Blog Hop Winner Announcement!

Congratulations goes out to Sew Girl!  She was chosen by random number generator as the winner of these 5" charms from the new Bee Hive Buzz fabric collection by Island Batik.  

When asked what her favorite flower was, she commented:  "Beautiful quilt! My favorite flower is the rose. My dad used to really have a green thumb with them!"

I used the Bee Hive Buzz collection to make my quilt, Beeswax.  If you missed my post on the hop day, you can read it here:  Island Batik Ambassador Studio 180 blog hop featuring Beeswax

I love this fabric collection so much, I have another quilt I made with it for the Island Batik catalog.  Stay tuned for a post about my Nectar quilt, coming soon!

Spring Market Quilt and Pattern ~ New!

This is the Spring Market quilt.  It's one of my new patterns this year.  This quilt is featured in the Island Batik catalog.  The pattern is available in my Etsy shop and select quilt shops across the USA.

Disclaimer:  The fabrics used to make this quilt were generously given to me by Island Batik.

I used the Mountain Gems fabric collection by Kathy Engle for Island Batik.  I just love the gorgeous blues and greens in this collection.  The designs on the fabrics are equally awesome.  Do you see the curly vines?  That one is my favorite.  This fabric is available in quilt shops now.

The main block for this quilt is a star with an on-point nine patch in the center.  These are really fun to sew.

Trail Mix did a little photobomb while I was taking pictures.  I'm sure she is wondering what this quilt is doing hanging on the outside of the house.  That's not where they belong.  How can she cuddle it like this?

The star blocks are set in blue sashing with checkerboard cornerstones.  A classic look.  The checkerboard is also featured in one of the quilt borders.

I quilted Spring Market in an all-over loopy meander.
