First Market pattern quilts finished!

All but one of my pattern cover quilts is finished. I just got them back from my quilter Jo Lynn O'Neil and would like to share them with you.

They are all made with future groups of fabric from Moda Fabrics.

Please check with your local quilt shops to see if they will have these fabrics and carry my patterns.

The first pattern is called Post & Beam. It is made with 8 fat quarters. It is great for the big bold prints but is also good for flannels.

The flannels used here are Timber Creek Flannels by Holly Taylor.

This one is made with Tranquility fabric designed by Sandy Gervais.

This one is also made with Tranquility fabric but it is scrappy and uses the panel that is part of the line.

This pattern is called Radiant Star made with my No Diamonds/No "Y" Seams technique. The front cover quilt is a large lap quilt made with

Tradition Fabric by Howard Marcus. The proceeds from this fabric will go to UNICEF.

The quilt on the back cover is a wall, baby, table topper made with Love Is In The Air by Deb Strain.

The last pattern is called Shooting Stars. There are twin, queen and king size quilts included. The cover quilt is a queen made with Heritage by Howard Marcus.

The back cover is a king made with Peace On Earth which is now in quilt shops.

Quilt shop owners please email me if you need more information on these patterns or the fabrics used. The patterns will be available soon.

Here are some of the pictures from the Memories / Chick N' Stars class in Benton, Arkansas.

Great group of ladies!

It is still very hot in Texas but I have been working with the softest flannel you could imagine. The following picture is of my new for market pattern called Post & Beam. It is made with fabric from Moda Fabrics that will ship to your local quilt shops in November 2008. The line is called Timber Creek Flannels designed by Holly Taylor. The designs in the line will be great for a masculine quilt or anyone who loves the outdoors. The Post & Beam pattern is the perfect pattern to showcase the prints with it's large pieces. This is also what makes it great for flannel.

August 1! Can you believe it? It is definitely summer in Texas. We have had 100º + weather for days. 

I have been working on new patterns to present at Fall Wholesale Quilt Market in Houston. So far I have three.

The first one is called Post & Beam. It is a great component made lap quilt.

The center is one component done in four fabric combinations using 8 Fat Quarters. With two borders it makes a 60” X 60” quilt.

The fabrics I have been working with are new lines from Moda Fabrics  that will be coming to your local quilt shop this fall.

This example is made with “Tranquility” by Sandy Gervais.  It will ship in November.

 

There is a great panel in this line that I cut up to make sections for a scrappy version of the quilt.

The birds just make me happy.  

I am still working on border selections for these. Don't you just love this fabric? 

 I cut the tiny birds to make the centers of the blocks.

Check back tomorrow to see a very manly version for the guy in your life. Hint: it is flannel.

Be sure to check the website Calico Carriage Quilt Designs for all the patterns and books. We have a section called Specials that has some great deals in it.
