Pat Sloan: What do you think of posting my Podcast a new day?

I am thinking of posting the Radio show after the podcast is available..

I'd post on Tuesday AND include the player right here on my blog! That way you can listen right here because it's available.

What do you think? Do you like that idea?

Pat Sloan: Little Wishes Pattern

My 'One for You, One for Me' fabric line is arriving at stores and it's SO EXCITING! Bolts bolts bolts! I designed several quilts and over the next few days I'm going to show you more photos of them.. close ups and details! Plus I have other colorways in digital form.. Let's get to it!

Little Wishes is one of my favorites. I love the BIG block which makes up quickly and shows off your favorite fabrics!

This is our photo shoot set up for the cover. The shipping Department has asked that I make cover quilts a bit smaller.. this is BIG.. wink! (CLICK HERE for the pattern)

how about the quilting? This was done by Cindy and Dennis Dickerson of Pink Paw Quilting studio http://www.pinkpaw.com/ ... They have been my friends for a long time and do a wonderful job with my quilts. 

I love a baptist fan design and this one has it in the border! and look at the inner border design.. yummy.. right?

The 2nd quilt I made has another whole set of fabrics. I used one of the very light Grunge to set them.. I think it's called Ice.  This is quilted by Shelly Pagliai of Prairie Moon http://prairiemoonquilts.com/

She did customer quilting on each of the blocks.. then this overall for the background, i really love it as I love dense quilting.

Another great view of the quilting!

Shelly has also done a lot of my quilts. 

To show you how this pattern looks in other colors... 

Red and Aqua, with a Navy center. The background is a pattern. It will also look great with a more tonal or a solid. 

And a little collage!! with borders.. or without! I know some people LOVE a great border to show off their fabric fabric!

Roberta made this version and added little squares in the corner stones, those are super cute!

Quilt Designer Kim Lapacek loves to inspire and encourage us to quilt to follow our dreams. Her fabric choices are amazing, she put together fabrics many of us wouldn't think to use and her quilts just sing. In 2010 she started 'Project Quilting' and you'll learn all about that today!
