A sneak peak from a top secret photo shoot

Posted by on Sep 12, 2012 in Blog

I went to my friend’s farm yesterday for a top secret photo shoot.  It is only top secret because I took pictures of samples of my next two quilt patterns but since they aren’t ready, I can’t share the pics yet. And it is killing me because I am so excited about them.  I better get cracking on finishing the patterns. But, I can show this great shot. I brought along the Bella version of By Sea or By Land and it stole the show, or at least it stole the shoot when it came to the air stream. The blues in the quilt and awning are just amazing together. Thanks again Hilary and...

The Most Amazing Trip to Colorado

Posted by on Aug 15, 2012 in Blog

I just got back from a super fun vacation to Colorado. I spent a lot of time in Denver and had the chance to meet some really amazing ladies. My first stop was to Fabric Bliss to meet the lovely Aurora and her mom Jude. Fabric Bliss was one of the first stores to buy my patterns and it was beyond awesome to see them in the store. Aurora and Jude were so nice and made me want to just hang out in their store all day. The store is gorgeous and I am so excited to be a part of it. Here I am in front of the shop. So exciting!

A Birthday Quilt

Posted by on Aug 15, 2012 in Blog

My wonderful brother-in-law just had a birthday and was long overdue for a new quilt. He was my great behind-the-quilt model for the Star Gazer and By Sea or By Land beach photo shoot and mentioned how much he loved some of the Storyboek 2 prints. He loves to dive and always shares the tasty fish and scallops he gets so it only seemed fair to make him a special quilt. I used Birch’s Urchin Shells Shroom, Kelp Play, Bubble Play and Bubble Life sashed with Kona Snow.  I love how versatile this collection is and how mature and sophisticated this quilt turned out. Here is a close up of the quilting. I received a copy of Angela Water’s quilting book for my...
