Rosy Lullaby - Published (Squeal)

I am so excited to get to share Rosy Lullaby with you!!!  I designed Rosy Lullaby to be a simplistic and adorable pattern.  The fabric is from the Song Bird line by Carina Gardner for Riley Blake Designs.  Isn't it just beautiful!!!! The quilt goes together quick and is perfect for when you want to whip something up for an adorable little girl (or boy if you wanted to use blue and green :)

Now,  the publishing process takes a little while and it is really hard for me to keep these things under wraps. So you can imagine my excitement when I was sent the cover image and found my little Rosy Lullaby inserted on the front cover as the PLUS addition ;)  Squeal #2!!!

And then it gets better!!!!  McCall's decided to use the basis of my quilt as their Web Bonus feature!!!  The Web Bonus is a free download of the Rosy Lullaby Twin Size version!!!  So now you can whip this up in a twin size for free!!!   Squeal #3

The final thing I am super excited about this quilt is that I quilted it myself.  Now I have quilted a ton of quilts before but this is the first one that I quilted on my own that was being published.  And I have to say, I was pretty happy with how it turned out :)  (Squeal #4!!)


Here is a detail shot of the quilting :)


So ya, basically a lot of squeals going on over here today.  Maybe even a happy dance or two :)  And with that, I wish you all a Happy Quilting Day!!!

  13. Congratulations on the publication, Melissa. It is an adorable quilt that could take on all kinds of flavors based on fabric choice--so I think a lot of people will find it useful. I'm so glad some people, like yourself, are willing to submit quilts that are nicely quilted--after years of seeing so many quilts with quilting that was clearly just an afterthought.
    Great feeling, I'm sure.

  36. I love, love, love this quilt. I want to do it in an 80x80 version for my cabin, so will have to figure out the pattern/plan for that. In the mean time though I am making your girly version in pinks from my stash to get practiced up for the cabin quilt. Thank you for this!!!
