Sew a Garden Pattern Release Day!

 Happy Saturday, happy October, and happy pattern release day!

Earlier this year, Benartex invited me to create a few block of the month designs with their upcoming fabric lines. I immediately keyed in on Pat Sloan's Sleepovers collection - it's got everything a quilter needs: great colors, a variety of values in each color, and different sized prints. Perfect for designing!

I chose these fabrics:

And used them to design the Sew a Garden BOM. 

I chose the name because each row reminded me of the rows in a flower garden (although in my actual garden, there would be plenty of weeds, too, LOL!)

I really like row-by-row BOMs because finishing a full row each month feels like such an accomplishment! There are 9 rows in this quilt; the final month of the BOM is for assembly.

Each row features a different block or unit, so they're all different, and they also use a variety of techniques. Two fo the rows include curved piecing, but I've included applique directions as well. 

We'll be working our way down the quilt, so Month 1 will be the top row. 

When you purchase the pattern, you'll receive the cover with yardage info and Month 1. On the 1st of each month, you'll receive the next month's pattern. 

You can purchase the pattern here.

I hope you'll join me for this fun BOM!

Tulip Row in Bonnie Lane

Recently I was asked to make a quilt for Benartex's Fat Quarterly newsletter using Pat Sloan's new Bonnie Lane fabric collection (more on that quilt later). 

These two wanted in on my fabric photo shoot. They're quite the posers, aren't they?!

After I finished that quilt, I realized that I had the perfect idea for the leftovers. 

Here's my Tulip Row quilt shown in Bonnie Lane fabrics:

I didn't have enough leftovers to sew the whole quilt, so I created a single row wall hanging. I love the warm colors in this fabric line. 

Hello, tulip! 

The Bonnie Lane collection is available in precut 2-1/2"-wide strips, which is exactly what Tulip Row uses (plus additional yardage for backing, leaves, circles and binding). You can purchase the digital pattern in my Etsy shop. Ask for Bonnie Lane precuts at your local quilt shop or order it here.
