Summer has settled in with temps topping 100- way too often as far as I'm concerned. So what better way to stay cool than to surround myself with some of my favorite cool colored fabrics. They are refreshing and calming amidst all the heat. The fabrics in this quilt remind me of a gentle rain in a lush green garden. I think of hanging gardens and cascading water. Thus was born Cascade . . . another SpringLeaf Studios quilt pattern. I'm excited to share this pattern with all of you because it has so many possibilities. The pattern features two different versions; A Scrappy version and a modern take on the ZigZag. Plus 7 additional optional looks . . . all from the same design. This is the Scrappy version and features fabrics from Kaffe Fassett and Michael Miller. It's perfect for layer cakes, fat quarters and of course large scraps. One of my favorites so far because it feels so refreshing. Here's the ZigZag version featuring Kona Cotton solids. This version also works great with prints. I have to admit this is my first all solids quilt, but it won't be my last. There's a calmness about these solids that is very soothing to me. I have so much fun designing quilts. Each time I create a new design I'm always exploring what would happen if I tried this or that. What if I arranged the blocks this way? What if the emphasis is changed? What if this? What if that? Sometimes it's very hard to stop experimenting and actually get to work making the quilt. I need little elves to sew for me... that would be so cool. When I decided to start publishing my quilt designs it seemed like a natural choice to include all these explorations in each pattern. I've never been one to follow patterns exactly as they come. A little change here or there. I'll bet a lot of you feel the same. I really want the Design Explorations page provided in my patterns to inspire you to make a quilt the way you want. Not only with fabrics that you love but also with a flare that makes you feel like it's your very own. Here's what the Explorations page looks like. Here's a few other versions of Cascade I've made to give you an idea of how it looks in other fabrics and arrangements. Hope they inspire. Cascade ZigZag made with large scale prints from Kaffe Fassett and Michael Miller. A mini quilt was made from the trimmed leftovers. Cascade made using a checkerboard arrangement of fabrics. Cascade made using a concentric ring arrangement of fabrics. A pillow made from the trimmed leftovers. The pattern gives detailed directions for the pillow. So here's what included: Cascade gives directions and yardage for 2 different versions; Scrappy and ZigZag. It includes 3 sizes; baby, lap/twin, and double/queen. A bonus pillow project is included that's made from the trimmed leftovers of the quilt. Or you can make a mini like I did with the leftovers. And of course it includes the Design Lesson and Exploration sections to inspire you. Cascade is available on Craftsy and in my Etsy shop. Hope you'll give it a look. I'd really love to know what you think. Please leave me a comment and tell me which version is your favorite. Stay cool . . . and quilt on. Anne

Have you ever looked at a photo in a magazine of an "Artist's Studio" and it is clean, neat, and organized... and you think "that is NOT a working studio!" !? I know I do. I also know that I would LIKE my studio to be clean, neat, and organized but it never lasts. I can clean, or I can create. I just can't do both at the same time. THIS is what my studio looks like this morning.

Chuck Close self-portrait Chuck Close Chuck Close at work via Hijaktaffairs tumblr Chuck Close via Cave to Canvas Chuck Close Chuck Close self portrait Chuck Close via We Outran the Sun Chuck Close technique via Artaic Chuck Close up close--via blog.Magnolia Editions The amazing American contemporary painter and photographer, Chuck Close, became known for his photorealistic, massive-scale portraits. In 1988 a spinal artery collapse left him severely paralyzed, but he continued to paint--and developed his signature pixalated portraits. Close also suffers from a condition called prosppagnosia, face blindness, where he is unable to recognize faces. Painting portraits helps him to recognize faces--pretty darn amazing! Have you ever noticed that many people have names that match what they do?
How about taking a break for a few minutes and wandering with me to see some pretty art studios? Romantic, creative spaces that seem like they’re pulled from a dream or movie fantasy, art studios are the stuff of which dreams are made.
