Over the Rainbow

Hip Hip Hooray!
I finished my quilt top and I am thrilled with it!

 Next step of course is the quilting! I am going to use Hobbs Silk Batting in this quilt to give a very nice “pop” to the applique once it is quilted.

Max’s new friend stopped by to see the quilt also, I think she is day-dreaming of spring and flowers.

 My newest goodies have just arrived! Our new batik collection “Over the Rainbow” (releases May 2012) is the “crayon box” for all of my latest projects and there are plenty of them for you to enjoy!

 If you would like to see more about this new fabric collection please enjoy the video below.

 I love rainbows, I think that you will agree with me that there is something special about them that takes your breath away.

    Ms. Edyta,

    I don’t think my credit card is going to recover from this. I haven’t touch the fabric, yet and I want all of it. I think I’m going to have to ban your website and emails so I’m not tempted to increase my debt bigger than the federal government. Absolutely beautiful!

    You’re quilt is amazing! Is it all hand applique or machine?

    • Administrator says:

      I did my quilt top by machine with my new fusible Silhouettes. The pattern includes full size layouts (no enlarging required) and is friendly for hand, machine, and fusible appliquers.

  14. Diane Nagle says:

    What a beautiful quilt! I love that the design takes the main focus and the fabrics are the colors to make it happen. Sometimes the fabric design dominates a pattern, but not in this case! Love it!

  15. Kelli Ruthruff says:

    Beautiful.

  24. I love the beautiful jewel tone fabrics and your quilt is exquisite. I really admire those who choose to applique because it is a technique that I have not tried nor have the needle work skills to do. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous piece.
    Congratulations on the yummy new fabric line- fabulous fabrics.
    Regards from Western Canada,
    Anna

  34. Sue Winn says:

    Absolutely stunning is the only thing I can say about your new applique quilt. The fabric line looks amazing and the added Silhouettes are an added bonus. Have always admired appliques quilts, but dreaded the prep work needed to begin. Now you have taken some of the dread out of project. Keep up the fantastic work.

  37. Fran Kirkwood says:

    I would love to do your new applique quilt as a BOM. Will it be available on your website? I go to Smith-Owen in Grand Rapids and I don’t know if they will do it or not. Please let me know. Thanks it is gorgeous.

  38. DonnaRose921 says:

    Wow! The colors are exciting and the applique work is beautiful. I’m about to begin the “Hop to It” using the maching applique since I tend to get bogged down with hand work. I truly love your designs and creations.

  39. SARA says:

I can’t wait to order these beautiful fabrics you are holding in your hands..also just started applique just this past Christmas and I love it! I like the idea the appliques pieces are all pre-cut for us too ..A big Thank you! :)

  44. Barbara Bauman says:

    I want and need to purchase the small rainbow thread pack but I dont see it on the website. Fabric is beautiful, new quilt is awsome.

  45. Nancy Cohen says:

    My local quilt store is offering this quilt as a new BOM. What size is the quilt? It doesn’t say it anywhere.

    Thanks
    Nancy

  46. Sue says:

    I’ve pre-ordered this BOM but now I’m wondering about the thread sets. Will the 10 small spools be enough for “blanket stitching” all the applique? I see a variegated thread in the 12 large spool set and maybe another bluish thread? I don’t want to spend the money for the large spools if I’d have enough thread with the smalls. Thanks for your response.

  47. Vicki Hyatt says:

    Love, love, love your blog…..the quilt show looks awesome…hope to visit your area one day…

  48. Diana Nelson says:

    I am thrilled with the new silouettes you are offering. I am just starting with applique and this will be a wonderful help to me until I am able to start cutting out my own shapes and get familiar with the prcess of fusing shapes onto fabric. The new Block of the month idea is also interesting to me as well.

  49. Susan says:

    You have out done yourself!! Love the new Over The Rainbow material and patterns. Can’t wait to put my hands on some. Thank You for having the quilting passion.

  50. Sheral Brewer says:

    Love everything you do. I am collecting all your fabric and books. I live in a very small town so have to get most of my supplies online. Again everything is so beautiful.
    Keep it coming I still have room in my sewing room.

    Sheral

  51. Deb Anderson says:

    I love your work and your fabrics. Along with your wonderful books. You have a style that inspires me !!. I wonder how do you do everything ? and do it so well ?.

  52. lcollins says:

    The new umbrella pattern is awesome it reminds me of a quilt my mother made when I was a little kid. Looks like another project needs to be started.

  53. Jen says:

    I’m fascinated with this beautiful quilt and can’t wait to get my hands on the pattern. I’m planning to attempt it block by block by hand appliqueing turn under method I just learned. So you see I’m new to applique, but enthralled by it. Am I crazy to attempt such a feat? (planning to use these same fabrics, then planning to free-motion quilt by machine because I realize how hard it would be to hand quilt through the batik fabric so its not like I’m planning to do the entire project by hand). I’d love to hear thoughts from others. Thanks in advance.
