Free 'Pieces of My Heart Quilt' Pattern

Free 'Pieces of My Heart Quilt' Pattern

It is officially February and even though I am not a big Valentines Day girl, I had an idea for a simple heart pattern. It is a quick project and adds a little love to any decor.

Today, I would like to share Annette Matthies' Main Street quilt! She took our Mystery Class back in 2012 when we taught this one. Surprisingly she chose colors very similar to our cover quilt! She chose a turquoise for the accent color instead of a dark grey and I love how it looks.

Working on Big Projects in Small(er) Spaces

2014 is officially here, and with it came a few deadlines! First up, a fun quilt I designed that will appear in Quiltmaker this Spring. It is a twin size quilt and the first large project I have worked on in this new home, so I thought I would share some tips for making large projects in small spaces.

Quiltmaker Magazine has a theme to each of their issues. Jan/Feb '14 issue's theme was Color. We all know I love color. So I jumped on the opportunity to create something colorful! I also love geometry. For this quilt, I took an equilateral triangle, and cut it into 6 equal pieces.

Twice a year Amy, of Amy's Creative Side, hosts a Blogger's Quilt Festival over the time for Quilt Market. It has become a huge quilt show online. I love to peruse all the different categories and see all the amazing quilts out there.

Every time we teach a Mystery Class, my mom and I each make a version of the quilt. (See mine here) This beauty is my Mom's Bourbon Street quilt. I am not certain... but I am pretty sure we broke a few laws taking these shots!

Taking photos of our finished projects is very high on my "Why I Love My Job" list. In fact I should make an actual list someday! (note to self) I try to find new places and spots to take photos, but usually they are in my house or front yard.

Here is another project we made for Quilt Market in Houston! This is our Cooper Carry-All tote bag made up in Shadowland II from Kona Bay Fabrics. These prints are gorgeous and so easy to work with! We are making a Diamond Alley quilt in these too! Photos to come later =]
