We had a lovely trip to the beach this past week. While I wasn’t able to bring my sewing machine, I did finish binding my Ambrosia quilt for the complimentary pattern that I am producing for quilt shops in conjunction with Robert Kaufman. (More on that soon…) I also “dyed” some Ambrosia eggs in scraps. Yes, I know I am very late for Easter but I will just be amazingly prepared for next year!

I had brought 16 eggs but one piece of fabric flew off the porch with a sudden gust of wind. So now we have 15 Ambrosia eggs. Save your scraps for spring and “dye” some eggs using this free pattern!

I just finished sewing two version of my Yo-Yo Pillow in Ambrosia. Here is the Summer version:

And here is the Spring version:

Adding some decorative buttons can make your pillow’s back just a pretty as its front! Here are some detailed shots:

You can download the pattern here. Ask your local quilt shop to order Ambrosia by Robert Kaufman (it is shipping October 1st) or use scraps from your stash.

Special thanks goes to my model/assistant/daughter made all the yo-yos and kept me sane when I couldn’t find the phone in the chaos!

Special thanks also goes to my other assistant/son who made these Ambrosia paper-airplanes for me.

I would like to point out that it is not every fabric designer who gets personalized paper airplanes made for their collections.  I am a lucky lady.

My complimentary Ambrosia photo album pattern is now available so stop in at Target and snatch up those brightly colored linen 9″ x 7″ albums for the bargain price of $7 each. (You can also use other albums or scrapbooks with a similar size – I explain how to adjust for this in the pattern.) You can use either Ambrosia Fat Quarter Bundles or Ambrosia fabric scraps to complete the quilted cover.

Ask your local quilt shop to order Ambrosia by Robert Kaufman; it will be shipping to stores October 1st!

Thanks!
