Picnic Patch Cutie Pattern -- New Video in "As the Bobbin Turns"

  I design Cutie Patterns and one that I wish I designed is Picnic Patch.

As with all Cutie Patterns, this quilt uses sixteen (16) fat eighths plus extras -- background, borders, binding.  I've made at least 20 Picnic Patch quilts as my standard wedding quilt.  I've quilted each and every one of them with wool batting and ribbon candy in the sashing.  The contrast between the quilted ribbon candy and the loft of the unquilted fabric and wool batting is stunning.  It's also super-fun for me to quilt.

While most of my wedding quilts feature feathers, this pink quilt gave the "little girl" vibe rather than the "wedding" vibe so I chose to feature posies instead of feathers in this quilt.

I used one of my favorite threads -- Pansy -- to quilt this quilt and the experience was pure bliss!  (I'm kind of a pink girl.)

I carried the posy pattern to the border.  Every stitch of this quilt was free-motion quilted on my home machine and this type of quilt just FLOWS!

Handi Quilter Quilt Along with Shabby Fabrics -- block 5

  I had sew much fun quilting this week's block!

(that red/yellow quilt on the cover might be mine!)

I chose to meander/stipple this placemat because it reminded me of a goose waddling around the farmyard.  Do I have a goose?  No.  Do I have a farmyard?  Also no.  And I'm kind of sad about this.

I used all Fossil Fern fabrics for my placemat.  I may have the entire collection.  And I may just pet it regularly.

Materials:

Stone Tutti cotton thread for quilting

Dove Grey DecoBob polyester thread for the bobbin
