A Fresh look at Best Friends

On the weekend we travelled to Devonport for Stake Conference and on the way I had to stop into Fresh Fabric in Deloraine to look for some fabric for my latest designs. 

While I was there I noticed Selina's beautiful version of my quilt 'Best Friends' that she has made using Riley Blake fabric from Deena Rutter's Happier collection. 

The quilt looks fantastic in person (well worth the trip to Deloraine to check it out) and the fabrics and colours are so bright and fresh. 

To purchase the kit of this version of 'Best Friends' (with most of the cutting done for you) contact Fresh Fabric or Picture Patchwork but be quick as it has proven quite popular.

'Best Friends' - New Quilt Pattern

Introducing... 'Best Friends'.


This quilt is especially dear to me as the quote describes the relationship my twin sis and I have together-

Everyone has a special friend, someone who is always there when times get tough and who knows you better than anyone else. This quilt was designed for my best friend who is always looking out for me, and who knows me so well that she can sing 'the song in (my) heart' back to me when I 'have forgotten the words'.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the new Kate Spain Central Park fabric range and have been getting into using jellyrolls of late so I had to use the Kate Spain Jelly roll in this quilt. I think the colours are so fun and cheerful! The quilt features an embroidered panel and raw edge appliqué allowing you to have fun with a variety of quilting techniques.

And why not use some of the jellyroll off cuts to make a cute backing for your quilt?

'Best Friends' is on display at Esmes in Kings Meadows.  Jellyrolls/fabrics are available at Esmes (fabric and jellyroll), Patchworks Plus (jellyroll) and The Oz Material Girls (fabric)
