Forever in my Heart

I just love this new "Forever in My Heart" pattern.  It's made with the "Sweetcakes" line of  fabric from Riley Blake.  It's only 40 by 40 so it makes a good wall hanging for Valentines or anytime.  Red and White is one of the classics.  It would also make a cute baby blanket because who doesn't love babies.  Pattern available on my website www.pinkhippoquilts.com .

Quilt Fest class quilt

This is a new version of my L'amour Est Trouve (Love is Found) quilt.  Some of you may recall the original that was done in black and pink.  I taught this quilt at the Utah Quilt Guild Quilt Fest in September, held in St. George Utah.

Silhouette my way

This is a new birthday quilt for my grandson Carson. It has a minky back in blue to match the front and it matches his room. I'm excited to give it to him today. The pattern is Silhouette from Mar 2012 McCalls Quilting.

Sighting at Pine Needles Quilt Shop, Salt Lake City

As always, it's fun to see others use my patterns and pick their own colorways. I was thrilled with the chocolate and pick approach to my Star Gazing Quilt Pattern. This quilt has always been one of my favorites. In fact I liked their color choices so well, I bought one of their kits!

Starry Nights Quilt Pattern

Our new pattern coming out today.  Done in beautiful solid colors and shades.  Fabric by Riley Blake Designs.

Spring Showers Quilt Pattern

Designed by Yvette Jones for Pink Hippo Quilts and made by me from "Verona" fabric by Emily Taylor Designs and Riley Blake Designs.

Pink Hippo Quilt Show

I'm excited that my quilt show opened today. It's being hosted by Thimbles and Threads Quilt Shop in Draper, Utah. Come and meet Cathie Zimmerman and her staff at the shop. The show is part of their anniversary celebration.

I hope you can make it by to see it. There are over 30 of my original designs hanging in the show. The quilts will be on display for all of March and April, 2012.

Sighting at the Stitching Corner

While shopping I saw one of my quilt designs hanging in the store. It is my "Holly Jolly" pattern. I loved the fabric selections. A beautiful quilt overall pieced by Susan Hyatt and quilted by Kathy Carbine. The Stitching Corner is located in Orem, Utah. The store is owned by my friend Scott Blackham.

New Baby Quilt I designed with a Lila Tueller backing

Sighting at thimbles and threads, Salt Lake City

It's my Yellow Buttercup quilt.  This is one of my favorites.  The pattern is available in my store.

American History Quilt Pattern

This new quilt was designed by me from Riley Blake's "Grandma's House" line which was just released.  It was shown at Houston Quilt Market in October. It is available on our website.

Carnation Fields

The Utah Quilt Guild annual Festival is on now in Provo at the Marriott.  I used this occassion to debut my new quilt in the vendor mall at the Stitching Corners booth.  It's made from Northern Cardinals by Moda and is a simple and fun pattern.  Northern Cardinals was designed by Holly Taylor.  The colors of the fabric are very dark red and dark green.  It has a very rich look to it.  It's actually darker than the picture show.

Pam Holland shares her inspirations

I watched an amazing video today on The Quilt Show blog. Pam Holland shares her inspirations from museums. She is widely traveled and she lives down under (i. e. Australia). I hope you can find the time to watch it too. I find her fun to listen to because of her wonderful australian accent. My favorite quilt is the Rhino which was inspired by Albert Durer's Rhino. Due to copyright I don't think I can publish a picture here but you can see it in the video.

Summer of Love

I'm excited to announce my first pattern for the new year - "Summer of Love". I designed it from one of Riley Blakes new fabric lines, "Feeling Groovy" by doodlebug design inc. I chose to accent the pink and brown colorways and incorporate hearts and daisies into my design. It's 100 % cotton. There's lot of applique there which makes me happy. The original quilt will be on display at the offices of Riley Blake Designs and Christensen Wholesale for the next several months as well as other locations.

Sighting at Thimbles and Threads

While shopping at Thimbles and Threads in Salt Lake City I saw my quilt "Nature's Flurry" quilted in the red fabrics. I loved it and it looked wonderful in those colors.

This is one of my favorite stores and it's owner Cathie Zimmerman does a great job with new displays, fun fabrics and great classes all the time. To find her store or look for store hours visit http://www.thimblesandthreads.com .

Fall Quilt Market

Market was wonderful this year. I had 6 quilts on display in the Riley Blake Designs booth. I met lots of interesting people and saw an incredible quantity of beautiful quilts. The spring market is in Salt Lake City and I'm looking forward to that.
