I am so happy to be the blog kicking off Pat Sloan's new fabric line for Benartex called Gratitude and Grace. It is a great collection of greens, blues, and oranges (and the plaid prints are fabulous!!).
Hint, hint - this post is long but there may be a super awesome fabric giveaway at the end...
WELCOME
If you are visiting my blog for the first time, welcome! I'm Cheryl, a chemical engineer that writes patents during the day and quilts and sews at night. I live in South Carolina with my husband, two high school aged children, and 4 cats.
I love the online community and host a yearly free mystery quilt, have an active Facebook group, and create modern traditional quilt patterns. I hope that you will join me! You can sign up for my newsletter here to keep up with all of the happenings.
Marble Mystery - my current (and tenth annual) free monthly mystery quilt along. I even offer a sneak peek of the design :)
CATHEDRAL WINDOW PINCUSIONS USING GRATITUDE AND GRACE FABRICS
Pat asked if we could make something with her fabric and my mind started to think of all of the possibilities, should I make a quilt, bag, or something else? I decided that I wanted to make something that I could use and see everyday in my sewing room, a pincushion :)
I used my
Cathedral Window Pincushion pattern from my shop and started picking out some fabrics. I love this pattern because it is charm pack (5" square) and scrap friendly, you only need (3) 5" squares plus some background fabric to make a pincushion.
To celebrate the release of Pat's collection, I am offering the digital Cathedral Window Pattern on sale now through Friday, November 8th for only
$9.45 (no coupon code needed).
The Gratitude and Grace fabric collection is now available in shops so check out your local quilt shop or online at the Fat Quarter Shop (they have
10" packs,
fat quarter bundles, and
1/2 yard bundles in stock as well as yardages).
Here are each one of the pincushions I made, I love how each highlight the prints from the collection.
QUILT RENDERINGS
I loved Pat's new collection so much that I had to play around with the fabric images to see how it would look in some of my quilt patterns.

Cathedral Window Pincushions (they make excellent swap and holiday gifts) for only
$9.45.
Those fabrics made some beautiful pin cushions. I've had your Cathedral Window pincushions pattern for a while and finally made one from it last month. My daughter got a new to her sewing machine and that was her first ever project. The instructions were really clear, even for someone who had never sewn before. Her top stitching is a little wonky, but it still turned out nicely.

ReplyDeleteIve been following you for a while. I participated in the Macaron Mystery Quilt and recently completed it. I did it in light teals and white. I had it judged and received very nice comments from the judge. This was the first time I did a mystery quilt, first time I had a quilt judged and first time showing it in a quilt show. Your patterns as so easy to follow and the patterns are so different from what you see every day. Love them.
