I recently had the privilege to design some sample quilts using a new line of fabric coming out from Fabri-Quilt this fall. What fun! Their new Marblehead line by Ro Gregg is worth waiting for. And is right up my alley!! Similar to Northcott’s Stonehenge line, this has wonderful colors and textures. I could play with this line for months and never run our of ideas! LOL.
Oh Wait. . . .let me start by saying my new pattern, Bath of Apolausis is coming out this month in the October issue of Quilter’s World.
This next picture is from the magazine. I downloaded it from their digital issue which just came out on their website. I had to laugh when I saw this page. Not only is there a whole picture of the Bath quilt but the other two
OK, now to move on to the new stuff. Not sure where these will end up. Likely I will publish some of these. Fabri-Quilt used several as promotional models for their fabric line. Here are a few of the ones I designed. For some reason that sort of have an “eastern” and “southwestern” feel to them. I was exploring the possibilities of using just two blocks and creating lots of different looks based on rotating and color blocks. Tell me what you think?
Then I did another series of quilts using the Marblehead Christmas fabrics that I based on a quilt I designed for my friend Kathi some years ago for a BOB (bag o’ blocks) that I put together for here. Here are a few of those.
Then I worked on some more fun and whimsical patterns using Ro Gregg’s new Calypso line. That was a bit more challenge but still fun. They selected one of them for Fall Market, so I will keep that one a secret. Here are a few of the designs they didn’t select. I sort of like these better! LOL
Ok, I am looking at these saying to myself. So. . . what is my style? Oh wow, what a great give-away question. Leave a comment and describe “my style.” I need to be able to put it on my website and can’t really decide IF I have a style. . .LOL
A free Morning Glory Designs Pattern of your choice goes to the best description of “my style.” Contest ends Sept 3, in one week.
I see you as an innovative traditionalist...your designs seem to have a strong foundation in traditional patterns, but you amp them up either through color (choice or placement)or design (size or placement). BTW, Love them all!!!
