Peacock Plumes Virtual Blog Hop

Hello! It's my day on the Peacock Plumes Virtual Blog Hop, and I'm excited to share how Tammy's fabric collection looks in a few of my quilt patterns. 

These Island Batik fabrics have such a fun fall vibe--perfect for the season.

I used the full collection in my On the Go quilt--pairing the batiks with white helps the colors to really pop! 

Purchase the On the Go pattern here.

I'm a teal girl at heart, so I knew I wanted to use a limited color palette of mostly teals in one design. Here's Ribbon Weave, a wall hanging/table topper, in all its teal glory. 

Purchase the Ribbon Weave pattern here.

Swirls, anyone? The That's a Swirl applique quilt is packed with design appeal, and pairing the batiks with solid black enhances the contrast. This quilt is all about the cutting--the only piecing is sewing the blocks together. Fusible web does the rest. 

Purchase the That's a Swirl quilt pattern here.

When I first saw Tammy's Peacock Plumes fabric, I knew immediately that I wanted to audition them in my Frequency quilt pattern. I had so much fun, I couldn't decide which to share, so I'm showing them all to you!

Ribbon Weave Wreath + 25% Sale

When I first designed my Ribbon Weave quilt, I knew I wanted to make a Christmas version because it looks like a holiday wreath. This week, it happened! I love the crisp modern look these colors create and can't wait to hang it up. (And I couldn't resist cutting some holly from the bush outside our home!)

The Ribbon Weave pattern is on sale in my Etsy shop: 25%. Use code WREATH25.

I used Windham's Uncorked collection by Another Point of View in Candy Apple, Blue Spruce and Sea Glass. I love the texture and the metallic gold accents. For background, I chose a white tonal with a little texture of its own--Windham's Bedrock in White.

To quilt this wall hanging, I used one of the decorative stitches on my Janome, bumped up to the largest size possible. I really like the scalloped look. 

The Ribbon Weave pattern is on sale through 25% off through Monday, December 9th. Purchase the digital pattern here and use code WREATH25.

Everlasting Blog Tour - Ribbon Weave Quilt

When my friend Sharon Holland asked me to be part of her Everlasting Blog Tour promoting her Everlasting fabric collection from Art Gallery Fabrics, of course I said yes! 

I've known Sharon for seven years, and she's the reason I started designing quilts--she taught me how to create diagrams (and quilt designs) in Illustrator when we both worked for a quilting magazine. (So thank you again, Sharon, for teaching me those skills!). If you don't already, I highly recommend following Sharon on  Instagram. Everything she posts has an artist's touch. You can follow me, too, here.

Here are all of Sharon's Everlasting prints:

I've got a huge soft spot for all things teal, so I immediately gravitated toward the teal and blue prints in the collection. And those bluebirds! Here are the fabrics I chose to use.

I used the Everlasting prints to sew my Ribbon Weave pattern. The original design started with a Snail's Trail block, believe it or not! I love the overlapping woven look the navy and teal prints create, but I think my favorite part of this quilt is the skinny print border. 

This quilt measures 37" square--it's perfect for a wall hanging or a table topper. My boys happily drank those pink lemonades after I finished photographing this set up!

I really love the bluebird Summer's Dance print as the background in this quilt. The birds have a soft watercolor feel to them, and they're beautifully spaced across the fabric--it's so light and airy! 

But my favorite print is the small floral on navy, called Flower Keeper.These flowers, leaves and vines are so delicate! I used this print in the center of each block, for the outer border, and for the binding.

One more beauty shot!
