Bramble Blooms from Nestlings By Robin

The May issue of AQ Magazine is out and you will
find my Bramble Blooms within its fine pages.

Let's talk fabrics:)

My fabric supplier was very

generous with this HARLOW

collection from Northcott.

There is some truth to having too many decisions:)

Sometimes you need to try a new

technique, quilt style, or in this

case, a new block.

I have an affinity for pinwheel

blocks and tried something new

this time by splitting one square of

a half-square triangle set up

before stitching together.

It gives some fun extra movement.

Then you chain piece

every step of ...

Sweet Persimmons from Nestlings By Robin

I have never had a persimmon

and maybe I should try

one now that I have named

a quilt after them:)

New in the November

issue of AQ Magazine

meet Sweet Persimmons.

This sweet design started

out in a 30s rendition.

Once I started thinking in Autumn

colors, I came up with this palette.

Still really like it and may have

to put this grouping to work

in another project!

Looks great, right?

Sometimes I can't see past my

own vision but I also had

this Sandy Gervais print sitting

around that I had been wanting

to use in ...

Quarantine SQUIRREL... from Nestlings By Robin

Hello again.

I hope I am not the only

one suffering from

'Squirrel' syndrome during

this quarantine....?

Pretty sure I am not

and thought I would share

a few of the things I have done

since this began.

We went to Chicago mid March

for a baby shower and that was

the first time I had really taken

my head out of my work long

enough to notice what was going on.

When we got home, I started making

some masks for my youngest

who works in a unit that

was being transformed into

a Covid unit and that freaked ...

An Unmetered Ode to PreCuts from Quilting Studio Adventures

I love PreCuts. I LOVE them. Buying fabric is expensive. Finding a fabric line by a designer might mean hundreds of dollars. But what if you really love the designer and the fabric line? Then PreCuts are the answer. There are Layer Cakes - a stack of forty 10" x 10" fabrics from the same collection - see above left, Chalk & Charcoal by Jennifer Sampou for Robert Kaufman. There are Charm Packs, a stack of forty 5" squares - see above bottom right, Modern Backgrounds More Paper by Zen Chic. There are even MiniCharm Packs, forty 2.5" squares. Hiding in the upper ...

Beach Glass from Nestlings By Robin

Available now....

This is Beach Glass, a fun easy quilt

that will look fantastic in any color way

and has many design options!

It came about through a call for

submissions from Annie's.

They were looking for quilts

that had one block versatile enough

to create multiple quilts just

by "twisting and turning" the blocks.

VIOLA'!

Once a color way was chosen,

I made a test block to verify

there would be enough value

differentiation.
I found my perfect fabric with
Connecting Threads in their
Sea From Space collection
which is All Batiks!

Easy way to verify you are ...
