My new collection, called Lily's Locket, will be arriving in March.  I'm so excited!  

Sweet Pea quilt, by Pam Buda

Sweet Pea is the quilt I've designed using all of the fabrics in Lily's Locket.

This is the beautiful floral print featured in Lily's Locket.  I must admit....I'm not usually drawn to this type of floral, but I am in LOVE with this print!  I had to design a collection around it, and Lily's Locket is it.  

As you can see in the quilt image above, this gorgeous floral is the focus of the quilt.  I chose a block that would use the coordinate prints and still show the floral beautifully.  I sized the block to be large for the same reason.  

There are four assorted blue prints.....

Four assorted red prints.....

Four assorted green prints.....

Three assorted pink prints....

....and four assorted brown prints.

These are just some of the blocks for the Sweet Pea quilt.  I thought you'd like to see how the fabrics look when they're pieced together.  I can't wait to see it all done!

The quilt measures 88 x 99.  It also features a pieced border of quarter square triangles to bring all of the coordinate prints and colors to the outside of the quilt.  

Lily's Locket will arrive in March, so please ask for it at your local quilt shop.  I always encourage you to shop at your LQS before shopping with me.  It's imperative that we patronize our quilt shops and keep those treasured businesses going!

If your LQS doesn't carry my patterns and fabrics, then you have the opportunity to pre-order my Sweet Pea quilt, and Fat Quarter or Half-Yard bundles as I have to get my fabric order in very soon.  

I am taking pre-orders now for my Sweet Pea quilt.  Click here to pre-order the quilt.

You can also pre-order a Lily's Locket Fat Quarter bundle or Half-Yard bundle.  Click here for bundles.

Place your pre-order no later than Monday, February 13th.  Your order will ship mid to late March, 2023.

Thank you, thank you so very much for your continued support of my little business.  I wouldn't be here without you!!  

Keep your needle busy and your heart content.  Be well, stay warm!

My pal, Paula Barnes (of Red Crinoline Quilts) and I will be sailing the Caribbean this coming May.  Honestly, this is such a fun experience you really should treat yourself.  A quilting cruise is the perfect vacation for quilters because you sew as much or as little as you want, eat fabulous food, see wonderful shows, live music and visit tropical destinations (all included.)  What is not to love??

Stitchin' Heaven is offering $200 off per person when you grab three friends and sail together!  That is an awesome deal!!  Click here to read the details, and I hope to meet you onboard!

I'm preparing for my next fabric collection, called Lily's Locket.  This is a new endeavor for me as it uses a beautiful light print floral pattern as the main print in the quilt.  I don't usually choose light florals, but this one stole my heart, and I had to use it.  It's very old, and classic in the dressing gown style prints from the 1800's.  

I designed fun coordinate prints with the colors in the floral design, and used a block that pops against the main floral background.  I have begun piecing blocks and will show you one very soon.  Lily's Locket will be delivered in March.  Pre-orders for fabric bundles and the kit coming soon.

I thought I'd share a little about the fabrics I design and choose for my collections.  The print is from Redwood Cupboard.

I found this small pieced section of antique blocks.  At first glance it may not look like much to get excited about.

Upon closer inspection, I found this little gem.  It has two of my favorite elements:  a geometric motif, and a motif with motion all in one.

I chose to do it in its original color, brown, and also in red.  I love each version so much!  This kind of print is very hard to come by, so I was very excited to find it, and use it in Redwood Cupboard.  

I hope you like it, too!

IN THE STUDIO....I am working on a new Block of the Month for 2024.  It takes one year to make a BOM program, beginning with the fabric.  The quilt is designed, so I'm choosing all of the fabrics now.  Can you believe it takes that long?  But....I'm super excited about it.  After that I have two more new collections on my design board and want to get them into Marcus Fabrics before Lily's Locket arrives at my doorstep. 

That's what's new here.  Keep your needle busy and your heart content.  Be well, my friends.
