Pretty Petals

More Fantastical Designs By Sheri Howard It's the love of flowers, and the sketches they inspired, that grew into Sheri Howard’s Pretty Petals quilt. Pretty Petals is a collection of whimsical flowers drawn from fond memories and a colorful imagination. The colors were taken from a box of watercolors and that first 24-count box of crayons Sheri had in grade school. A delightful variation of "Pretty Petals" is the "Kaleidoscope" quilt. Sheri shows you how to take "Pretty Petals" blocks and turn them into a colorful kaleidoscope of flowers. The versatility of these floral designs is amazing! Then there's "Red Poppy Garden – a simple nine-block quilt with large appliqué pieces – something beginners will certainly appreciate. Accent pieces include the "Euro Pillow Sham," "Frilly Pillow Case," and "Red Throw Pillow." Sheri's signature style also adorns her musthave "Market Bag." Take some time and stroll through the imaginative garden of Sheri Howard's "Pretty Petals."

Meadow

By Blackbird Designs I just love toile and toile inspired fabrics. Meadow features a “toile” in these lovely colors. Wouldn’t one of them make the perfect focal point for your quilt? As tall grass heads wave in the breeze you begin to notice the wild flowers as they pepper the grassy field with dots of color. A sense of calm and beauty surround you. The small noises of chirping crickets and buzzing bees lets you know that this small field is alive with plant and insect diversity. Nature is always inspirational. We chose colors of the earth, sky, wildflowers and grass to bring the meadow into your home.

Memories of Christmas Past by Betsey Langford & Carolyn Nixon

Celebrate the holiday season with this festive sampler quilt dressed in the classic yuletide colors of red and green. Based on traditional designs, each of the 12 sampler blocks features a Nine-Patch twist. In Memories of Christmas Past, Quilt designers Betsey Langford and Carolyn Nixon also created a stunning central medallion of Poinsettia and Nine-Patch blocks. As you make the feature quilt, travel back to a simpler time with Carolyn’s childhood memories of growing up in the Ozarks in the 1950s. Her 12 journal entries capture the joy of simple pleasures and handmade comforts. Searching for a creative holiday gift idea? Let Betsey and Carolyn ignite your imagination with their six smaller companion projects – a memories journal, a framed quilt block, a throw pillow, a star-studded table runner, a quick and easy quilt throw, and a dazzling embroidered snowflake design .
