Gitte's Atlantic Avenue

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.

We have another fun Quilt Market project to hare with you today! We made this Mulholland Drive quilt to be featured in the Hoffman California Fabrics booth. This quilt features Cockatiel batiks and we absolutely love how it turned out; it is so different from any of our other versions! The quilt finished 52” x 70” - the perfect size to throw over your couch.

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!

Occasionally we get to make digital quilts for fabric companies, combining our patterns and their brand new fabric. These digital quilts get printed onto sales sheets and travel around with sales reps. It is a great way to show the new fabric and give our patterns some exposure.

We had a beautiful Euclid Avenue quilt hanging out in the Maywood Studio booth at Quilt Market in Pittsburgh. Our grandma/mom, MaryEllen Laughary made this quilt top. It turned out great! This version is a softer and more sophisticated version than any others we have shared.

You know us, we can never make just one quilt! This version of Prism Parkway originally appeared in Quiltmaker Magazine's 2014 color issue, (kind of suiting, huh?!)!

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!

Quiltmaker does this really neat issue twice a year called 'Quilts from Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks'. I have a quilt featured in this upcoming Spring '14 issue. It is based on my Formation block that was featured in 100 Blocks, Volume 8. Below is the block, and you can read all about it here!

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.
