QUICK & EASY QUILTS

After months of staying home, I am ready for something fresh and new, and I’ll bet you are too! Fons & Porter has started a brand spanking new publication, QUICK & EASY QUILTS, and this fun, fresh, and new publication is bound to put a spring in your step.

The premiere issue is coming in August/September. Inside you’ll find 12 fresh projects that are not only Accessible to Beginners but Appealing to All Quilters and guess who has a project inside…

All of the Star-Studded Designers in this issue include:

Victoria Findlay Wolfe @VictoriaFindlayWolfe
Charisma Horton @CharismaHorton
Kimberly Jolly @itssewemma and @fatquartershop
Abigail Dolinger @aby.quilts
Geraldine Wilkins @LivingWaterQuilter
Jen Daly @JenDalyQuilts
Mary Hertel @MadebyMarney (me!)
Scott Flanagan @ScottAlanFlanagan
Nancy Mahoney @NancyMahoney
Reed Johnson @BlueBearQuilts
Ramona Sorensen
Gina Reddin @GinaReddin

My Puppy and Kitty Pocket Pillowcase patterns are featured in the issue. This pint-sized pillowcase has a paper pieced pocket that can hold a special surprise for your little one.

A 12″ x 16″ travel pillow fits perfectly in this mini pillowcase. The pocket can hold a toy or book, to entertain your child when you are traveling.

The pockets are paper pieced, and so easy. Make both pillows in no time!

I am so excited to share the news about this new publication. Order your copy HERE and see 11 more stunning projects.

It’s time to dig out my Valentine pillows. I’m looking forward to some chocolate and flowers! Right?

This is a Valentine doggie block I designed in 2019.

This cutie I designed this year…

Wouldn’t these blocks make cute pillows or potholders? I’m going to try to sew them up before Valentine’s Day.

Both patterns can be found in my ETSY SHOP. I’d love to see what you can create using these sweet pups.

The winner of my CARDINAL WALL HANGING pattern is Nancy B. Congrats to her!

Some super sweet customers have been sharing photos of adorable projects they have created using my paper piece patterns. I LOVE to see their fun creations.

Bella is a first time paper piecer. She entered her CORGI quilt in her 4H competition and won first place. I love how she repeated the dog blocks in an Andy Warhol Pop Art inspired composition.

Sharon created this awesome neutral colored Dog and Cat quilt. She has incorporated blocks not only from me, but from lots of designers. This makes the quilt very interesting, since it’s not just one designer’s view point.

This is cuteness overload…Lori has made this adorable dog pillow for her sweet dog, Bear.

I am in love with Jennifer’s festive red, white, and blue Chihuahua!

Here’s a photo of Bella, cutest little Labradoodle ever. This is my girl friend’s pet, and she wants a memory pillow of lovely Bella. Sweet Bella is slowly loosing her eyesight.
