We just love this luscious bundle from Laundry Basket Quilts. The rich colors and textured linen look give it a depth and beauty that we can't resist.
Scroll down to see patterns that pair perfectly with the fabric.
We love this pattern for the obvious reason that it is sewing themed!
We like the way that this one is modern and traditional at the same time.
This wonderfully traditional quilt pattern is perfect for any season!
This is another modern but traditional pattern, and we just love how the colors create so much energy!
Happy Quilting!

Using wool and multi-colored fibers, Charlotte Hickman has taken needle felting to "new heights" with her quilt, Needle-Felted Sunflowers. This quilt was on display as part of the Alternative Techniques exhibit at the Houston International Quilt Festival 2018.
Charlotte incorporates her roving yarns (fuzzy-textured wool fibers) into many of her quilts, and she demonstrates how she creates tree trunks using the needle punch attachment on her BERNINA in Show 1805: Telling Stories and Quilting.

We love the simplicity of this silk log cabin block enhanced by the beautiful complexity of embroidery stitches in Not Your Grandma's Crazy Quilt by Ruth Chandler. We are also entranced by what almost appears to be "ruched" binding.
Learn more about fancy stitches and embroidery from Ruth in Show 2504.

Oh Baby...We've Come a Long Way by Laura Fogg uses a multitude of techniques and fabrics...from fused appliqué and free-hand thread sketching, to tissue paper, sparkly tulle, and novelty trims. She uses all of this to represent different aspects of the Women's Movement and shows just how far we've come to where we are today.
