Sneak Peak!

Today I'm sharing a little sneak peak of the quilt I made for the upcoming book "Did Someone Say Cake?" being released next month and available at Shop Martingale.

These are the gorgeous fabrics I used. The batik colors are so rich and vibrant and the prints are the perfect scale, in my opinion.

The fabric line is Malibu Batiks and it's currently available from a huge number of quilt shops, but don't wait to get your stash. I expect it will sell out quickly.
Here's the last sneak peak I can share until the book is released.  I know, it's a little bit of torture to not show you more, but this will have to suffice until next month when I can share more.
As you can guess, I can't wait to get this book in my hands.  I would guess that there will be a few or more projects created by the other designers that I will want to make too.

Big News! My 1st Published pattern!

How would you react if you received an email from the Content Director at Martingale Publishing asking if you'd like to contribute a new quilt pattern for an upcoming book? 
 
Surprised? Shocked? Excited? Jaw dropped to the floor? All of these and more?
 
That was me in October 2020 when that email arrived in my inbox.  

I'm excited and humbled to announce that my first in print published pattern appears in Moda Bake Shop's Did Someone Say Cake? which arrives on book stands in February.
In the coming weeks, I'll be sharing a few sneak peaks of the fabric line I used and the quilt I designed for this book. I'll also share a little of the "behind the scenes" so you get an idea of what this process was like.
 
As you can imagine, I can't wait to get my hands on the book and see my quilt in print for real.
