My quilts...

It's really amazing to see your quilts hanging in public. I have to pinch myself sometimes. A trunk show from my newest book Flowers All Around is currently hanging at Jackman's Fabrics. Pictures never quite do them justice ~ it's great to see them "in person".

I also got an email from Cheri in Victor, NY who just completed "My Secret Garden" in Gathered From the Garden. It's it beautiful? I love that she changed it around a little bit!

And her quilting is amazing!

Star Struck

A new pattern using my beloved "Bliss" fabric in red and aqua.

The design is really easy - there are no set ins - even though everyone will think you did!

Here's a Christmas version done by my friend Jean. The patterns are available from the Hickory Stick - (573) 221-4538

Hexagon Quilt

I originally saw this quilt in the April issue of "Quilt" magazine. Loved it - but when I got the issue home I found that it used templates and applique for the center hexagon. So I started sewing strips and cutting them up with my 60 degree ruler - not knowing what size it would be or what I would end up with!

Most of the fabric is Spa by Rosemarie Lavin. It does have that soft "spa" feel!

Progress...

I've divided my sewing time up this week to do a little machine quilting...

And a little piecing... (36 of 99 blocks done!){ I shouldn't have counted - I thought I was further along.}

And I'm on trend with the gray. The Oct. issue of Real Simple has a great article on decorating with gray.
