Perkins Dry Goods

I would love to feature quilts made from Perkins Dry Goods patterns in a Virtual Quilt Show on my website in the Gallery. Carol Miller from Quilt University suggested this as a great way for people to see lots of options and colorways made from one design. I think she is brilliant! BUT I need your quilt pictures!!

If you are interested in having me post a project that you made from one of my patterns, click here for more information.

I’ve got patterns! The printer moved quickly for me and the new pattern ~ Starlight ~ is now available on the website (click here to go to the patterns).  I just love this Urban Indigo line from Moda.  I’ve got Dandelion Girl fat quarters calling my name too.  Hmmmm.

The patterns will be available soon through my distributors for quiltshops.  It may take a few weeks for all of the inventory to get where it needs to go.

I also spent Monday in Amery, Wisconsin with the Apple River Quilt Guild.  We had a class using my Sweet Pea pattern and then a trunk show in the evening.  Another great group!

You know you’re going to have good day when the kids all get up on time and are out the door without a hitch.  I love those days!  With three teens in my house, “good morning” is often a question rather than a greeting!

An even better sign is getting an email first thing (after the darlings have gone) from a new friend with show and tell.  Janet, the Idaho Quilter made up one of my new patterns - Three for Tea -  in the cutest new line from Fig Tree - Dandelion Girl.  I just love it!  She even scalloped the corners just like the pattern.

Speaking of scallops, they are one of my all time favorite things to do with borders.  Lots of people are afraid of them, but they really aren’t that bad!  The best part is the bias binding.  I know you’re reading this thinking “she’s nuts!”  If you read Janet’s blog about the binding, she even says it just rolls into place.

If you want just a little project to try out the scalloping biz and bias binding, I have a free pattern at my website for a little checkerboard topper.  Let me know what you think!
