Fresh Quilts ~ Take Two

Never could I have imagined being in a magazine with one of my designs...I am happy to share with you my second feature!  

Fresh Quilts is a fabulous new magazine.  If you haven't seen this magazine yet, I highly recommend it!  From quilts, to pillows to coasters!  A little bit of everything for everyone! 

Here is the Fall/Winter Issue:

Amazing how different my pillows look in a beatifully staged setting!  I had a bit of a block when it came time to make something with fall colors.  It was barely Spring when I started and thinking of fall when all I wanted was summer...a little bit of a challenge!

My two beauties!

With all my talk lately about writing a quilt pattern, so far I have managed a few pillow patterns for the magazine.  It was still daunting...sometimes overwhelming.  I'm learning!

After figuring out a design, these were the first 'draft'.  I did change a few things after making these two.  Not much, but some!

A friend of mine and fellow Music City Modern Quilt Guild member Lindsay Conner ( Modern Bee , Lindsay Sews) is also featured in this issue!  She has some very cool coasters using solids!

A Design I'm Happy With!

I have been a little busy.  Maybe obsessed.  Perhaps I even have a bad case of tunnel vision!  Its not all bad.  Its not all good.  

Lately I have been working on two new pillow designs.  Trial and error!  It seems to have come together for me and I am satisfied with the finished designs.  

What do you think?

I love a good geometric design and a nice punch of color!  This works for me!

Hard to believe...I actually used a print!  I love Briar Rose!  I have a stack of it sitting all pretty on my shelf.  For months.  And months.  For some reason I haven't found the perfect project for this fabric, but was able to spare a few small pieces for this pillow. 

FYI:  I even did a little free motion quilting!  

Two peas in a pod.  Together at last. 

You may think I'm crazy, but to me these are fall colors!  My question to you is this:  What exactly are fall colors?!  

UPDATE:  Please enter my GIVEAWAY for a fabulous fat quarter bundle of Hand Dyed Fabric and a copy of Fresh Quilts Magazine!

Small Blog Meet

November is here...already!  It never really seems like I make progress on my ideas, want to do's and should get done projects.  Then I look back and see I did make progress!

It looks like I had a pillow month!  I got a couple quilts finished, learned some paper piecing and dyed tons of fabric!  I was more productive than I thought!

One goal for November.  Find and visit more blogs.  Leave more comments.  Sew, Quilt, Sew and Quilt!     

Lets see what November brings!
