"Quilting Makes My Heart Sing." Sew Musical 2018 Row x Row Begins June 21st!






One week ago today, I found myself sitting in a sunny classroom with Amy Butler. That's right,THE Amy Butler, founder of Midwest Modern, major player in the modern quilt movement, color and design master - - AMY BUTLER. To say I was star stuck is an understatement but if you've ever had the chance to meet her you know she is a gracefully genuine woman who connects with everyone she meets. Our focus was to develop our own personal color scheme and it was unlike any sewing class I have ever taken. In fact we didn't sew at all. Amy began the class with a short deep breathing exercise and then went on to explain how we would be "working from our heart space." We spent time sorting through photos, magazine tears and ephemera that appealed to us making a "pile of beautiful images" and then refined them to discover the hues that really spoke to our hearts on that particular morning. We then created a personal poster of these images "like a spirit dump onto the page" as Amy put it. I must have been longing for the Utah desert that morning because I came away with a beautiful color scheme that spoke of red  rocks, sagebrush and sun washed linens. It was a freeing, uplifting experience I plan to use often in my designs. I can honestly say that it made my quilting heart sing!

I think that's the feeling Marianne Michaels had in mind when she created our 2018 Row by Row Experience pattern, sample and kit! "Quilting Makes My Heart Sing" is the free row pattern you can receive at our shop June 21st-September 4th, 2018. Simply ask at our register!

My quilting heart sang when I saw the Amalfi fabric collection by Rifle Paper Co. I threw in a few Dear Stella fabrics to mix beach sunbathers with ocean mermaids in what I'm calling my "Where Surf Meets Sand" quilt. I love this simple yet effective Equilateral triangle pattern from Art Gallery Fabrics for showcasing prints that I otherwise struggle to cut into. It's a free pattern pdf on their website! We have a limited number of kits for this twin size quilt. The fabric is going fast!
