It was easy to fall in love with all of Karen Walker's
quilt designs when I discovered her creativity on Etsy
two years ago. Karen is a quilt blogger and long arm
quilter turned quilt designer
--- her company is LAUGH YOURSELF INTO STITCHES
--- what a fun name.
You'll want to check out her blog at
chezstitches.blogspot.com.
Anyway, I immediately asked if I could buy patterns from
her and start some quilt samples for the big show we
had planned to do in Kansas City in 2017.
(Yes, I was working over a year ahead for the Kansas City
Regional Quilt Festival, which by the way,
will be held again next year in June of 2019.)
You can't imagine how excited I was to have the
opportunity to meet Karen in person this past May at
Quilt Market in Portland, OR.
Here's a photo of Karen and me in the Andover Fabrics
booth where quilts were hanging, created with my
new Harvest Moon and Haunting fabrics.
After Quilt Market Karen sent me an illustration of a
new quilt design she's working on for fall and asked
if I would like for her to use my new fabrics
--- absolutely --- what an honor.
Can't wait to see Karen's finished quilt design
<hint><hint> with black crows, of course
--- black crows made with my new Harvest Moon blacks.
(Karen on the right and I'm on the left.)
Need'l Love has some exclusive KITS for two of Karen's
pattern included.
Color planned by Renée Nanneman & Becky Cogan
using 32 great fall fabrics. All the same fun prints
& binding are included in our kit ... We love SCRAPPY ...
Can you tell?
The background fabric is a yummy Diamond Textiles
woven and you'll love the color.
SPECIALLY PRICED AT $69.95 with pattern included.
The happy quilt's background is a print from my
Tender Romance collection for Andover Fabrics.
The sunflowers are created with 12 different gorgeous
golden yellow/gold fabrics. You will love the "log cabin"
centers of the sunflowers.
And for a burst of color try some ...
If you liked the Haunting quilt shown in the our photo
above, you'll want a quilt kit so you can make one too!
--- $99.95 and the pattern is included.
HAUNTING ... Here's my new Halloween fabric collection
with a 1930's vintage Halloween feel.
I hope you enjoy upcoming summer holiday weekend.
Thank you for following Need'l Love & for loving my fabrics!
Proud to be an Andover Fabrics designer!
Creatively yours,Renee Nanneman
