"ROMANTIQUE" is the upper left picture and
 it is quite a lovely piece, if I do say so myself:)

Simply Vintage always creates a special little graphic
to go with each design and look how sweet my graphic is!
Thank you, Simply Vintage!!

For those not familiar with FABRIC COLLABORATIONS, 
here is a quick overview.
I fell in love with the fabric in this ca. 1880s block.

It became the jumping off point for the lovely piece, "ROMANTIQUE".
It is romantic and antique:)

The samples become a 'search a block' to see if you can 
find the designs I created to match the fabric design.

Simply Vintage magazine is one of the Quiltmania publications and they do fantastic layouts and an overview of some of the antiquing to be found in a feature city each issue.  The magazines are more like a book and a great resource for summer trips.

If you would like to read more about my process

CHRISTMAS SHIMMER



Get a jump on the holidays:)
This fun pattern requires the most minimal of paper piecing in order to get the cool border points that I made by accident and could NOT recreate with piecing no matter how hard I tried!

The wall hanging is only 24" square and additional instructions include a runner and placemats too for complete dining décor:)






FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY...



Publication previewThis pattern can be yours when you purchase the summer issue of Our Quilting Journey magazine HERE.

Katie Bock, editor, has put together a fun online magazine that features something for everyone so you will receive multiple patterns for the cost of one.

Enjoy and keep quilting.
