When I saw the toile from the Chateau de Fleurs collection, I drooled! Red is a favorite color and how striking is this two-colored Mon Amour Table Runner?! The spotlight is on the toile which is where it should be! And, it’s accented with the most beautiful red fabric… just yummy!
The Chateau de Fleurs collection is an enchanting recreation of French sensitivity. Delicate toile, combined with soft florals in antique colors, takes me back to my studies of the Renaissance period. French Countryside is evocative of what I would consider French country design. You will find soft colors of nature with golds, reds as seen in flowers, and blues and greens like the fields and sky.
What thoughts occur to you when considering the month of June? Perhaps sun, a warm breeze, and those lovely pinwheels children play with in the wind? As you can see, all these are incorporated into our beautiful candle mat for June! And, the beautiful fabrics are from the Quilter's Candy Collection. It’s easy to construct and reasonably within a day from start to finish! Download the June Candle Mat for free and enjoy!
The Gathered Friends
quilt is a reminder of how important those we hold dear are to us.
Built with blocks that intertwine, they have an appearance of holding
one another together as dear friends. The block is a simple 9-Patch with
half-square-triangles (HST) in the corners. The block is then set on
point with additional HSTs which create a braided look. Truly an
exercise in color placement, you will enjoy watching each block unfold
and interlock as they are sewn together.
Quilt designing and writing are a fundamental part of my responsibilities at Connecting Threads. It is without a doubt, the most delightful job. One can only wish to have a job like this! Interestingly enough, it’s a challenge to write this because it’s like telling someone how to play! You just do it! Right?
