Twas a few months before Christmas....

and all through the house, Margie wanted to create a quilt like none other around.

She thought and thought about greens, blues and reds, but then got too tired and had to go off to bed.

Margie was all nestled and snug in her bed while Visions of Sugarplums danced in her head.

While night time wore on she peacefully slept and in the morning awoke, and said "Oh my heck"

she wasted not a minute but went straight to work and measured and cut while the vision still lurked.

Working long and hard through out the day, she kept going and then was happy to say.

"I think I done, won't people be pleased, with what I created for them to all see."

So I hope ya'll like the new Christmas quilt, I call "Visions of Sugarplums"

or I might just wilt.

Happy Holiday!

Hot off the Press!!

Here's 2 of my newest patterns!

Just released this morning.

GARDEN CRITTERS

The quilt finishes 54" x 66". The caterpillars are appliqued with Shannon Fabrics "Cuddle" fabric, the eyes are tiny buttons from Hill Creek Designs (the button packs are made and ready to order, from me or hillcreekdesigns.com)

The fabrics are from Clothworks called "Beetle Boy" an older line of fabric. I used "Cuddle" fabric for the back of this quilt which I LOVE !!!

I already have brand new line fabric to make this quilt again. The fabric line for the new quilt is "Bug a Boo" by Adornit. I will show you that when it's done. OK on to my next show and tell....

Welcome Home

This pattern is the first in a series called "Triple Take". Each pattern will have three coordinating quilts.

For this pattern the wall quilt is 48" square, the medium quilt is a table topper, 28" square and the mini quilt is 12" square. Fabric line is from Clothworks called American Valor.

The table topper I designed to double as a huge potholder.

OK let em explain. I discovered this way COOL stuff while at quilt market. It called "Insul-Bright" by The Warm Company. It's a needled insulated lining. It can be used in pot holders, oven mitts, ironing board covers, just tons of stuff. Not only does it reflect heat back to it's source, it also reflects cold too. So you can use this stuff for insulated beach bags, lunch boxes, etc. Pretty cool stuff. Ya'll need to try some.

Now for the mini quilt. The stand is from Ackfeld Manufacturing. You have to check these guys out. Their website is http://www.ackfeldwire.com/. They have some of the coolest metal stands, hangers and hooks just for quilts. This stand has a removable topper (the scroll part) that can switched out with other ones for different season. Totally great stuff!!!

Both quilts were quilted by Brandy, which she is amazing!!! Tell me what you think of the new patterns. Have a fabulous day. Visions of Sugarplums is up next.....

Back from vacation

Hello to all!!! Happy Summer. I'm back from vacation and getting back into the groove. We took a trip to Indiana and were gone for 10 days. While there we went to Middlebury to see the sights and have dinner. I of course had to stop by "The Quilt Shop" there and see their wonderful shop. Lots of fun fabrics, kits and patterns. If you are ever in the neighborhood you should stop by to see it.




Throughout Indiana they have these flower gardens that are planted to look like quilt blocks. They are just beautiful. This one is in Middlebury. We were able to see just this one.

The trip was fun, tiring and worth it. Glad to be home and sewing again.
