Beribboned!

Posted on Leave a comment

Hot on the heels of Bedazzled, is her sister Beribboned!


This is another interlocking design, which features two fabrics that cascade down the quilt top like interlocking ribbons.  (If you follow the pressing directions, all seams lock, which makes it really simple to put together.)  It uses only 2 blocks and they are simple!

This time I used a white background with 3 Kona Brights charm packs, but you could use prints too!  Oh – please send pictures!

As always, Deborah Norris did a fantastic job with the quilting…

Look how she used both ribbon colors in the quilting so the green pops on the pink and vice versa!



Looking down the ribboned rows…



I really love the litttle echoed feathers that curve around themselves in the background.  Really, really love them.  Thanks, Deborah!

Beribboned measures 74″ x 94″ will be available to ship in mid-November.  Here is what you need to make her:

  • Semicircles – 96 (4”) squares (3 Kona® Bright Charm Packs)
  • Background – 3-3/4 yards (Kona® 1387 White)
  • Ribbons Color A – 1-1/4 yards (Kona® 199 Cactus)
  • Ribbons Color B – 1-1/4 yards (Kona® 1062 Candy Pink)
  • Inner Border – 1/2 yard (Kona® 1295 Pomegranate)
  • Middle Border – 3/4 yard (Kona® 23 Lemon)
  • Outer Border – 1-3/8 yard (Kona® 199 Cactus)
  • Binding – 3/4 yard for straight grain binding or 1-1/8 yard for bias binding (Kona® 199 Cactus)

  • Tear-Away Stabilizer – 3 yards (Sulky® Tear-Easy Stabilizer)
  • Appliqué Thread – 30 wt. Sulky® cotton appliqué thread

Next up… “Bejeweled”.  Think yo-yos.  Lot and lots of yo-yos.  A really good quilt to travel with.
But, before then we have another Quilters Newletter giveaway so I’ll be back tomorrow!

Happy sewing!

Introducing Bedazzled…

Posted on 16 Comments

I won’t be going to Quilt Market, but will be unveiling 8 new patterns here and through distributors.  Four are reprints of my most popular magazine patterns and 4 are brand new!

I’ve been experimenting with quilt designs that make use of simple blocks set in different ways – where the divisions between blocks aren’t always obvious.  This is definitely the case in the first of my new patterns.  It is called “Bedazzled”, and its interlocking pattern is made from just one block!

Here are some close-ups….

Isn’t Deborah Norris’s quilting just beautiful?

Even better, those semicircles are charm pack friendly!  I used 2 Kona Pastels charm packs, but you could use your favorite prints too!

Bedazzled is 62″ x 86″ and will be ready to ship by mid-November.  For those who like to plan ahead, it requires:
Semicircles – 48 (5”) squares (2 Kona® Pastel Charm Packs)

Background – 2-1/2 yards (Kona® 1003 Amethyst)
Chains Color A – 1 yard (Kona® 1191 Lilac)
Chains Color B – 1 yard (Kona® 199 Cactus)
Inner Border – 3/4 yard (Kona® 1387 White)
Middle Border – 1/2 yard (Kona® 1189 Lavender)
Outer Border – 1-1/4 yard (Kona® 199 Cactus)
Binding – 3/4 yard for straight grain binding or 1-1/8 yard for bias binding (Kona® 199 Cactus)
Backing – 5-1/2 yards (Kona® 1189 Lavender)
Fusible Web – 2-3/4 yards (24” Warm Company® Steam-A-Seam 2)
Tear-Away Stabilizer – 2-3/4 yards (Sulky® Tear-Easy Stabilizer)
Appliqué Thread – 30 wt. Sulky® cotton appliqué thread
Happy sewing!
