Lavender Marmalade

I am thrilled to share that my quilt plus the pattern for Lavender Marmalade will be featured QuiltCon magazine! Physical copies of the magazine will be available at QuiltCon. Digital copies are available now! Grab yourself a copy and use the discount code QC2650% for 50% off!

Lavender Marmalade is a throw size quilt which finishes 50" x 50". I quilted it on my domestic machine - resulting in lots of threads needed to be buried. The quilt was created as part of QuiltCon's diamond challenge. 

I am honored to have my quilt accepted into the show and featured in the magazine!

Have a wonderful day! Patty

Quilted Vest

As a holiday gift for my youngest, I made them a vest! They chose the fabric - Moda Bluebird's Nest - and requested a blue lining fabric. The vest used two charm packs and then yardage purchased for binding and lining. Quilters Dream Request batting was used to keep the vest from being too thick. Quilting was a diagonal 2" grid.

I used a pretty blue solid for the lining and covered the seams with bias binding. This technique makes the vest reversible.

The pattern came from tracing a 'vintage' vest that I've owned for at least 20 years. It was a fun make and I can see myself making another.

Have a wonderful day! Patty

New Kindle Case

Treated myself to a new Kindle over the holidays. (I had my previous one over ten years - it was well used and ready for retirement!) The new Kindle is a bit larger - and way faster - than my previous one so I spent about an hour creating a new case.

I think I spent more time choosing the fabric than actually assembling! 

Have a wonderful day! Patty
