My grandma, MaryEllen, is the one who got both my Mom and I into quilting. She is one of the biggest supporters of Sassafras Lane and a constant inspiration. She tests our patterns for us and always comes up uniquely amazing color combinations and quilts.

Hello little lion! One of our family traditions is to make all our family and friends a baby quilt to welcome their new ones into the world. My Mom made this Zoey's Zoo quilt for our family friend's new baby girl, Rowan!

One of the fun parts of designing quilt patterns is mocking them up in lots of different options! Timeless Treasures send their new lines out to designers to get a few quilt mockups made. It is a great way to get an idea of how the fabric looks in use!

The second best part of my business partner / Mom being a longarm quilter, is that she gets Sassafras Lane quilts in her queue from time to time! (The best part being I have my own personal longarm quilter =] ) She recently sent me photos of this gorgeous Atlantic Avenue quilt made by the talented Gitte Hopkins.

Not too long ago, Nichole from Robert Kaufman Fabrics asked me if I was interested in mocking up some of our quilt patterns in their fabrics. The answer was an astounding yes! So far we have mocked up our Euclid Avenue and Shivaun Place quilt patterns. We love how these turned out, so we thought we should share them!

It is no secret that we have quite the batik stash. So, when we made a second Euclid Avenue quilt to test the pattern, we dove into our stack of batiks. We chose similar colors to the cover quilt, but rearranged the placement to show how different the quilt can look!

We are big batik fans in this household. Rich color, minimum raveling, gorgeous texture. Oh la la! I could go all day. Hoffman Fabrics graciously sent us a Splash Bali Pop and some matching yardage to make a Cooper Carry-All for our booth at Quilt Market in Houston.
