Loved getting this photo from Laura Falk. She took home first place in the small quilt category at her guild's show (Circle in the Square Quilters)! Way to go, Laura!

Thank you to Create Whimsy for the recent interview! I loved sharing about my work and the creative process!

Cynthia England had a happy accident and learned a new way to create her realistic pictoral fiber art quilts.

I love this NEW Pelican design! So much fun to create. Here's a link to the pattern:

We also have kits with all the materials you need to complete this 18.5" X 27" quilt!

In honor of this new pattern, I wonder if any of you can finish a famous limerick by D.L. Merritt? Post your answers in the comments!

A wonderful bird is the pelican.
His bill can hold more than his belican.
He can hold in his beak
Enough food for a week...

I have already seen Halloween decorations and costumes popping up in stores! It's a little early for decorating, but never too early to start a fall quilt! I love the look of this with the pumpkins all lit up! The finished quilt is 13.5" x 35.5" and we have the pattern as well as kits with fabric available on the site.
