Inspiration

My wall hanging size quilt that I made with the
bundle. It used 6 of the fabrics from an Allium bundle plus a few yardage
cuts. The background is Kona Pepper.

PieceFabric Co in Canada released a quilt kit that paired Oakshott
and Kona for a pattern by Canadian designer Christine from Tessellate Textiles.

I am making the Double Ruby Ring quilt blocks designed by Michelle Bartholomew. I am using Kaffe Fassett stripes in the middle just to give me a color palette for each block and then using my precious scraps for the rest of the block. The curved piecing was a little tricky at first to do via English paper piecing, but I'm in the rhythm now and the blocks are going more quickly. I think they are stunning.

Heres the little quilt (20” square), made using the fabrics I bought from you recently!

It was for an exhibition by New Horizons Textile Group called Home.

The design is taken from a photograph I took of my late husband David’s welded metal sculptures standing on top of my bookcase. I abstracted the image by using an app called Prisma and the Mondrian feature within it. David kept them hidden in a box for nearly 50 years and we talked about displaying them in our new home.

I’m pleased to tell you that Connections is going on tour across the US with the Best of QuiltCon 2022 exhibit!
