A Couple FROLIC Quilts From Quilt Market
I sat out Quilt Market this time around, but FROLIC was there in full force in the Michael Miller Fabrics booth. In preparation I made four quilts, two of which I am sharing with you today (and yes, you have access to the free instructions for both). The first is a baby quilt. Happy, young […]

Back to School Quilt for Janome
Earlier this sumer I was asked to contribute a project to the 2015 Janome Institute gathering. The theme was Fall. I could’t get my mind beyond the obvious coloured leaves and pumpkins, which I wasn’t terribly inspired by. I pondered what Fall brings and landed on “back to school”. As last year I had created […]

A Forest Quilt by Patty Sloniger
My fellow Michael Miller designer, Patty Sloniger designs beautiful fabric. She also designs beautiful quilts. She made a lovely tree forest quilt with Festive Forest that I love for its graphic nature. Her balance of colours throughout is just right and her free motion quilting is something for me to aspire to. Patty did a […]

It really shows off the fabrics beautifully, looking like bright, clean windows […]
