The Pattern Basket: My Big News!!

A secret I have been keeping for months and months is finally ready to come out. I'm thrilled to introduce you to my first fabric collection,

"Butterfields"

When Henry Glass contacted me and asked if I would be interested in designing a fabric line with them, the answer was easy ...YES! YES!! YES!!!

With six different patterns in three colors ways each, Butterfields is made up of 18 fabrics.

I’ve also designed a complimentary (free) pattern to accompany Butterfields. This pattern offers two different versions of the same design. One is called Color Burst and the other is called Sparkle. It’s the same block, but depending on the fabric placement the look is completely different.

I’m going to be busy designing many more new quilt patterns with Butterfields. I’m REALLY excited about my first collection and I’ll have lots of new quilt designs to share with you soon.

Color Burst

Sparkle

Butterfields will be out in Quilt shop May 2012.

It can be pre-ordered through

Henry Glass Fabrics

P.S. I will post a link to the free pattern as soon as it's avaliable.
