The “Art Journal” collection by J. Wecker Frisch is a standout success, reminding us of our grandmother’s scrapbooks. This striking quilt has an eclectic mix of illustrative styles, which has become the hallmark of Janet Frisch’s work, and the foundation of her worldwide fan base.

The detailed sketchbooks and botanic illustrations were the foundation of 19th Century naturalists, and their precise drawings and paintings described the birds, flowers and insects before photographs took over documentation of species. In many ways these precise illustrations are more descriptive and accurate than photos, which is why we still love this style of rendering of an image.

To make this generous 68″ x 88″ quilt design, you will cut up 3 different panels, then piece together with Solid Parchment Kona sashing, to make the central section. Then add the delicate Butterfly/Moth Journal Stripe, to create the black and white border.

Take a journey to the forest as the Full Moon rises over a distant mountain range, in this week’s exclusive Free Quilt Pattern. This twilight scene captures that magical moment as the sun has set, and the moon is ascending… when the birds fall silent for the night, and the nocturnal creatures come out into the cool evening air.

To make this 57″ x 57″ quilt design, you will start with the 24″ x 44″ scenic panel, featuring a wandering bear in the foreground, a forest reflected in a lake, and a hawk soaring into a starry sky. The side panels are cut from a large scale ombre forest scene that stretches across the selvedge. Use a Stone texture and pale blue Hoffman Hand-Dye to create the illusion of a window floating on a set-in diamond shape background.

Nature-lovers will adore this view onto a wilderness at dusk, with a captivating landscape that stretches to the distant peaks, and beyond…

This delightful collection continues to sell out, and we managed to get the last remaining yardage from the manufacturer. So for those of you who missed out last time – this is it!

“Sweet” – is the word that comes to mind with this Baby Animal artwork by South African designer Clint Eagar. This exclusive Free Quilt Pattern uses 7 fabrics from his “Baby Safari Animals” collection, to create this 56″ x 67″ quilt design.

We love the soft colors of sand, sky and water….but the expressions on the young animals’ faces are just precious. Gently wrap your favorite little person in this charming wildlife quilt for sweet dreams and quiet playtime.

We’re keeping COOL in the shade of this dreamy quilt, capturing a moment of reverie under hanging gardens. This artist Melanie Samra is one of our most popular designers, because of her mastery of this unique painterly technique!

To make this 62″ x 76″ quilt design, you will start with a panel cut from a large scale border print, with leaves and branches hanging down from selvedge to selvedge. You will use 5 coordinates from this alcohol ink collection, plus 1 Hoffman Hand-Dye, to create the pieced border with diamonds on-point.

This quilt reminds us of a Summer’s day, under a weeping willow, with leaves trailing in a slow-moving cool river. What memory does this bring up for you?

Summer is a great time to visit our glorious National Parks, and check them off the travel bucket list. This fantastic digital panel has 63 parks represented in postcard size…to remember past vacations, and plan your future trips around our beautiful country.

To make this 63″ x 81″ quilt design, you will start with the large 54″ x 72″ Park Postcard panel, which is essentially a cheater quilt! Add a Kona Solid, 2 stone textures, and a Hoffman Hand-dye to create the borders. Stitch the central panel on the lines, as you would “stitch in the ditch” on a pieced quilt.
