I have never seen so many gorgeous quilts on one web page – I can’t wait to see the book! Brenda Henning’s new book “The Rest Is Easy” uses her Triangulations CD (although you can make the quilts with traditional methods) to create the quilts in her book. They are all traffic stoppers. Here is Christmas Cactus from The Rest Is Easy.
Check out Bear Paw Productions for all of Brenda’s lovely creations.
Elisa Wilson of Elisa’s Backporch announces her newest pattern Spooling Around. A spool quilt with curves – how cool is that? Check out her other patterns and books too.
From Deanne Eisenman of Snuggles Quilts:
The current line of patterns I debuted at this year’s market include many that utilize jelly roll strips and 5” charms. They are quick and easy projects that will appeal to many quilters. They include seasonal, holiday and everyday designs to choose from. Among the patterns are two lap quilt patterns that use jelly roll strips and some additional fabric to create unique quilts. Many of my patterns have instructions for more than one project …(and)…will be popular with the shop owner who is looking for unique but easy projects for their customers.
After looking her website over and knowing her credentials (in the pattern business for 5 years, published in several magazines and has a book coming out from Martingale & Co in August of this year) I must say that she’s put together a nice collection. Shown here is her “Spinning Stars“.
From Christiane Struck:
“I just want to announce that a fourth pattern of my German quilt pattern line “Blickfangquilts” has been translated into English and can be ordered and downloaded directly via Paypal. Here is “Higgledy Piggledy” from my online shop. More English versions of my patterns will be released in autumn.”
I really like reading Christiane’s blog and looking at her photos and projects. That she writes her blog in two languages never fails to impress me!
I’ve always been partial to Jodi Barrows’ Square In a Square techniques. She puts on a good show at Quilt Market and now she puts on a good show right on her website. It looks like she’s figured out “patchwork perfection” and made it easy with her new Crosscut Rulers. Check out her video demonstration of the rulers, her new line of fabric, and her new book “Moving On With Diamonds”.
From Bananafana:
This quilt will definitely satisfy a ric rac addiction! There are so many fun details on this quilt including ways to use ric rac that you may have never thought of before! Mix it up, change the colors, have fun!
Be sure to check out her other patterns as well, she has some cutie pie clothes for little girls!
They’ve done it again! Lizzy and Cherri House of Cherry House Quilts present two new patterns: City Park and Cherry Fizz. Very pretty!
Kathy Mack of Pink Chalk Studio announces her newest pattern “Mail Sack”. Modern, hands-free styling defines the Mail Sack, a roomy cross-body bag ready for adventure. Two interior pockets (one zippered and the other divided) keep essentials like cell phone, sunglasses, and keys within easy reach. Pattern includes full-sized pattern sheet and instruction booklet for sacks in two sizes.
One of my favorite companies and my daughter’s favorite quilt paterns: Bella Nonna Designs. My daughter loves the petal quilts and I love the bold and exciting patterns like the Boondoggle Starter Kit. Here’s their Log Cabin Polka Quilt from their patterns page.
A friend tipped me off to these patterns and she is right – they are cute! Take a look at all they offer – I am using this spool quilt as an example but there is so much variety that it’s worth a peek….Country Lore Designs. From their site:
“Our Pattern Style is a gentle, whimsy folkart-country look”
sums up their style nicely.
