Beautiful Quilts on Display from Local Designer Jill Finley of Jillily Studio
There must be something in the water; here in Utah we are surrounded by an abundance of talented makers. From textile artists to pattern designers, our great state has a wealth of innovative sewists that contribute on all levels of the quilting industry. One of those dynamic designers is Jill Finley and we are lucky enough to call her neighbor. You may recognize her as Jillily; the woman behind our favorite Poke-A-Dot sticky thimbles, creator of Appli-Glue and the author of several quilt patterns and books. Jill is a master of the creative sewing arts.
From Jillily Studio's website, "Jill has been designing quilts for over 15 years and currently designs and sells quilt fabric, patterns, kits and notions. Her quilt designs show off her fresh style using high contrast fabrics and usually have a bit of applique to soften and finish each design. Jillily Studio produces the popular notions: Appli-Glue, Poke-A-Dots, Maker Paper, Starch Brushes and Quilter's Digits along with numerous kits and patterns.
Jill is a Master Designer for Aurifil Threads and is also a BERNINA Ambassador. Her designs have been featured in several magazines including American Patchwork and Quilting, Quilter’s Home and McCall’s Quilting. She stays busy traveling and teaching about her quilt designs and applique methods. Jill designs fabric with Riley Blake Designs. Creating fabric collections for quilting has been one of Jill’s favorite projects."
We are honored to have three of Jill's quilts currently on display at the shop, all from her recent release, Petals and Pedals for Riley Blake Designs. This collection combines two summertime favorites, flower gardens and bicycles and we are delighted to offer a selection here at the shop.
The Pedal Pusher's Remix quilt (below) is a clever design using Jill's darling panel for the bicycle blocks surrounded by pieced “wheel” blocks echoing the colors in the flowers. RicRac creates the spokes in the blocks for a whimsical effect. This kit comes packaged in a sturdy keepsake box with magnetic closure for $149.99. Available in-store now.
Next on display, we have Poppy Fields. Finishing at 40" square this cutie makes a great summer table topper or wall hanging. Jill's striking poppy print dominates while a sweet applique scalloped border adds a delicate touch. We have patterns in-store along with yardage so you can pull together your own take on this garden beauty.
And finally, we have my favorite of her current collection, Posy Party! Just look at all those dottie little blooms! Graphic black and white forms the framework for 16 identical blocks embellished with a variety of circular applique posies. The result is a 63" x 75" summer celebration throw quilt. Our kit's includes the pattern and Jill's beautiful Petals and Pedals collection as shown below for piecing the top and binding.
