We have been published again. "My Stars VIII" was published in November 2012 and we are pleased to announce that our quilt Child's Garden was selected to be included in their book. This quilt is available on our website.
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 .
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
