A new project

You've seen all the beautiful hand dyed fabrics that I've been buying from Vicki.  Well, I'm actually starting to use some.  I've decided to use one of the gradients as a background, and some of the other fat quarters pulled from three of her palettes.  I have drawn a pattern for a nice, simple Autumn inspired wall quilt. I'm not going to share the pattern just yet,because Vicki and I have decided to collaborate....her beautiful fabrics and my designs. In the not too distant future we will have kits available.

I will show you the fabrics though. You can 'click' on the photo to enlarge it.

Now don't those remind you of autumn?

And of course an autumn quilt needs a harvest moon, don't you think?  I do!  So I set about making my 'fabric' for my moon using Lutradur and Angelina fibers.  It's perfect!

If you're not familiar with Lutradur and Angelina, or would just like to see how it turned out visit my website. I put together a quick tutorial on how I made the moon 'fabric'.

While you're there, check out the free EQ6 design files I posted.

  1. Very pretty palette! With fall colors, I'm always surprised at how many reds, maroons, and purples there are! (At least in IL there are!) And grays... I love fall quilts with those warm colors. Can't wait to see yours finished!
