November Paper Piecing from Made By Marney

I’m excited to be on the cover of the 2021 QUILTMAKER magazine, November/December issue. Those are my cute sledding Penguins on the cover.

These blocks are as fun to paper piece as they look!

The wonderful editors at Golden Peak Media have been so awesome to work with, and are always looking for clever quilting ideas for their magazines. I am so lucky to be in a second magazine this month…

My GNOME APRON is in the 2021 McCall’s Quilting November/December issue.

You know how ...

Poppy Pod Lane from Nestlings By Robin

I have a love of poppy flowers and

have designed some larger quilts

that the magazines maybe find
overwhelming...?

So I designed a smaller piece and

Primitive Quilts & Projects

picked it up:) YAY!

Their magazine is so full of beauty.

I started previewing my fabrics

to see how they would look

as quarter-square triangles.

Once the top was finished,

it was time to work on the

embroidery for the

applique' section.

Once all my applique'

was fused in place,

on to basting....

Yes, I pin baste

small projects for

machine quilting.

My quilting was straight

stitching along the diagonal line ...

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 ...

My Feature in Quiltfolk Magazine: Nevada Issue 15 from Christa Quilts

I love reading quilt magazines that are more than just a bunch of patterns. So when QuiltFolk debuted in 2016 it was a no-brainer for me to get a subscription and I’ve enjoyed every issue since then!

Imagine my pleasant surprise when editor in chief Mary Fons called me up earlier this year (before the world went a little haywire) and asked if she could feature me as one of the stories in their Nevada issue which published earlier this month.

Now, for those of you who don’t know, this amazing magazine tells stories about quilters all over ...

WHERE LOVE GROWS from Nestlings By Robin

Thank you SIMPLY MODERNE for publishing this fun

combination of paper piecing and applique'.

Meet WHERE LOVE GROWS!

I did pretty well matching my colors

to make it cheerful.
Paper piecing trick:
I collect notions and such and one of
the items are the old heavy metal irons.
They are great weights for pressing
a pile of paper pieced blocks FLAT!!

There is an addition of some bias strips

to the simple paper pieced blocks

to create the larger branches.

I also stitched in some

little skinny ones for texture.

Then my favorite part...the APPLIQUE'!!!

This is raw edge ...

Quilty Things to Read from Goer

Here are a few of my favorite quilty things to read lately.

Books

My newest quilt book is The Quilter's Field Guide to Color by Rachel Hauser. Not only is it a colorful feast for the eyes, but it is an interactive workbook with a large color swatch library and 14 experiments.

In addition to books about quilting and fabric and color, I read the entire Quilting Cozy series by Carol Dean Jones this year. The books follow the lives of a group of retirees (and various other characters) who live in a quaint, retirement village. Sarah Miller, main ...

WINTERBERRIES from Nestlings By Robin

On Shelves Now!

This block design is so versatile and I knew that I wanted it in Christmas colors so I started pulling shades of green and red and throwing them on the floor so I could think on them.

Isn't this a sweet little print?!

It gives so many colors to play with.

Let the chain piecing begin and be

mindful of those 1/4" alignments.

Here is a picture of a test block so you can

see it in another colorway ...very sweet!

The more important part of this picture is showing the alignment

of the triangles ...
