New Fabric Kit and FREE Pattern



Under The Sea Panel Quilt-Free Pattern

Under The Sea Panel

We have finished a free pattern to go along with our new "Under The Sea" fabric. This is the first chance I have had to sew with our new fabric and it made me sooooo happy.

I don't know why bright fabrics make me so happy, but when I work with bright fabric it is like going on a mini vacation.

Here are the two main panels in the group. We also have scales, bubbles, stripes and several tossed character prints as well. Click here to see the Under The Sea Fabrics.

We are also offering a fabric kit to go along with the free pattern which includes the pattern and fabrics for the quilt top and binding as shown here.   Click here to order the fabric kit.

Well until next time......

Fall is on its way!


Fall is right around the corner. Here in AZ, kids are starting back to school this week and believe it or not pre-season football started yesterday! this means Fall is coming and with (hopefully) cooler weather for us. I have been busy this summer planning up all kinds of fun and easy projects for the months to come and our first new pattern and fabric kit is "Harvest Leaves Wreath" shown here.

Busy couple of weeks at Mulqueens





Mulqueen's Sewing Center is a local business that has carried my patterns for several years now. Every July, they do Christmas in July all month long. This year I did a trunk show, demos and Make & Takes for them. Last week where we unveiled our newest pattern and fabric kit, Harvest Leaves Wreath , which I am holding in the photo above and I did demos on using our Binding Ruler  and Value Tool

I had a nice turn out of people and the last visitor of the day brought me her quilt finished using our One Lump or Two pattern . It was so exciting to see it all finished along with the lovely young lady she made it for.




 This week I spent Thursday doing Make & Take Gift Tag labels at Mulqueens that I designed especially for these classes. I had so much fun with this that I will be adding the free pattern for these guys to our website soon. So stay tune......

Until next time.....

Happy Go Lucky




I have been going through some of the projects I have done over the years and want share some of them with you. These are older patterns and the fabrics are no longer available, but most of the would look great out other fabrics! So here is the first one..

Happy Go Lucky was designed for P&B Textiles several years ago using this stunning red/black/white collection. The quilt is pretty simple to make and though it is hard to see in this small photo, I cut the blocks with a wavy edge to add more interest to the design. 

The tote bag is so quick and easy to make, that I have made several of these to use for just about anything. I did't put batting in the bag, making it ideal to fold up and throw in my luggage for an extra tote on my many trips. 

The pattern also includes easy instructions to assemble the flower! These can become addicting to make so just remember I warned you about them. 

Enjoy and happy quilting!

Until next time.....

These lovely boxes arrived yesterday and finally.............



Our newest line of fabric "Under The Sea" has arrived. This is my first line since 2009 and I am very excited to get back to designing fabric again. We will get these posted on our website, so you can have some too!

We have lots of projects already in the works using this group. So keep an eye out for them!

In case you were wondering about the inspiration behind the group. Here is one of our three very popular patterns we have done over the years. One Fish, Two Fish.... The pattern and fabric kits are a staple on our website!

New Fabric Line

Hello Everyone
It has been a very busy Fall. We designed and made tons of projects for Fall Market, make sure to check out some of these fabric company's website to see some of the free patterns we did.
Timeless Treasure, Marcus Fabrics, Studio E, Henry Glass, Red Rooster, P&B Textiles and David Textiles.

I have also been to Atlanta, Tucson, Houston and New York since my last post and finally as the holiday season arrives, things are starting to calm down.
I am very excited to announce I have been working with Fabri-Quilt on our next line of fabric. It has been 3 years since my last line and it took teaming up with my partner and husband to get this group completed. Here is a sneak peak of our "Under The Sea" fabric.

This is one of the panels included in the group. It is based on our ever popular "Under The Sea" applique pattern. I have added some new friends to the fish. I think my favorite is the Octopus. Let me know which one is your favorite in the comments below.

I will post new pieces and the quilts we designed from it in the future. I am also excited to be working on two new collections for Fabri-Quilt and will share them with you once they are out of my head and onto paper.

Hope everyone is safe and well.
Until next time......
Heidi
