Modern Patchwork Summer |
Modern Patchwork Summer is available for pre-order now! This is the first ever Summer issue of Modern Patchwork and you know it is loaded with beautiful projects and I have a copy available for one of you lucky readers!
The project I designed is called Waves and it just feels like summer to me! Isn’t this shot from the magazine lovely! It just looks so peaceful! I love those great colors too – the fabric is from the Sphere line by Zen Chic for Moda that came out in February. (A side note: I love everything that Brigitte from Zen Chic designs! She has done 4 fabric collections so far, with a 5th due out in August, and I have made quilts from 3 of the 4 collections – I missed Barcelona somehow š ).
Waves finishes at 62″ x 62″. You can see in the flatter shot here that the “waves” are made up of squares in graduating sizes. I kept the colors somewhat grouped together to represent the water, horizon and sunny sky. I quilted it in wavy lines to continue the theme. I think this quilt is just dying to be taken on a picnic or to the beach!
Now for the giveaway: leave me a comment and tell me what you’re sewing this summer.
Please, if you are a no-reply blogger, leave your email address in your comment. If I can’t reach you, you can’t win!
The giveaway will close at the end of the day on Saturday, July 12. Good luck!

Posted at 14:51h, 04 NovemberI added this quilt to my favorites when I saw it. I like its simple construction and the color scheme appeals to me greatly. My sister in law who grew up in the Ann Arbor/ Chelsea area picked it out of my flikr favorites for a quilt for their brand new baby. I didn't have the magazine to use your exact pattern, but worked something similar. Thanks so much for the beautiful inspiration. https://www.flickr.com/photos/66135235@N05/15086208083/

Posted at 15:50h, 03 OctoberLove this quilt. Had it in my flickr favorites and my sis-in-law just decided that she'd like a baby quilt like it, so I'm excited to be starting a new project inspired by this quilt. Thanks for the inspiration.

Posted at 23:59h, 10 JulyLove your quilt. A landscape made of squares, colors and quilting. So simple and clever! This summer I am sewing a bunch of Scout Tees (Grainline Studios). Each one a bit different. The one I'm sewing now is made from cotton/rayon fabric that came from a dress I bought at SalVal. It's purple with woven, fancy stripes of shiny purple. (I need new shirts!)

Posted at 12:04h, 10 JulyAwesome pattern! I've always been attracted to waves that are implied and not really curved. Love it!

Posted at 04:11h, 10 JulyI love this quilt! What a cool design….I am very inspired now! I have been working on a mini quilt right now. It actually is waves!
Hopefully I can get a quilt for myself started this summer. I cannot remember the last time I made a quilt for me!

Posted at 23:13h, 09 JulyThanks for the giveaway. I'm finally making a summer quilt for our bed–with my Kaffe Fassett fabrics and white. I'm using a 100% silk batting and only have a couple more passes to go to finish quilting it!

Posted at 15:40h, 09 JulyGreat design Debbie. The fabric really works well with the wavy design. I have a fat eighth pack of Sphere that I'm still waiting to use in a design I just haven't gotten to. I have pillows in the same issue so no need to enter me in the draw.

Posted at 10:44h, 09 JulyI'm trying to be diligent in finishing up several current BOMs I'm involved with. But I am collecting patterns and fabrics for projects to begin when the slate is clean. I don't think that ever will happen! thanks for a chance to win. skeshlaman@comcast.net
