'Tis the Season for Baby Quilts

'Tis the Season for Baby Quilts

Spring has sprung! This is one of my favorite times of the year. It is finally warm enough to dust off those shorts and frolic outdoors before it gets hot! I just spent the weekend camping and hiking around Moab, so I am feeling refreshed and invigorated creatively.

Cultivate Blog Tour - Shivaun Place Baby Quilt

When Bonnie Christine, of Going Home to Roost, posted a call for designers to participate in her Cultivate Blog Tour, I jumped at the opportunity! I've always loved Bonnie's aesthetic, colors and designs, so I was very excited to participate.

When I saw this adorable Peapods fabric from Dear Stella, I knew we had to make a baby quilt with it! We combined the peapods with a yellow-green fabric, a lime green fabric and a white solid to make this crib size quilt of our Shivaun Place pattern. Our smallest size (tall) of Shivaun Place is the perfect size for a baby quilt and only calls for two fat-quarters, an accent and a background.

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.

This fun modern version of our Shivaun Place pattern just arrived back home to us not too long ago! It is a quilt we made for Spring Market and appeared in Michael Miller Fabrics' booth. We used the Mod line and Cotton Couture solids.

So we are back in Colorado with lots to do and smiles on our faces. Our first Quilt Market could not have gone better! We made lots of contacts, met so many wonderful people and had a blast. Our feet are a little tired, but it was so worth it!

I am jealous. Well mostly jealous! 95% of me wishes I was with all the quilty industry folks landing in the PDX airport and setting up booths. Even though we are not going to be there... we have a few quilts being hung! If you are attending and see these, we would love a photo =].

Shivaun Place Quilt Pattern

Shivaun Place Quilt Pattern

Shivaun Place is a fat-quarter quilt with REALLY BIG BLOCKS! The big blocks make piecing easy and fun. This pattern is also a no-waste pattern! There is a bonus pattern included that uses all the cut-offs. This is fun quilt pattern to use those fun fat-quarters we all have stashed away! Busy prints, solids, batiks or a mixture look fantastic in this pattern.
