46 Gorgeous Quilts ... And Some Updates

Hi everyone!


It has been a while since I've had a minute to put fingers-to-keyboard to get you all some updates. What a busy time it has been! I've had lots of gorgeous quilts to work on. Stay tuned for pics coming to Instagram on those! I was also able to visit some truly gorgeous quilts at the Long Beach Quilt Festival earlier this month. You can see those pics online over on Aacia Quilt Guild's site and marvel at the beautiful quilts if you weren't able to make it to the show in person. There were hundreds. I snagged pics of 46 that particularly made my jaw drop. The one below is a real favorite. This quilt is called Beauty Is In The Blues, by Andrea Brokenshire from Round Rock, TX. It's turned-edge applique that is machine appliqued and quilted, hand-painted, and thread painted, and it utilizes a confetti background. I really want to make a confetti background quilt now. So inspiring!



Edge-to-Edge Quilting Updates

There are dozens of new patterns available on the website! I've meant to get to this for a little while now, and I finally got to it. There are some gorgeous patterns. Check them out below! Remember that all edge-to-edge designs can be scaled up and down, so just because it looks dense or open in the image, it doesn't necessarily mean it has to look that way on your quilt. With this addition, there are now over 500 (!) patterns for you to choose from. If that seems like a lot ... don't worry, quilt consults are still completely free, and we will find the perfect pattern for your quilt together!
