Does this quilt tickle a familiar part of your brain? It might be because this is the second quilt that Patricia Caldwell has made with this pattern. This one is just as striking as the blue and gold one. I love these quilts so much that I plan to make one for myself. For this version Patricia used the Blue Morpho gradient (discontinued but can be custom dyed) along with Black, Eminence and Cosmos Shades Packs. I might even see bits of a purple Stash packs in there too. Fortunately we can make this quilt because she shared that the block is Floating Stars from Quilting Digest. For sharing, Patricia received a 20% coupon for the shop that's good for 3 months! If you have made anything with my hand dyed fabric I hope you will consider sharing it in the Customer Gallery. The only rule is that projects have to be complete. It doesn't have to be made totally from hand dyed fabric, just include a recognizable amount.

This week's inspiration is this awesome owl and chipmunk by Heidi Kapszukiewicz. She created this for a guild color challenge where she could only use purple, blue and green. She designed it based on creatures in her backyard. She added embellishments with beads, yarn and embroidery. She used Stash Packs in this art quilt. She sent us some detail photos to enjoy. Check out the owl eyelashes. For sharing, Heidi received a 20% coupon for the shop that's good for 3 months!

Maggie Ward made this quilt is part of a four-person group project. They each interpreted Alphonse Mucha's "Moon" painting, each quilter placing her in a different season. Maggie's version represents Autumn. She used the Marrakesh gradient for the background and On The Horizon for the moon.

Before we talk about this beautiful quilt, many of you will notice that it's not a finished project as I require for the gallery. From Patricia's perspective it is finished! She sent it off to her quilter who will bind it and send it directly to the recipient so this is the last possible photo of the quilt for us to see.
Patricia made this quilt for her brother. She used Stash Packs of Sky Blue and Sunset and made the sashing and border from On The Horizon Gradient. I love the way that the sashing blends into the blocks. For sharing, Patricia received a 20% coupon for the shop that's good for 3 months!

Sandi Schadt created this gem using the Bay of Campeche (replaced with Monterey Bay) Gradient and Algae Shades Pack. The dark end of the gradient is at the top and she used the lightest side of the gradient in the tree. Brilliant! Her piece was inspired by hand embroidery made by artist Laura WasIlowski.

I'm so happy to have some new customer work to share with you this week! This beautiful quilt comes to us from Patricia Caldwell. Here's what she had to say about it:
"I have been dreaming about this pattern and decided to draft it out and make it. I know I wanted to do it in purple, black and grey and the Cosmos and Black shade packs worked out perfect! This is hanging in my bedroom." For sharing, Patricia received a 20% coupon for the shop that's good for 3 months!

She created this piece with a Star fabric and the Sunset Stash Pack. It was inspired by large granite rock formations with lots of texture and cracks on the rock and with light streaming into the larger cracks where plant life takes hold and thrives.
