Summer Wind is an older pattern (2004) I  forgot I had until one of my team members (Sue) saw it and wanted to test it.   

Here is a cute story about how Miss Rosie named this quilt pattern.  She designed and pieced the quilt in the summer.  She was also a baseball fan and was finishing her quilt while listening to the games.  One of the “priceless” MasterCard commericals is about going to a baseball game, and “Summer Wind” by Frank Sinatra was the background music!

The quilt is just one big star and with row after row of pieced borders.  The quilt can be made smaller/larger by subtracting/adding rows or borders to the quilt top.

Sue had the perfect fabric collection in mind:
April Cornell’s Nature Notebook.

Sue said the pattern was easy to follow with lots of pictures and written instructions.

There are new prints with this collection that coordinate with all Wintergraphix fabrics! Creating things for the holidays is a funny business. He started designing the projects for this year and the fabrics line, Wintergraphix 3 in August of 2009. He worked on it through fall, and though winter and finished it this spring. Sometimes it was hard for him to get motivated when the sun was shining brightly and beautiful flowers were everywhere. But the winter spirit pushed through, and he was very excited about the quilt projects in this book Holiday Project Book 2 and the fabrics they are made from. He tried to give each project a contemporary look, but with a traditional base that will still look good many years from now. He hopes you enjoy making these projects and that you love how they look in your home.

The dramatic points on these large stars make this quilt a show-stopper.  This quilt would be beautiful hanging in your dining room with a matching  Stars of Winter table runner decorating your table and wowing your guests.

The wonderful staff of That Patchwork Place have outdone themselves with this collection of thirteen quilts made from pre-cut fabrics — jelly rolls, layer cakes, honey buns, charm squares, and fat quarters.

Don’t have pre-cut fabrics? No problem. You can use your own fabrics if you refer to the “Stash Option” box provided for each project

Aren’t the quilts beautiful?  The directions are straightforward and easy to follow, and include tips for working with pre-cut fabrics, using fusible web, machine blanket stitching, freezer-paper applique’, pieced binding, and pinked edges.

I love the applique’ designs on the quilts.  The applique’ is a nice touch, and yet you won’t need to spend a lot of time to achieve the magic that applique’ can work on your quilt. 

Nice, easy designs.  No sharp points or drastic curves!

Sun Kissed!

“Rain, rain, go away, come again some other day.”

 The best part of a rain shower is when the sun and a bit of blue sky peek out from behind a cloud making the whole world look bright and “Sun Kissed”!  Picture a happy, colorful quilt made from these prints and maybe curtain or a child’s backpack or a tote for mom to carry to the store or quilting class.  Diane’s new collection is her way of saying that no matter the weather or trouble, the sun always does eventually come out!
So smile at the rain, enjoy how everything looks more vibrant when it’s wet and go out and jump in a puddle! Life’s too short not too!

 The quilt is a perfect size for babies, cribs, and little girls!
