6 favorite quilts from 2013

These are in no particular order. But I thought with the close of 2012 I would share with you some of my favorite quilts .

Zen chic is one of the most amazing new companies that has joined the quilting world in 2012. 

Oho  shown above is just one of their many fresh modern designs. We carry their first release Juggling Summer fabrics for Moda and look forward to their new group Comma coming out in 2013. 

This citron and grey quilt was hanging in the Michael Miller booth at market. 

The color combination permeated all of the home dec world this year. 

Don't you love the quilting on it. 

Lots and lots of color and Westminster fabrics had a stellar booth at quilt market with tons of inspiration. 

Michael Miller's booth at fall quilt market. 

Yipes stripes and we saw them every where in abundance. 

This was by far my favorite stripe. We are still hoping to receive this fabric. 

A wonderful quilt made by Sue Spargo's sister, Wendy.

 These fabrics are scheduled to release in 2013. 

Good news we ordered the entire collection. 

What a show stopper. Zen Chic's booth for Moda. 

Made with their Comma fabric that releases in 2013. 

And yes we have ordered it. 

It has been a jam packed year hasn't it?

Stay tuned it will be a great 2013 in the quilt world.

Last Minute Gift Idea

If you are looking for a fun gift item to make for every one in your family,

let me recommend these bowl holders.  

The pattern has several sizes and they don't take a lot of time. The most important item to remember is that all the supplies must be 100% cotton .  These bowl holders are used when you want to reheat your food in the  microwave. You lift the bowl out of the microwave by the fabric so you won't burn your hands. 

 

My husband will use these sitting in his big easy chair with soup all winter. 

If he spills, I just throw them in the washer. 

In the summer you can use them for ice cream .  

More patterns have just arrived, let me know if you want me to reserve one for you. Janeese

Reversible Apron in Grey and Citron

Mrs Robinson was my favorite new apron pattern from Quilt market in Houston this fall.  The best part is its reversible. 

Abbey Lane always comes up with exciting new quilt patterns too.  

These fabrics from the store kept popping into my head. And I love this color combination, just a few more choices to make and I can start this project. 

Choices made and It felt good to finish this project and take it to the store today. 

I know it is a crazy busy time of year for all of you, just keep finding a few hours here and there to sew.

Eventually they all add up to a finish. 

Happy sewing, Janeese
