Free BERNINA Rulerwork Zippered Bag pattern and a sneak peek of Folk Art Fantasy!

Posted on by

Hi guys! A few things:

  1. I wanted to let you know that recently I designed a free pattern for BERNINA for a Zippered Rulerwork Bag at is now live, so hop on over to BERNINA and get the PDF directions and see the videos!
  2. Also, below is a sneak peek of my new collection debuting for Spring Market, Folk Art Fantasy for Contempo Studios of Benartex.  Yes, it coordinates with Sewing Room and I hope you love it!  I am having so much fun sewing patterns with these fabrics right now – I can’t wait to show you!  For a sneak peek of my FAVORITE print in the entire collection please join my Facebook Group!

  3. I’m excited to announce that I’ll be teaching a five day class again at Empty Spools Seminars in Asilomar, CA in 2018 and I can’t wait!  This is a beautiful retreat that is really unique – 5 days of intense study in small groups – amazing!  I’ve designed a new modern sampler especially for this event incorporating a bunch of different techniques.  More information can be found on the Empty Spools website so, if you are free March 18th-23rd of 2018, please join us!

  4. While at QuiltCon I had a chance to sit down with Stephanie of Sit & Sew Radio, so if you are interested, hop on over to her site to listen!
  5. Finally, Nordic Holiday fabric and patterns are now shipping to shops!  If you don’t have a local shop, you can find the patterns here.

I hope you have a lovely weekend – happy quilting!

Pattern testing, Aurifil Block-of-the-Month, and QuiltCon!

Posted on by

Hi everyone!

Hope you are having  fabulous week!

It is true – I’m leaving shortly for QuiltCon in Savannah and hope to meet some of you I haven’t met before there!  Please stop by the BERNINA booth (#201-205), hosted by the Augusta Sewing Center, and say “hi”.  I’ll be demoing the BERNINA Q24 and Q20 on Friday and Saturday – so excited!

For those of you that might have missed it, the second month of Aurifil’s Block-of-the-Month pattern is now on their blog.  I had such fun piecing “Dutch Treat” by Maureen Cracknell.

“Dutch Treat” in Nordic Holiday for Contempo. (Shipping in April!)

I’ve been doing a ton of teaching lately, but I did finally find time to sew and proof the remaining Nordic Holiday patterns.  (I post most of my open teaching events over in my Facebook group, along with quilting tutorials, etc. so please join if you haven’t already.) They are off to the printer today so should ship in about a week!

The current state of my floor… and Nordic Row Sampler.  All rows done so almost there!  Pieced with Aurifil 50 wt. on my BERNINA 780.
Starry Night… waiting for quilting. I’m thinking a feather border – do you agree?

Thanks for your patience on these – there was a delay in the fabric shipping for this collection which in turn delayed the patterns.  The good news is the next collection and pattern grouping will be right on time – I just can’t show it yet! Soon though – Spring Market is right around the corner and I’ll show some sneak peeks in my Facebook group before then. ( It coordinates with both Nordic Holiday and Sewing Room!)

Happy quilting!

Amanda
