Ebb and Flow Quilt!!
Today I am so excited to share a new finished quilt with you featuring Ivy Reese by Deena Rutter that I was able to make for my wonderful friends at Riley Blake Designs!! This quilt is called Ebb and Flow and I just think it is oh so beautiful!! The Pattern is by Pieces from my Heart and it just looks amazing remade in these Ivy Reese fabrics ;)
The Ebb and Flow quilt uses Fat Eighths along with an accent and background fabric. Isn't it just so pretty how the chain connected to all of the blocks just emphasizes all of those gorgeous prints!! And I love that the border is done in the same accent fabric as the chain so it finishes up the edges of the chain just perfectly! The quilt finishes at 77" x 77" so it is a great size to curl up with!
And that is my Ebb and Flow quilt! And wow, I just love the pictures the team at Riley Blake takes!! Aren't these just so pretty!! It just makes me want to snuggle up with a good book in front of the fire place ;)
Thanks for joining me today and sharing in this new finish with me. I actually got to see this finished quilt hanging at Garden of Quilts and now it is off to quilt market to hang at the Riley Blake Booth. Just so fun!!! Thanks for popping in today ;)
I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Day!!

Garden of Quilts!
This last week has been spectacular!! I spent the entire week immersed in Quilty Goodness!! Yup, last week was Garden of Quilts!! And it was also crazy busy, hence why it has been so quiet on the blog for the last week ;) I taught 8 classes over 4 days and just loved getting to meet so many amazing quilters and share my passion for quilting with them!!
Here I am on Day 1 of classes. Thanks so Cindy Cloward for taking this picture, I was so busy, I hardly took any pictures, surprise, surprise. I had 3 classes that were full at 24 people, and the other 5 were close to that, so I got to share my Quilting Designs - Patterns with lots and lots of new quilty friends!!
What a wonderful week!!! I am already looking forward to next year's Garden of Quilts!!!

New Happy Quilting Pattern - Navigating the Stars!!
Today is our final new pattern day and it is all about . . . Navigating the Stars!!! And this one has a fun little story of how it got it's name :) This block design was inspired by an image of a rose compass on an old map. I kept tweaking the design until I got to this. At that point, I noticed that if I focused on the background fabric at the center of the block, I saw a star, which was my main goal. But when I focused on the Print fabric at the center of the block, I saw a square cross, reminding me of the way the sails are always depicted on the Mayflower. And I thought it was so cool that what started with old sailing maps, turned to stars and sails. And what did they use to navigate . . . the stars ;) And I just love the amazing secondary designs that pop out of this quilt, it really came together to be a super cool geometric block!!
