New Patterns!

Fall quilt market has come and gone and I'm just now getting a chance to post a few of my new patterns. I had a wonderful time in Houston and it was especially nice to meet and talk with those of you who came to my book signings. Quilters are such wonderful, friendly people and I'm so priviledged to be a part of this fantastic industry!

My first new pattern is called Berry Basket Welcome and I chose beautiful brown, red and tan prints from French General's new line for Moda called Maison de Garance. This is a fat quarter friendly pattern and can be easily made in a weekend.

If you love big, bold prints, The Big EZ II is perfect for you! It goes together with ease, and would be a great choice for even the beginning quilter. I chose fabrics from the "Definitions" line, by Faye Burgos for Marcus Fabrics.


Last, but certainly not least, is my newest block-of-the-month pattern designed for use with Strip-It. This is a 6-month BOM with a few twists. Each month, blocks or a border is made and added to the previous month, so that at the end of the sixth month, your quilt is completely finished! By using Strip-It for many of the blocks and rail fence border, your piecing time is cut in half! The name of this pattern is Chestnut & Vine, which is also the name of the fabric line by Faye Burgos for Marcus Fabrics.

I couldn't end this post without sending out a special "thank you" to Gregory Case, who came through for me in a pinch with beautiful photography and in record-breaking time! If you should ever need an expert in quilt photography, I would highly recommend Gregory Case Photography!!

Until next time. . . Vicki
