Feeling refreshed and inspired after a trip to @thefestivalofquilts on Friday 👏🏻 after a month where I pretty much lost my sewjo, this past week I've made a mini quilt, a wall hanging and a quilt top, and got the pieces cut and test blocks sorted for my first #freshlysqueezedquilt 🍊 But because I was too busy gleefully sewing to take any good snaps, here's a cheery closeup of my Bright Spark quilt from @lovequiltingmag to tide you over 😉🌈🍦 Do you guys ever lose your quilty motivation? What do you do to get it back?!

It's Wednesday in the UK now so I can finally share a quilt that has been around such a long time waiting to be shared lol. This awesomeness is available in issue 77 of @lovequiltingmag out now. I used the absolutely fantastic fabric called #cloverhollowfabric by @aquiltinglife and @chelsistratton for @modafabrics whose beautiful fabric make my designs shine. Thank you. Thanks @lovequiltingmag fir the amazing pics.

Wrapping up our #SimpleGeometricQuilting Squares + Rectangles Week with the Hill Country Queen Quilt ❤️💙 I love how sweet and simple this quilt is - reminds me of all those cute lil towns that dot the Texas Hill Country 🤗 And if you've ever been in central Texas in the springtime, these colors will look very familiar. Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrushes dot the roadsides all over Texas (thanks to the efforts of Lady Bird Johnson and her Highway Beautification Act 🙏) and turn the countryside into a wild garden 💐 Based on the traditional nine path block but modernized with large-scale squares and solid colors, this queen size quilt comes together surprisingly quickly and looks great on a bed 😍 P.s. Are y'all catching on that there's 5 projects in each geometric section that range in size (pillow, wall hanging, crib, throw and queen)? I wanted to give you lots of options 😘 Stay tuned for next week's projects: Triangles!

Who loves orange soda? Lorna loves orange soda! 🍊🥤 It's issue 78 of @lovequiltingmag's special day, and I can FINALLY show off this giant I made earlier this year. Orange Soda is made with the 6in Orange Peel templates that come with the mag and is large enough to keep bigfoot warm (we're talking 84in square, people!). I used @rashida_coleman_hale's lust-worthy Pop! fabrics for @rubystarsociety and @modafabrics Bella Solids, and did my very best restraining to stop myself from hording them in a 'stroke-only' pile... anyone relate?! 🙋🏼♀️

The more tidying up I do the more unfinished projects I find that need completing...this is one that definitely needs completing as it sums me up to a T...colours...fabric choices...simplicity of piecing. Now to find the time to get it done... *** #karenlewistextiles #blueberryparkfabric #waysidefabric #robertkaufman #surfacepatterndesign #surfacepattern #creating #crafting #patchwork #quilttop #quilt #modernquilt #design #pattern #screenprintedfabric #handprintedfabric #handprinted #screenprinted #quilting #patchwork #sewing #surfacepattern #surfacepatterndesign #ninepatch #ninepatchquilt

There's a new @lovequiltingmag out, and I've got some curves in there! I enjoyed the repetition in this quilt, and the thrill of watching that repetition turn into a big bloom of crimson and pink on my design wall. Paper templates are included in the magazine, but I used my 6" acrylic templates from @bettycrockerass when I made mine. Fabric is all #essexlinen from @robertkaufman, and it's quilted with a mix of 40wt, 50wt, and the 3-ply 40wt @aurifilthread to match the colors of fabrics. #lovepatchworkandquilting #curvedpiecing #drunkardspath #modernquilt #AurifilArtisan #aurifilthread #modernquilt #robertkaufman #patchworkquilt #lappeteknikk #proudinnovian #innovalongarm

Today I am finally sharing my finished quilt for @thequiltersguild Spotlight@40 collection!! I was chosen to represent my region (16 - Scotland) to make a quilt with the theme 40. This quilt is destined for a special exhibition at @thefestivalofquilts and will then become part of the Guild's permanent collection. 💕 💕 💕 I should have posted about this quilt 3 weeks ago when I thought I had finished it, but then I discovered I had made a terrible error 🙀!! Read all about it's roller coaster ride to fruition in my latest blog post (link in bio) - it's quite a story! 💕 💕 💕 '40 Layers of Quilting' uses a range of techniques, including improv, Freehand Foundation piecing, needle-turn appliqué, hand quilting and more. I also used a range of @aurifilthread to piece and quilt, including 50wt, 12wt and 80wt. 💕 💕 💕 Many more close up photos and details on the blog! 🧵 🧵 #spotlight40quilt #spotlightquilt #spotlight40 #joavery #imintheguild #qgbimoderngroup #qgbi #festivalofquilts2019 #foq #artquilt #saqaeurope #saqaart #improvpiecing #aurifil #aurifildesigner

Say hello to the Digital Wave quilt 👋👾🌊 out today in the latest issue of @lovequiltingmag 🥳🍉☀️ These colors make me want to go sunbathe at my favorite beach, sesh-out on Honey Kiss Melon, and listen to some surf rock. Can you guess which traditional block this design is based on???
