I’m so excited about the latest Ingrid Barlow quilting pattern!  This is Fiddlesticks!!  An easy pattern for any level quilter/sewer.  My sample is the lap size, 41″x54,” and it really sewed up fast.

This was the sneak peek that I showed on my Facebook page:  Ingrid Barlow–Modern Traditionalist…

Sneaky aren’t I?

You can totally just use scraps you have, or better yet, make an excuse to take a trip to your local quilt shop and find awesome fabric that you can’t resist!!   Oh, I do like that idea.  I can’t wait to make another sample out of Aneela Hoey’s latest “a walk in the woods.”

I quilted it on my sewing machine with my walking foot.  I did simple boxes all around the individual squares.  Then to add some whimsy, I quilted one word in the middle of my boxes.  Does that make sense?  Does the picture explain it better?

I used the fabric in my quilt as the inspiration for the words.  Dogs, cats, fish, turtles…

I had so much fun with this quilt!  This sample will eventually be for little Elias, but I will also be making one for myself.  You know, Christmas is coming…need a gift to stitch up for someone???  How about a gift for a sewing friend??  I think they might like Fiddlesticks…

Patterns are now available at local quilt shops!!  If yours does not carry it, pass along my contact info and I will be happy to send some their way.   If you don’t have a local quilt shop, I can always send you a pattern directly.  Send me an email or give me a call!
