Old Mill Pond Is Ready!!

I'm just delighted to finally be able to introduce you to one of two new quilt designs featuring my newest fabric collection, Old Green Calicos, for Marcus Fabrics, called Old Mill Pond.

When I designed this collection, I was in a mood for peaceful, restful and comforting fabrics in cozy colors.  The living room in my home is all done in soft greens and blues, and is a favorite place for me to read and stitch.  The walls are a warm beige with old fashioned stencils,  and the lighting is very soft.    Inspiration struck and Old Green Calicos came to be.  

Prairie life always inspires me, and when the early settlers sought to homestead, receiving a land parcel near water was, of course, a prize for many reasons.   Thinking those thoughts, and about the blue and green colors, a picture like this came to mind.  Can you see yourself in a comfy chair gazing at this scene?  I sure could.  The colors and serenity inspired the name for the quilt....Old Mill Pond.

In a previous post, I showed you photos of the gorgeous quilting on this quilt, by Valerie Langue.  Now that the quilt is done, and photographed, the patterns are ready to go.

As I've done before, I'm offering a kit at a special discounted price for a limited time.  

By pre-ordering, you can be assured of having all of the original fabrics in your quilt, available as soon as they arrive.  The quilt will be exactly like mine!  

Along with the pre-order is special pricing, with a discount on shipping, and FREE PATTERN!

Pre-Order your Old Mill Pond quilt kit no later than January 29th to take advantage of this special offer!!   Click here to read all of the details and place an order.  The kit and pattern will ship in early February, just as soon as the fabrics arrive.

My Old Green Calicos fabric collections are arriving soon at your local quilt shop, so please ask for them on your next visit!!  

Wishing you a year of creativity and inspiration....

Introducing Old Mill Pond!

This is a first look at my newest quilt called Old Mill Pond.  

I just got it back from the quilter and it's about to be trimmed for the binding.  "The Quilter" in this case is my friend and quilt shop owner, Valerie Langue, of The Quilt Merchant .  I took most of the photos without a flash or inside lighting to show off Val's gorgeous work!

I don't have a full photo of the quilt until the binding is on, but just had to share these quilting pictures with you.  

I'm hoping you can kinda see what the quilt looks like from all the photos.  

Old Mill Pond was  superbly pieced by my dear friend, Debbie McClarence, and features all of the fabrics from my newest collection, called Antique Cotton Calicos ~ Old Green Calicos, for Marcus Fabrics, of course!

Antique Cotton Calicos is a new series of fabric collections for me, and Old Green Calicos is the first in the series.  There's another already in production!  So exciting!!

The Old Green Calico fabrics will arrive at your local quilt shop in January, so be sure to ask for them there!

The Old Mill Pond pattern will be ready very soon.  I will offer a kit for it, as well as Fat Quarter and Fat Eighth bundles once the bolts arrive here as well.  

There will also be a 10" precut pack for this collection, and I've designed a separate throw quilt with it, called Evening Shade, so stay tuned for info about quilt soon as well.

Last call asking for you to send me a photo of your Tucker quilt!!!  Photos have been arriving each week and I'd really love to see YOURS!!!!  Remember, it doesn't have to be quilted!!  Tops are just fine, but please do send me a photo!
