Hello Spring

Today is my day to introduce to you my new spring line,  Hello Spring.

It is the second line in my Seasons Series. 

The panel in each of the 4 lines spells out the season.

The panel comes with a cream background,

or pink background.

This will be a free pattern on the Riley Blake Designs website.

We simply cut the panel apart and added borders for a quick table runner.

We took the leftover blocks from the panel and made this table mat. 

This will also be a free pattern on the Riley Blake Designs website.

I designed 4 patterns featuring this line of fabric.

#774 Hello Spring

A block-of-the-month pattern

#777 Peeps

This pattern uses two 5" stackers.

#775 Rest Stop

#776

Windfarm

This is a Fat Quarter Friendly pattern

 Adel in Summer

Today is my day to introduce to you Adel in Summer. It is the last and final line of the Adel Series. If you are unfamiliar with the series, it is based on my Grammie and her practice of using a fruit jar for a vase. I did a line for each of the seasons with the panel featuring flowers in a fruit jar.

Zinnias appear in the Summer fruit jar.

I have designed 4 patterns featuring this fabric.

#778 Summer at Grammies

Every summer I would spend some time at my Grammie's house.

This block of the Month quilt features all the images engraved in my memory from those visits.

The garden was growing, chickens were running free, can goods were being put up for the winter and the zinnias were blooming.

#779 In a Fruit Jar-Summer

This time instead of featuring flowers in a fruit jar in the runner pattern, I decided to feature can goods as summer was all about canning fruits, vegetables, jams, and jellies to have ready for the long Minnesota winters.

A 5" stacker is used for the checkerboard border.

This pattern will be offered as a kit by Riley Blake Designs.

The kit comes in a cute little fruit jar-shaped kit box.

#780 On the Run

This pattern features chickens running through the zinnias.

A 5" stacker is used for the checkerboard border.

#781 Twist and Turn

This is a Fat Quarter Friendly pattern.

Hush Hush 2 Ornament Challenge

 Hello,

Today is my day to share my ornament featuring Riley Blake Designs Hush Hush Two low-volume fabric line. 

Twenty-one Riley Blake Designs designers each created a print for this line.

My print has been named Tiny Town and is another version of one of my favorite motifs - houses.

The challenge put before us by Riley Blake Designs was to design a Christmas Ornament that would fit in a 3" embroidery hoop using multiple fabrics from the line. 

For my ornament, I decided to make a wreath with bead berries.

I was sad that I could only use 5 different fabrics in my project. Yikes! Three inches is tiny!

  I solved that problem by making a table mat using 

 the wreath blocks along with pieced spacer blocks.

By doing this, I could use all 21 prints in the line!

You can find the instructions for the ornament and the table mat here.

I hope you enjoy making these projects. 

Christopher Thomas of The Tattooed Quilter is also showing his ornament today.

Check it out here

Please post your pictures using the Hush Hush 2 line of fabric use #hushush2fabric

Happy making!

 Awesome Autumn

Today is my day to introduce my new fall line Awesome Autumn. This will be one of four lines in a series.

There will be a line for each season. Spring will be next followed by Winter and Summer.

The panel comes in this cream background.

And also this dark brown version which happens to be my favorite.

There will be a  free pattern using this panel on the Riley Blake Designs site.

The free pattern features two projects, this runner

and this mat - both are a free pattern!

I have designed 4 patterns using this line of fabric.

This pattern will be offered as a kit from Riley Blake Designs.

I love their kit boxes. They are fun to set on display shelves

The corn runner from this pattern is offered as a Riley Blake Designs kit.

If you would like to see all of the prints in this line check out the storyboard.

Bumble and Bear

It is my day to show my new upcoming baby/kids line Bumble and Bear by Riley Blake Designs.

Bumble and Bear are the best of friends and are practically inseparable. 

Wherever there is Bear, there is Bumble.

The images in this line we first painted out on paper. Then the images were cut out and machine stitched to a background piece of paper. This gives the images a dimensional look.

The panel features preprinted bibs and burp cloths.

One can never have enough bibs and burp cloths. 

Using this preprinted panel you can make 4 bibs and 2 burp cloths in a snap. Easy Peasy.

If you need more bibs than what is on the panel, there are plenty of cute prints in the line to choose from. (use the preprinted bibs/burp cloth for a pattern)

You can see all of the prints in this line on this storyboard.

I have designed 4 patterns using this line of fabric.

The fabric and patterns will be shipping this coming November.

If you would like to hear more about this line you can watch my video here.
