I asked for photos of quilts made with Atkinson Designs patterns this month for an extra chance at the giveaway. (There's still a lot of April left-- keep sending them in!) This was sent by Andee in Arizona. Andee blogs at Moderndiary.blogspot.com.
Nice Slide Show, Andee!
I thought I'd show you a few of my own quilts made from Atkinson Designs patterns. ALL in-stock Atkinson patterns on my website are on sale this month, by the way.
The first 2 are Lucky Stars. This in one of my favorite patterns. It's so quick to stitch up! The stars "float" which makes piecing a lot quicker (and more forgiving). And Terry's patterns are so well written that it's very straight-forward. The first was made for my DIL when she graduated from high school. She wasn't my DIL yet at that time and it was the first quilt I made for her. If you scroll down several posts, you'll see a pic of her with the snowman quilt I made her this past Christmas. The second Lucky Stars was made for a charity auction a few years back. It brought in a nice donation for the Lelooska Foundation,
This one, sadly, is no longer in print. It's called Allegro. I love it and it's the background quilt in my profile photo.
And this one is not an Atkinson Designs quilt. I lifted it from my friend, Charlotte's, Facebook page. :-) It's her most recent finish and I thought it was really cute and just had to share it with you. I love this pattern. One of these days it just might make it to my sewing machine. Really cute quilt, Charlotte!
I hope everyone had a nice holiday weekend. We've had SUCH a rainy spring, and this past weekend was sunny and warm-ish. WHAT a gift! It was such a spirit-lifter! Today is beautiful here in the pacific northwest, too. I think spring weather has FINALLY arrived here! YEA!!! (That means garden pictures are soon to come).
