited whilst making the Twizzle quilt that I did not take in process photos, like I usually do.  So sorry!  The center part of the quilt is paper pieced.  I did take a pic of the fabrics I used for Twizzle.  These fabrics are from the Geometrica collection by Island Batik.  I also used Hobbs Poly-Down batting and Schmetz needles to make this project.

Here's a full quilt photo I took on my studio porch so you can see the circular design and all the soft colors from the Geometrica collection.  If you want to make a Twizzle quilt, you can find the Spring 2025 issue of Quilter's World magazine in local shops now, or you can order a digital copy online, here:  Quilter's World Spring 2025 Issue  If you sew a Twizzle quilt, please share a pic with me on Instagram @curlicuecreations, or in my Facebook Group, Quilters Show and Tell.  I would love to see your quilt!

Cascade Quilt and Pattern in Quilter's World Summer 2024

Yes, I'm behind on my blogging again. There has been so much going on this summer.  School is starting here on Monday and my last child is beginning high school.  Time has been flying by.  

Today I'm showing my Cascade quilt.

Disclaimer:  The fabric used for this quilt was given to me by Island Batik at no cost to me.

Cascade is in the Summer 2024 issue of Quilter's World magazine.  The pattern is on pages 76 through 81.  You can still order a digital copy of this issue online here:  Quilter's World Summer 2024  If you are lucky, you may still find a copy at your local quilt shop, but the Fall issue is out now.  I have a fun Halloween project in that issue that I'll be posting here soon.

Let me show you this gorgeous fabric I used for my quilt.  This collection is Fairy Floss by Island Batik.  It has got to be one of my all time favorite Island Batik collections ever!!!!  Look at all those gorgeous blues, greens, purples, and pinks.  It makes my eyes happy.

This quilt features two simple star blocks in different sizes and colors.  This is Star Block A.

Star Block B.

I believe Cascade was the first quilt I finished after I moved into my new home last year.  I'm still working on finding the best places to take quilt photos.  This one is on my front porch.  There is a farmer's field across from me that had nothing in it when this was taken, but is currently full of corn.

Quilting close up.  Loopy meander quilting.  I used Hobbs Tuscany Cotton Wool Blend for the batting and King Tut Angel Lavender thread.

So lovely.

I'm all ready for fall front porch sitting!

Flurries Quilt in Quilter's World Winter 2023 Issue

This is the Flurries quilt.  Do you see the blue and white snowflakes gently floating down on a crisp, quiet morning?

Disclaimer:  The fabric for this quilt was provided by Island Batik.

Flurries is one of three quilts I made with Island Batik's English Lavender fabric collection.  These are the six fabrics I used for this quilt.  

Here is one of the Flurries blocks.  

This quilt was made before I moved last summer.  It had quite a journey on it's way home to me from photography at the magazine.  It was accidentally shipped back to my old home.  There was a tense two weeks during which I thought I would never see this quilt again, but luckily it was recovered and eventually made it to my new home where it is currently being loved and displayed in my living room.

Here is a photo of Flurries from the magazine, Quilter's World.  If you follow me on social media you've probably seen this quilt before.  I'm so far behind on my blogging, but I'm going to try to get a few posts written today and out to you this coming week.

This is the issue of Quilter's World that features the Flurries quilt.  It's the Winter 2023 issue and you can still purchase it online from Annie's.  They only have a few print copies left, but you can also get a digital copy if you prefer that format.  Here's the link to purchase:  Quilter's World Winter 2023 Issue

If you make a Flurries quilt, please share a pic with me on Instagram @curlicuecreations.  I would love to see your quilt!

Triangle Twist Quilt and Pattern in Quilter's World Magazine!

Have you seen my new Triangle Twist quilt?  It's on the cover of the Spring 2023 issue of Quilter's World Magazine.  I'm a cover girl!  Woo-hoo!

The pattern starts on page 39, if you have the magazine.  If not, you can order one here:  Quilter's World Spring 2023

As you can see, the blocks are all constructed with triangles in different sizes.  No worries, it's not as tricky as it looks.  It's actually really fun to sew!  

The beautiful blues I used for this quilt came from the new Chickadee collection, plus blenders and a solid, all by Island Batik.

Disclaimer:  The fabric used to make this quilt was given to me by Island Batik.

This quilt was inspired by walks along the seashore, watching the waves come in, cresting with white foam.  Do you see it?

Triangle Twist is waiting for Spring to bloom here in North Carolina.  This is my favorite spot for front-porch stitching.

I backed Triangle Twist with this beautiful blue blender fabric, also by Island Batik.  The binding fabric matches the outer border fabric on the front of the quilt.  I do matching binding whenever possible.  I don't like my binding to compete for attention with the design of the quilt.

As you can see, I quilted a loopy meander in an allover design.
