Just received strike-offs for my new collection, Modern Lace, which is shipping in August!
I’m SOOOO excited about this collection. I know we aren’t supposed to have favorites, but if we could this would be the one! Modern Lace ships in August and shops can place orders from Blend Fabrics.
Have a lovely weekend and happy sewing!

I was so excited when I opened my mail yesterday and found my “Ornamental” table topper design in my Topiary line for Blend Fabrics in the July/August issue of Fons and Porter’s Love of Quilting! It is such a fun (and quick) design to sew and – guess what – they will be offerings a kit!!! (I don’t think it is up yet, but soon! Magazines will be on newsstands in mid-June.)
I used 28 wt. Aurifil thread for the appliqué and 50 wt. for the quilting.
On Friday I will show you some sneak peeks from my next line!
Happy sewing!

This weekend I took the opportunity to make my flying geese blocks for Step 4 of my Sundance quilt pattern, available exclusively through BERNINA dealers. This time I’m making it in my Topiary collection for Blend Fabrics. (Last year I made the original using my “Bonjour, Mon Ami” collection.)

I wanted to make something in a completely different color story this time. I and worked up three different options using Topiary. I ended up using the one with a pink border. SKU information for all three options, as well as the original option, can be found here, but the directions are only available though BERNINA.

I entered this quilt into Blogger’s Quilt Festival – make sure to stop by because there are some fabulous quilts over there to look at all the great entries! They are taking viewers choice nominations now and voting starts on the 24th.
Next month will be appliqué!
Happy sewing!
Amanda
