Well here I go just tooting my own horn,
I. am. ecstatic. seriously.
I about fell on the floor.
well not today...
but the day I found out.
I couldn't have been more surprised.
really.
I feel like I have been holding this secret for ages. In fact, one of the quilts has been made since January! Anyhow, I am psyched to finally show them.

Flight of Geese was designed very near Spring Quilt Market.
What a crazy time that was!
I was very happy that the great peeps at Meredith had a 'secret sewer' to sew this for the magazine.
The resulting quilt is amazing and scrappy.
I love it.
*****************************************************
And then there was Botany....
a fabric line that turned into a delicious surprise for me.
and this hello yellow quilt.
"Hello Yellow" is absolutely perfect for a layer cake or 2.
This sews up quickly like 3-4 hours.
I designed this with tweens in mind.
Great visual impact with a simple shape.
I can see this quilt made with any Moda layer cake.
I think that's what's so cool about it.
What do you think? would you make them?
Tell me,
tell me,
feedback is greatly appreciated :)

p.s. {yes my pictures were ahem 'borrowed' from the Fat Quarter Shop as I don't have my magazine yet...thanks Kimberly :) }
I love Hello Yellow... I just ordered a layer cake from Missouri Star Quilt this morning. It was their deal-of-the-day... This would be a great pattern for it... How big would one layer cake make?
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS on your cover quilt! How exciting!! Both gorgeous quilts but Hello Yellow really speaks to me (it says, "hello..."). :-) You're right, great visual impact. Congrats again!
ReplyDeleteWahoo! Congratulations!

Congratulations! Another celebrity is born! Love the flying geese, always a fan of scrappy! The Hello Yellow looks like it might be the perfect quilt for a dorm room bed?? If so, then the layer cake idea would be a winner...just find the right combo and it would be certain success! Love 'em both...done good!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Vickie! How fun!! I love the scrappy geese, I could see me making it and Hello Yellow would be perfect for a dorm room. Love them both!

WOW!!! Congrats to you! How fun is that! Can't wait to buy a copy for myself!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely big news---how many quilters can say they are cover girls! Wonderful, wonderful happenings. I love the colors in the flying geese quilt and bet it is more gorgeous in person but it is hard to tell how big it is. I like the Hello Yellow a LOT. The wedges are a fun new way to get lots of variety in piecing. Yay for you!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! how exciting
ReplyDeleteGood for you! The quilts are gorgeous. I'm looking forward to buying this magazine! Sure wish I could talk them into subscriptions for it!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! I would NOT be able to keep it a secret for that long!! I would make Hello Yellow. I think it's a great design. If I did it in the right fabrics, it would be fun for my husband! Oh, now I have to hunt down QnM magazine!!

ReplyDeleteI love both quilts! I can see Hello Yellow in Christmas fabrics, and it will give me a great excuse to buy one of those new layer cakes! And your Flight of Geese quilt is just the thing for my scrap stash! I love the autumn colors... When does the magazine hit the stores?
ReplyDeleteI love the hello yellow quilt!
ReplyDeleteand the flying geese quilt would be lovely in another colourway--I don't love scrappy... but I think it would be stunning in a thought out colour plan--however probably not how you envision your design as you say you love the scrappiness :)
VICKIE!! Congratulations!!!!! *Happy Clapping for you* How exciting!!!
ReplyDeleteWho wouldn't love a layer cake quilt? Gotta love Hello Yello and Flight of geese...fabulous.

ReplyDeleteSo I just got the magazine tonight and am heading downstairs to enjoy it...Congrats again!
ReplyDeleteI now have the fall issue of "Quilts & More" and LOVE your fall quilt. Actually, if I was not already overloaded with unfinished projects, a few of which I HAVE to finish, and soon, I'd be cutting fabrics for this one now!
ReplyDeleteAs autumn is my favorite season, I have quite a stash of the fabrics I'll need to make this beauty.
Earlier this week, hubby and myself went to Frankenmuth, MI (famous for their chicken dinners) and discovered a new quilt shop there. That is where I bought the new "Quilts & More" plus some gorgeous fabrics.
Happy quilting!
Karen
Congratulations! The cover quilt is gorgeous. I just picked up this magazine the other day and was drooling over it. You are very talented!!
