Holland Quilt - Edge to Edge Machine Quilting by Natalia Bonner

It's that time of year again. International Quilt Market is this weekend, that means our screens will be full of new yummy quilty inspiration. I won't personally be attending Quilt Market this time around, we've got a family memeber getting married, wait we can't wait to see all of the beautiful pictures from the show.

This quilt is a fun one that I recently quilted for Vanessa of Lella Boutique called Holland. The tulips are adorable, so cute that they actually make me want to do some curved piecing. :)

UQSM - 2018 - Quilt Show in Sandy Utah!

Last week I spent the week in Sandy, Utah teaching at UQSM. So far this year I've been traveling and teaching quite a bit this year and after this event I'm feeling more energized and excited about the future than I have in quite some time!

At the show I taught four, hands-on classes, Beginner's Guide to Free-Motion Quilting, Next Steps In Machine Quilting, Creative Background Fillers and Visual Guide to Free-Motion Quilting Feathers. I had full classes and my students were fabulous. I loved watching them improve on their machine quilting skills from the beginning of class to the end of class, it's so gratifying to be able to witness the light-bulb moment.

Introducing Flourish - A Fabric Collection by Natalia Bonner & Kathleen Whiting for Moda Fabrics

I'm so excited today to share our newest fabric collection, Flourish by Natalia Bonner & Kathleen Whiting for Moda Fabrics. 

Like our first fabric collection, Thrive for Moda Fabrics, Flourish is made from all the colors we love and love to use in our homes. The prints are mostly line designs based off of my machine quilting designs. The prints in Flourish are great as stand alone prints, or they can be fabulous blenders, they are great to blend with your favorite fabrics.
