All in a Row Again. Note Pat Sloan's retro camper row!!! |
Your favorite designers offer patterns in their signature styles to inspire you to create your own quilts, combining rows and "blender rows." Just look at the samples below to see the possibilities!
Evening Stars by Jo Morton, an embroidered bird from Kathy Schmitz, and Tricolor Stars by Lisa Bongean
of Primitive Gatherings. Note the 'blender rows' used in the border and as a spacer.
|
Whooo doesn't love those owls from Deb Strain! Other rows include Flitter Flutter by Stacy Iest Hsu, Picket Fences by Sandy Gervais, Springtime by Corey Yoder, and Stars in Bloom by Sherri McConnell. |
The quilt above demonstrates the use of blender rows, the narrow rows of repeated motifs.
Kathy Schmitz contributed this embroidered bird pattern. Her new book is Stitches from the Harvest, which you can read about here.
The rows can be used to make wall hangings or table toppers. This beach hut row from Sandy Klop of American Jane Patterns is so colorful and fun!
And so are these Barn Quilts from Kate Spain!
There are traditional patterns as well.
Stars and Geese from Betsy Chutchain |
Other contributors include Jo Morton, Janet Clare, Laurie Simpson of Minick and Simpson, Lynne Hagmeier of Kansas Troubles Quilters, Alma Allen of Blackbird Designs, Brenda Riddle of Acorn Quilt & Gift Company, Barbara Groves and Mary Jacobson of Me and My Sister Designs, Karla Eisenach of Sweetwater, and Camille Roskelley of Thimble Blossoms.
Pollen by Jen Kingwell has a modern vibe |
The instructions are top-notch, and there are links to print-ready patterns found online.
In case you need any more motivation to get this book, the royalties from the book are being donated to Give Kids the World Village which helps children with life-threatening illness to enjoy week long, cost-free family vacations.

I received a free ebook from the publisher through Edelweiss in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.
