Garden Path Pillow

Often I have many projects in the works. Ones I make to share, patterns I have for sale, projects for a booth display, and designs slated for a magazine. It's the magazine features that kill me because I have to keep them a secret until they are published. It's alway exciting when an issue comes out with my project in it so I can finally share it with you! 

The April/May 2016 issue of McCall's Quick Quilts is now on the newsstands and features my Garden Path pillow.

This modern pillow design is made using my Sketchbook fabrics and Art Gallery Fabrics Pure Elements. Perfect for adding a fresh new look to your home (or patio) the Garden Path pillow will be a fun addition to your home. 

The staff at McCall's liked this pillow design so much they put together a free Garden Path Baby Quilt for you. Find the free pattern here.

What a cute idea, right?!? This makes a perfect, uni-sex baby quilt and has nice open space to show off some pretty quilting. 

I am affiliated with FW Media Craft of Quilting and you may be interested to find kits for several of the projects I have had featured in McCall's and other FW Media magazines like Calliope featured in Modern Patchwork Winter 2016 issue which is also made from Sketchbook fabrics and Art Gallery Fabrics Pure Elements and blenders.

What I do for a living is a lot of fun but is also a constant reminder that I must be patient. Many hours of work goes on behind the scenes that I cannot blog about or share on social media. That's because I am either designing a new fabric collection to be released in 4-6 months or sewing up a new quilt or accessory pattern for sale or one that will be featured in a magazine. Well, my months of preparation and wait are over and the magazine projects will now start rolling in. First up is my Demilune quilt made with Gossamer fabrics, Pure Elements, and Squared Elements from Art Gallery Fabrics. McCall's Quick Quilts October/November 2015 issue hit the newsstands this week and that's where you will find instructions for making this quilt. They even have digital versions of the magazines available here.

Today I am guest blogging on the McCall's Quilting blog! You'll want to take a look at the cute pot holder/hot pad tutorial I put together using a template from the Demilune quilt and left-over fabrics. It's super easy to make and fun to use or give as a gift.
