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?
The Moonlit Blooms
collection is an enormous cluster of color amid a sea of black. The
combination has great impact! This fusion creates the most stunning
quilts whether for a bed, lap quilt or a table runner. Posy Spray is large enough to be a table topper, lap quilt or wall hanging at 54”.
The Baroque Floral fabric from the Moonlit Blooms collection is just gorgeous, simply gorgeous. Sunset Jewels Table Runner
does a good job of framing it in and providing the space needed to
deliver a beautiful quilt. I think its voice is loud and clear! The
colors are so saturated, and the black ground gives the blooms room to
speak.
