Sunday Stash - November 30th

After a long absence of the postal worker bringing fabric goodness to my house, I have experienced an influx of new fabric.

I received a fat quarter bundle from the Bear Creek Quilting Company for a new quilt and tutorial I will be creating for Bear Creek in February.  My 4 year old daughter took one look at the bundle, exclaimed that she loved it, and then claimed it for her bed.  I am excited for the design and to start working on the quilt as the colors in the collection are wonderful.

I received a layer cake of the Mustang collection from Cotton & Steel from the Fat Quarter Shop to take part in one of their fun new quilt pattern and tutorials coming in January.

I also received some Daysail by Bonnie and Camille for Moda for a new Moda Bake Shop tutorial that will publish mid-January.

A trip to Joann's and 60% off coupon has brought me 16 more yards of Kona White to replenish my supply.

Now I have to start making all of these fabrics into quilts!  Have a wonderful Sunday.

I'm linking up with Sunday Stash with Molli Sparkles.

Looking Glass Blog Hop - Shelley @ The Carpenter's Daughter Who Quilts

Our last but certainly not least stop on the Looking Glass hop is Shelley who blogs over at The Carpenter's Daughter Who Quilts  (www.thecarpentersdaughterwhoquilts.com).

You can get your own copy of Looking Glass in my pattern shop (digital and print versions) and on Etsy. 

Shelley was one of the first wonderful quilty women I made a connection with when I joined the online quilting community.  She has made a number of quilts based off my patterns and has been a wonderful sounding board and quilting friend to me.  I am so happy that she decided to share her wonderful quilts with the world by starting her blog over the summer.

Shelley loves to make bigger quilts and wonderful quilt backings, she made a queen size version of Looking Glass using Comma by Zen Chic for Moda.

Thank you so much Shelley for reviewing for me!

Looking Glass Blog Hop - Debbie

Today I would like to highlight one of my reviewers Debbie who does not have a blog (yet).

Debbie contacted me when I put out a call for pattern reviewers for Looking Glass and I am so glad that I have had the chance to get to know her.

Debbie is a nurse and has been married to her wonderful husband for 36 years. She has two grown children and two grand girls.  Debbie started quilting in 1999 when she stopped in a local quilt shop and signed up for a class.  In addition to quilting she enjoys exercise, especially running having run a half marathon the same year she started quilting.

Debbie used a fat quarter bundle purchased from Pink Castle Fabrics along with a few other fabrics from her stash.  Here is her lap sized version of Looking Glass, I love it!!

Looking Glass Blog Hop - Michelle @ From Bolt to Beauty

The next stop on the Looking Glass Blog Hop is Michelle who blogs over at From Bolt to Beauty.

I met Michelle when she had posted her version of my Candy Circles quilt pattern I had posted on the Moda Bake Shop. I think that she might be my long lost quilting twin, we have very similar tastes in fabrics, I love all of her quilt designs, and we have very similar aged little kids.

Michelle is a self-taught sewist. She loves making bags, pillows, and simple garments. Her hobby turned into a true obsession, however, when she made her first quilt, in the summer of 2013. Now, over a dozen quilts later, she squeezes in time at her sewing machine whenever she can, recording her creative adventures at From Bolt to Beauty. 

You can get your own copy of Looking Glass in my pattern shop (digital and print versions) and on Etsy.

I love Michelle's twist on the spacing of the rows on the front and back of the quilt.  Thank you so much Michelle for reviewing for me!

Looking Glass Blog Hop - Beth @ Cooking Up Quilts

The next stop on the Looking Glass Blog Hop, is Beth who blogs over at Cooking Up Quilts.

I met Beth through the 2014 New Quilt Blogger Blog Hop and she makes some absolutely beautiful quilts and bags.  She is also quickest tester in the country! I am honored to have her pattern test again for me.  She made a wonderful version of Scrappy Tiles which can be found here.

Here are some pictures of her finished baby version of Looking Glass that she is calling Happy Quilt.  I would agree that the quilt is very happy!  I love how she used an extra row of blocks in the quilt backing, it really is a two-sided quilt.

Thank you so much Beth for reviewing for me!

Looking Glass Pattern Release and Blog Hop

I am happy to introduce the Looking Glass Pattern and Blog Hop today!  The pattern is very charm pack and layer cake friendly and contains instructions for baby, lap, twin, and queen sized quilts.

You can get your own copy of Looking Glass in my pattern shop (digital and print versions) and on Etsy.

I had 7 wonderful women test and review the pattern for me and I am so grateful for them. To celebrate all of their wonderful versions of Looking Glass we are going to have a little Blog Hop.  Here is the schedule of the hop:

Friday November 21st: Cheryl @ Meadow Mist Designs  <-- me

Saturday November 22nd: Lin @ Lin's Quilts

Sunday November 23rd: Beth @ Cooking Up Quilts

Monday November 24th: Michelle @ From Bolt to Beauty

Monday November 24th: Anna @ Fresh Dew Drops

Tuesday November 25th: Chelsea @ Patch the Giraffe

Wednesday November 26th: Shauna @ Shauna's World

Friday November 28th: Shelley @ The Carpenter's Daughter Who Quilts

My original version was the baby sized quilt using the Into the Woods collection by Lella Boutique for Moda.  

For the hop, I made a second version, the lap size using some of the red and pink prints from the Greenfield Hill collection by Densye Schmidt for Free Spirit. These fabrics were from my local quilt guild and this quilt will be going to our guild's charity.  I did not have enough of the prints so I added in some Kona ash and coal.
  

I quilted the white areas in a figure 8 design and added some feathers and swirls to the print areas because I just took a feathers class and was looking for an excuse to practice them.

Remember, you can get your own copy of Looking Glass in my pattern shop (digital and print versions) and on Etsy.

Thanks and I hope you enjoy all of the reviews versions over the next week!

If you decide to make anything from a Meadow Mist Designs pattern or tutorial, I hope you will consider adding it to the use the hashtag #LookingGlassQuilt and #MeadowMistDesigns when sharing on Instagram.

100 Blocks Volume 10 Blog Tour

Welcome to my stop on the Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Vol. 10 Blog Tour!

I submitted a block for consideration for the magazine not really thinking that it would be accepted and was so excited when I got an e-mail telling me that Sewing Triangles would be included in Volume 10.

I love to play with half square triangles (HST) and low volume prints for a background so with a little playing I came up with Sewing Triangles.

If you make a bunch of blocks and add a border you can have a lap sized quilt with a great secondary pattern emerging.

Make sure you stop by Quiltmaker's blog, Quilty Pleasures, for some great prizes and a complete list of blog tour participants! 

Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope that you have a chance to check out some of my recent finishes and check out my mystery quilt-a-long :)  If you would like to follow my blog, there are buttons for bloglovin, feedly, and email in the upper right hand part of the blog.

New Colorways of Cracker Lattice at Camelot Fabrics (Free Pattern)

I designed a pattern for Camelot Fabrics (free on their website) back in June of this year and since then, Camelot has produced the pattern in 6 different colorways.  I love seeing a quilt in different colors as the pattern can look so different using different colors, prints, and values.  Here are the 6 colorways offered by Camelot Fabrics as free patterns: (The titles contain links to the patterns.)

1.  London Fog

2.  What’s Cookin’ 

3.  Heavy Metal

4.  Botanical

5.  Elixir

6.  Scented

I hope that if you make a Cracker Lattice quilt that you will consider adding it to the Meadow Mist Designs flickr group :)

Poinsettia Pinwheels for Fat Quarterly Xmas Issue Vol. 10

I have the honor of having contributed to the 19th Issue of Fat Quarterly - Christmas. My design uses solid fabrics and lots of half square triangles to create a fun, modern, and very geometric Xmas quilt.  

I quilted each color area of the quilt using matching colored thread and different designs. You can't really see the quilting in the picture above so here is a closeup of the back of the quilt. There were a lot of threads to bury :)

You can check out a preview of the magazine here to see all of the other Christmas quilty goodness.

I am very happy to link up with Let's Bee Social @ Sew Fresh Quilts and Needle and Thread Thursday @ My Quilt Infatuation. I am also linking up to Link a Finish Friday, Whoop Whoop Friday, Thank Goodness Its Finished Friday, Finish It Up Friday, Fabric Frenzy Friday, and Show Off Saturday @ Sew She Can.
