The Rosecity Quilt Pattern is available now! So far I have shared all about my Floral Baby one. If I had to pick a favorite from all my samples it would probably be this one. The Ruby + Bee solids sample. It is just SO GOOD. For a little background on the Ruby + Bee Solids - it is a color collaboration for Windham Fab

Since I am still Bernina-less, I have decided to work this weekend on liberated (or wonky) quilt blocks. I'm having trouble getting an accurate 1/4" seam on my backup machine and I figure the seam size doesn't have to be perfectly exact with this type of block. The above square is an improvis

I think this the 2nd or 3rd quilt I made around Bonnie Christine's Hello, Bear line. I love it. It is whimsical and modern and sort of neutral, with pops of color, and so fun! I'd had the idea to make a 2/3s economy block quilt for a bit. In the traditional economy block, the center piece is a square, set into a diamond, set into a square. In my version, the center was a diamond, set in a square. There might actually be a name for this type of block, I just don't know of one. Here is a close up of the blocks. I added sashing in between the columns to make it a bit wider. The creamy flecked fabric in the background, Firefly, might be one of my very favorite low volume prints ever. Aside from the softness that the cream adds, there is the actual silky softness that is the staple of Art Gallery fabrics. I really like how it turned out. I decided to back it with another print from the hello, bear line, because it is just so perfect!! And I decided to quilt it minimally, just around the diamonds. You can see it well on the back above. I was unsure of binding it in the black cotton + steel sprinkle fabric, but I am so glad I did. I feel like it adds a cool dimension to the quilt. I definitely think I will make another 2/3s economy block quilt again. haha!

Calm and composed, this evocative piece captures the essence of Dunbar Harbour with a minimalist touch. The print features a serene composition of boats gently bobbing on the subtle ripples of the tranquil waters. Strokes of cool blues and whites dominate the palette, evoking a sense of the crisp, fresh marine air of East Lothian. The boats, rendered with sharp, clean lines and solid blocks of colour, are anchored in a harmony of geometric simplicity, conveying both stillness and grace. The buildings standing sentinel around the harbour are depicted with an economy of detail, their silhouetted forms providing a stark, elegant backdrop to the maritime scene. Light and shadow are cleverly used to create depth and interest, highlighting the angular shapes of the architecture and the sleek outlines of the vessels. This print, a part of the 'Scottish Harbours' collection, speaks to the heart, offering a modern yet timeless interpretation of Scotland's coastal beauty. It invites the viewer to savour a moment of peace, a snapshot where the world seems to stand still before the grandeur of the sea and the silent tales of the vessels that navigate its vastness.
