Wish Upon a Quilt Blog

Fabulous quilts by fantastic women! What are you working on today?

My favorite part of the day is when you bring in your fantastic creations. They are beautiful, keep them coming!

Oooohh…our Quilt Market purchases are starting to arrive. Picnic Parade by Jenean Morrison is a new group from Free Spirit. These summer colors make me happy! Take a look at Jenean’s blog for some great ideas for children’s clothing using this collection. I also like these fun purses. 

Of course, this collection is great for quilting also and here is a FREE pattern to get you going. Leave a comment and tell us what is on your design wall. Happy Summer! 

Look at these great quilts our customers have made! So inspiring!

We would love to see what you are making! Stop in or send us an email.

Our Cut Up club continues to be so inspiring and fun! Each month we take different pre-cut fabric shapres and turn them into beautiful quilts. We also have show and tell time, giveaways and more. Join us by signing up here.

Our June quilt used a Summer Fun Turnover by Moda and the Belgian Waffles pattern by Happy Zombie.

Sheryl's Soiree

 

Sheryl is using Lila Tueller’s Soiree in this beautiful quilt. I had the opportunity to meet Lila, a new designer with Moda, at Spring Quilt market.  Lila was showing Santorini which will be in stores in September. Of course I bought the entire line, it was irresistible!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you have enjoyed a relaxing holiday and have a healthy, happy and prosperous new year. We were treated with some special show and tell items that I wanted to pass on. I really liked both of these because they are small projects and were given as gifts for the holidays.

Janette from Raleigh came in a couple of month’s ago to select fabric for this great bag. This one was made with fabrics from the Nest and Bandana Beauties collections. Janette has made several of these bags as gifts and gave herself this one. Janette’s daughter is in the background and loves to help. Thanks for sharing Janette!

Karin from Raleigh made these great table toppers for everyone in her quilting bee. She had a big stack of them and they were all gorgeous! Great way to use your favorite fabric.

Do you have a project that you would like to share? Are you stuck on one that has been around awhile? Bring your projects in, we love to see them and are glad to help you finish them!

This was a Christmas gift for Elyse’s boyfriend. He is a student at NC State and I am sure he will love it. Great job Elyse! Do you remember your first quilt? What inspired you to make it? Share your quilts with us!

We love it when our customers bring in their quilts. Each one has a story and I wish we could tell them all.  Judy brought in this great “Peek-a-boo” quilt that she made for her granddaughters. Under each fabric box, there is a new surprise, too much fun!

Linda’s Aunt-In-Law gave her this quilt top to finish and she wasn’t quite sure what the name of the pattern was, so we all named it “Jacob’s Chain”.

Jessica made this beautiful thirties quilt for her grandparents for Christmas. They will love it!
