I’ve been awash with prepping some super-exciting educational new products for you all in the wake of BERNINA University. You’ll see a lot of new things in the next couple of months (including new fabric, a new quilt-as-you-go block of the month featuring my Meadow Dance line, and a new ruler panel – this time featuring Westalee rulers), but before we go there I wanted to introduce:
This collection is drawn out in a similar manner to the way I teach free-motioning feathers, so it works beautifully both on its own in conjunction with your own free-motion designs.
Note: This giveaway is now over. Congratulations to Judy Henly here and to Robyn Randolph Christie over in my Facebook Group! I wish I had a bundle to give everyone but it will be in stores in July so there isn’t long to wait. Patterns will be posted in mid-June.
Hi everyone!
It is now past Spring Market and I can finally show my new collection for Contempo Studios of Benartex – “Folk Art Fantasy”!
This modern collection celebrates the exuberance of and beauty of handmade things. It is happy and colorful – just the way quilting should be! It ships in July and patterns will ship even sooner. (And it coordinates with Sewing Room, which came out last year.)
Without further ado, here are the new patterns…
All quilts were pieced on a BERNINA 7-Series and quilted on the BERNINA Q24 using Aurifil thread, of course!
The patterns will start to ship to shops next week and will be posted to my website mid-June to accommodate my teaching schedule.
If you love what you see, please ask your local shop to order Folk Art Fantasy from Benartex!
