We have some winners from the Quiltmaker 100 blocks vol 9 blog Tour...
Wendy and Annmarie
I have sent you both an e-mail so check for it so we can send you your prizes!
Thank you for all of your comments, it was so fun to see your favorite colors you love working with these days. A lot of the same ones that I am in love with right now!
Here are the 4 new patterns that are at the printer right now and will be showing at Quilt Market next week. Time has just flewn by lately so I was so relieved to get these submitted and on their way. I hope you like them.
Strip Burst is a new strip pattern that is made with 2-1/2" strips plus some background fabric and border fabric (or use one for both) I have been teaching this quilt all over the world this past month....Iceland, Canada and USA count as all over the world right:) If you follow GE Designs on Facebook, you might have spotted some of these blocks from my classes. You will need a 60 degree ruler for this quilt but it goes together really simply.
Strip Cocoon is done with 2-1/2" strips only so you can grab a couple of Jelly Rolls or dig into your strip bins and go! The block is fun to put together, using a partial seam method. The quilt comes in 4 sizes. The fabric used on the cover is Elementary by Sweetwater for Moda.
Curvacious is a Quilt as you go Table Runner that was in our first Fast & Furious book. That book is out of print now but we have gotten overwhelming requests for the pattern as it is being used in classes in so many quilt shops. That is why this was the first one I thought of to reissue as a single pattern. The runner on the left is made with my new fabric line coming out real soon, called Victory. More details on that later...
The Strip to the Beach bag was also in that Fast & Furious book and has been requested many times so here it is in a single pattern. I decided to include a simpler and smaller version of the bag in the same pattern as a little bonus. Both are made with the new fabric.
The patterns will be available at Quilt Market in Pittsburgh next week and will ship to stores right after.
I hope you like them:)
Just love all the new patterns. Used to think of quilts as a part of my past that I missed out on. Now I am trying to figure out how children today will learn to save this art as sewing is no longer taught in school and so many young people think of it as a waist of time.
