Andover Mini Quilts
You all know that we have caught the mini quilt fever that has been going around for the last few years! These minis are almost a year old - I am working on this timely blogging thing still! But, hey, better late then never. Andover sent us a cultivated bundle of beautiful warm Alison Glass and Lizzy House fabrics. We then created these two minis!
Baker Street in Handcrafted
Who else out there are Sherlock Holmes fans? We love the mystery solving duo and happily named one of patterns after their famous 221 Baker Street abode. This particular version of our Baker Street pattern is made up in Handcrafted Patchwork by Alison Glass.
Introducing Mini Piccadilly Circle
When Kristy and I decided Piccadilly Circle was the sixth pattern we would turn into a mini quilt, I couldn't repress my urge to make a color wheel! I have loved rainbows from a very early age, and incorporate them into our projects as much as Kristy will let me =] We dug into our scrap bins and found 40 gradating fabrics to make this rainbow-tastic Mini Piccadilly Circle!
Introducing Mini Lantern Lane
Lantern Lane is one of our Fall Market pattern releases and we couldn't resist turning it into a mini quilt pattern too! It is a fun and easy-to-construct pattern that looks interesting and complex. We chose 9 different lime, green and aqua prints for the lanterns and placed them on a light teal hatching background to make this Mini Lantern Lane quilt.
Quilt Market in Minneapolis
As many pattern and fabric companies begin their journeys to International Quilt Market in Minneapolis, we are staying put. This will be the first time since we began Sassafras Lane Designs that we will not be attending and I am having mixed feelings about it.
Diamond Detour in Little Monsters
We made this fun scrappy version Diamond Detour with Andover Fabrics Little Monsters line. The line had lots of fun little critters like frogs, monsters, robots, numbers, snails, soccer balls, skulls and a neat stripe! We wanted to feature all the fabrics, so we changed up the pattern a little.
Jolly Farm Giveaway Winner + Sale!
Lindsey, who's favorite animals are sheep, is our winner of the Jolly Farm fat-quarter bundle and paper Diamond Detour pattern! Thank you to everyone who commented and Andover Fabrics for providing such an adorable bundle! It was fun to see what everyone's favorite animals are!
Diamond Detour in Jolly Farm + Giveaway!
We fell in love with a new line from Andover Fabrics. Jolly Farm is an adorable line chalked full of cute farm animals, trackers, patterns and foliage. We paired the line with an orange solid background to make a fun crib size Diamond Detour.
Shelby Satchel in Pearl Bracelets & Giveaway
We have another fun bag made up in Andover Fabrics to share with you! This is our Shelby Satchel crossover purse made up in the tone-on-tone Pearl Bracelets by Lizzy House for Andover Fabrics. The bag finishes 11.5 inches wide, 9 inches tall and 2 inches deep and fits an iPad perfectly. This version is fun and full of cool colors!
Cooper Carry-All in Dazzle
We have two bags made up in Andover Fabrics to share with you! The first bag that was displayed in their Quilt Market booth is this colorful Cooper Carry-All tote! We made this version of the Cooper Carry-All in the bright and fun Dazzle fabric line by Kim Schaefer. We love how it turned out!
