Happy Saturday Morning Everyone!…Are you decking your halls today? Are you shopping? Are you Stitching? So much to do…right? But make sure you get some of those things crossed off the list today!!!
Quilter’s always need Fabric..and I just happen to have a new line coming out in January.
Indigo Gatherings...is blue and white, not bright white but cream which I consider white. Everyone loves blue and white quilts…It is the most sought after in the collecting of antique quilts…and there is a lot of buzz with blue and white right now…Houston just had a big blue and white quilt show…There is a Blue & White book coming out this month by Lissa Alexander by Martingale.
We are going to put all our Indigo quilt kits 10% off, Patterns $1.00 off and the pre cuts 20% off!. The discount will be taken at the end when you check out…and please make sure the Indigo Gatherings is the only thing on your order in your cart at the time of check out…They will ship probably 3rd week in January. And hopefully they will be on time! Thank you!
And..before I get too far into Indigo Gatherings…I just want to announce that Moda Block Heads 3 is starting in January and I am going to let you in a little secret before I announce to the 30,000 subscribers in the Moda Block Heads Facebook group that I will be using Indigo Gatherings and Urban Farmhouse Gatherings in my MBH3 project! MBH3 will be different because….you can choose what size blocks to make…4,6,8 or 12″ blocks…I will be making 4″ and using Layer cakes of both lines. If you want to make the two bigger size blocks I would get FQs..the middle sizes you probably can use F8s. Just making sure you have first chance at the precuts coming in or what have left of Urban Farmhouse Gatherings. I am going to mix them together to come up with another great quilt for you all…and this is all I can reveal at this time…no blocks yet! Jan 15 MBH3 starts!
But back to Indigo Gatherings
Here are the quilt kits we have made with Indigo Gatherings…
Blue Monday…This 40″ quilt can be a baby quilt or a table quilt. You can make it blue with a white star or cream with a blue star…which one do you like best? The two quilt kits are different because there are only 10 light and 30 blue so that makes a difference in how they are kitted. Trust me on this.
Oshkosh– means “on the water” I live on the outskirts of Oshkosh and love how we made the storm at sea blocks with ease…this quilt is made of several units…when all the units are done…stitch them together and we have a gorgeous quilt!
Indicon…The scrappy quilt uses all 40 skus in the line…It looks hard but really it is not…it is made in 4 different blocks…and the four blocks put together make this fabulous quilt. It can be used on a bed or as a lap quilt…
Deep Blue...This fun quilt starts out with a block and then we just surrounded it with every fabric in the line again….but there’s a secret way to put this together …and it’s not one at a time! This quilt is a Moda kit and it comes in a beautifully designed box!
Indiana Indigo…is a complex looking project that really is just a bunch of Half Square Triangles and then another unit with squares on point and then stitched together with some sashing strips and we end up with this little masterpiece…This project again is super scrappy using every fabric in the group…
Baeyer Star…Is named after the Johan…who won the Nobel Prize for his work with Indigo dyes…where would us Americans be without our bluejeans? Here he is…just a little history lesson…
Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Adolf von Baeyer (German: [ˈbaɪɐ]; 31 October 1835 – 20 August 1917) was a German chemist who synthesised indigo,[1]developed a nomenclature for cyclic compounds (that was subsequently extended and adopted as part of the IUPAC organic nomenclature). He was ennobled in the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1885 and was the 1905 recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
I love this quilt on my bed…it is simple and cool at the same time….The quilt is just 16 big star blocks and then pieced border is the same FG unit as the star block…
We could not have a photo shoot without Jeter doing his job of quilt model….here he is in one of his fine poses…
and best of all…Kali who helps me with the photography is on leave with Baby #4 Drew…and…he came along with Mama, and of coarse he had to test drive the baby quilt! Meet Baby Drew…he has a beautiful head of dark hair and blue eyes that are staying blue! Must have been that Indigo dye doing it’s thing…
Trust me Grandma, Auntie, GiGi, Mimi and Nana’s. what every your name or title is…this quilt is perfect! Don’t you just want to wrap him up and rock him…just for a little while?
also..last but not least…Indigo Gatherings precuts are on sale as well!!! They all are 20% off and are preorders…They will be coming in January and we are thinking that if you order for your MBH3 they will just be a week or so late…so not too bad…Here are all the precuts offered.
Please leave a comment to win some Indigo Gatherings precuts on January 1st!!!
What is your greatest accomplishment as a quilter/stitcher?
I can’t wait to read these…All for now…Come back tomorrow for another Needful Thing…Lisa
