Last DAys of October

As I put my house back in order - after a busy month of sewing - 

I just have one more quilt to show you.

The fabrics are done in conjunction with Liberty Fabrics 

and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, England.

The prints are wonderful and would be beautiful to use in garments as well.

This is the back  of the quilt.

This is the front of the quilt.  

There are 2 color ways of each pattern

so I paired them us and interconnected them.

I think it makes a very lovely quick quilt!!

Time for a break from quilt making.  Many of my business contacts are still in Houston - unable to get back to NYC due to the damages done by

Hurricane Sandy.

Hopes and prayers to all - for their lives to return to normal.

Leo Says Happy Halloween!!

Newcastle Fabrics

I have been picked up by another fabric company to make quilt samples.

Sounds exciting, right?

This is a new company in the fabric business.  Imagine that!

This first quilt is from a fabric line called Fantasy.

It reminds me a lot of the Mary Englebriet lines of days past.

I did two sizes of half square triangles and the quilt is 66" x 66".

It was a little more ambitious than I should have attempted!

The next quilt is made from the fabric line "Little Lamb".

It is on the sweet side, as you might expect.

Side One is a simple strip pieced version with 5 of the fabrics.

Side Two is the very large panel in the collection.

The machine quilting is small hearts - professionally done by 

All About Quilting & Design.

The third quilt is from a fabric line called "Best Friends".

It is on the bright side and turned out so cute!

I thought of Hopscotch as soon as I saw the number block panel.

The giraffe just kind of came into play as I worked on this one.

His neck is pieced and the head is appliquéd on after the machine quilting,

again beautifully done circles by All About Quilting & Design.

It is about 72" long so it could also be a great grow chart!

Only one more post on the market quilts.

I am busy writing the pattern directions up.  UGH!!
