Meet Hibiscus, new pattern release!

 

 

A very cute panel caught my attention some time ago

and I couldn’t wait to design a new quilt just for it.

 

 

 

This panel is from the Tropical Zoo range, part of the Devonstone Collection from

2 Green Zebras, also has some equally cute matching coordinates,

 

 

Along with some pretty Devonstone Solids.

 

 

To  feature the blocks I framed them with an easy sawtooth border.

Then added the same sawtooth border in a softer Devonstone Solid

in the surrounding blocks.

 

After quilting its time for lots of pics.

Have to have the right weather, not too sunny or windy.

 

 

Pattern now available through all good patchwork stores.

Wildlife Art panels and a new Quilt!


 

How amazing are these Wildlife Art panels. These are the first of a series

and below is the second, Wildlife Art 2 designed by Natalie Jane Parker for

2 Green Zebras.

They are as bright and lifelike as these images portray.

 

 

 

A couple of weeks ago, I was asked to design some quilts using Wildlife Art 1 & 2

along with the coordinates and below are some that I came up with.

 

 

Coolart pattern is about to be released and you have the option to make the

9 or 12 panel quilt. Both sizes and colourways will be included in the pattern.

Ask for it at one of my stockists, listed on the right on this page.

Tilda Plum Garden Designer Showcase!

 

 

Recently I was invited to participate in the Tilda Plum Garden Showcase

along with lots of talented designers sponsored by 2 Green Zebras.

 

This very pretty range was released on the July 1st and is now

readily available from many stores.

 

 

 

Its so hard to choose which one I liked the most as they are all so gorgeous

and as I used each one it became the new favourite.

 

 

 

The coordinates Berry Jam and the Tea Towel Basics are perfect

match not only for your Plum Garden project but for your other Tilda projects.

Keep watching for my project reveals in the coming days here and at @franceslillydesigns.

Road Trip to K & K Warehouse Sale!

Recently we took a road trip to attend Kennard & Kennard

Warehouse sale. I also met one of the very talented designers

of their Australiana fabrics Amanda Brandl it was wonderful to talk about her

current ranges and I look forward to seeing the new ones.

 

 

For some time I have  been working on some new quilt designs

for Kennard & Kennard

using their latest Australiana fabric ranges.

These fabrics are gorgeous and I can’t wait

to start making them up. I’ve also seen some of the new ranges coming

and have many new designs on the drawing board.

Contact Kennard & Kennard if you wish to purchase

any of the patterns below.

You can also view them on my pattern page.
