More Meadow Mist Designs Kits at Connecting Threads

I am excited to show you today some designs I have created for Connecting Threads kits over the last few months.  I usually start my designs in blacks and whites and then add in colors and prints, so working with Connecting Threads and starting with fabric collections has been a fun challenge.

Here are all of my designs offered as both kits right now (which contain all of the quilt top and binding fabrics) and as digital patterns:

Have you ever purchased a quilt kit or do you prefer to pick your own fabrics?

  3. Congratulations with your Connecting Threads partnership. I have purchased several kits and love that the fabric selection has already been made and it saves me from doubting myself on my fabric selections. Indecision can be my middle and first name some days! I have purchased kits from Connecting Threads and have always been pleased with the quality of the fabrics. I love the kits you have designed and could purchase every single one without any hesitation. Great job! Thanks for sharing this news. Nadine W. rnwillis@velotech.net

  4. What fun! I don’t usually purchase kits - just because I love selecting fabric and am still recovering from working in a quilt store. My collection is varied in that much of it is not coordinated, so that being said, I think it is a great opportunity and perfect for so many reasons - a quilt ready to go and get done fast is the best reason. However, you as a designer could definitely push me over the edge of needing a ready to go project in my closet!

  5. I've never purchased a quilt kit. I do like choosing my own fabrics. On occasion, I have been tempted to buy an "on sale" quilt kit, but with the purpose of using the fabric within. I have not bought much fabric from CT. Will have to try again. Since shipping is free to canada with $85, this helps alot. All of your patterns look wonderful in their fabrics. Did you choose or did CT?

  6. Wow! How fun to see this variety of kits for your gorgeous patterns. I didn't know you had this relationship with CT. Very cool Cheryl!! They all look great. Love the Plaid Plus version.

  7. I really love your patterns ... I don't buy kits as I do like using my own fabric. It's more personal and usually fit my funky style. I do buy patterns, though, and have some of yours. Love what you do and your choices of color.Thank you for sharing your talent ... I have used CT, btw. Their sale prices are great and they have a great selection of fabric.

  9. I have purchased a couple of kits. Also, I have a few of your patterns and I do shop at Connecting Threads. I need to get some of my current projects completed now and then start shopping again. Beautiful fabric at CT.

  10. I'm delighted to see so many wonderful designs of yours. I would love to buy kits, but usually can't spend that much money at one time. I had a best friend who ALWAYS bought kits for the quilts she liked. She liked them because of the fabric, usually, and it saved her having to track down those same ones. These are all beautiful fabric choices for the patterns!

  11. You've designed some great kits! I prefer to pick my own fabrics for projects. I have bought a copule of kits on sale, but only because I wanted the fabrics and not necessarily the project.
