Dusk at Sea quilt pattern
This is "Dusk at Sea", my newest pattern designed with the Loca Linda fabric collection by Blank Quilting.

These are the fabrics I used in Dusk at Sea, and the last three are from the Blank Quilting Starlet basics … [Read more...] about Dusk at Sea quilt pattern

A Whale of a Time – 2 Free Patterns
Free Pattern Alert!!!Let me introduce you to Skipper (Quilt #1), one of the two patterns I designed for Studioe Fabrics and its line A Whale of a Time by Sarah Prosser.

The quilt finishes at 56" … [Read more...] about A Whale of a Time – 2 Free Patterns
