Hi Y’all!

How’s it going. I am AVOIDING. Like seriously avoiding. I am in sewing mode and trying to finish some samples like nobody’s business.

I wanted to share a few victories that I have had lately because …well you know, we all need to hear some good things, right?

I am over on IG doing a takeover on @allpeoplequilt

I shared with you all that I had a design picked up inn American Patchwork and Quilting for the Jan 2021 issue and they asked if I would be interested in doing a takeover. It’s my first time doing something like this and it’s pretty fun!

If you don’t follow my on IG my handle is @charismahorton

I am giving away a few magazines tomorrow and I wanted to give a few away here as well. I think there needs to be some perks to be a loyal follower on my blog, Right?

The quilt in this issue is called Pieced Prisms:

A little flashback for ya. I made this with AMB solids for Clothworks. You know how I love to support an American brand & Company.

 

If you’d like to win a copy of this issue of AP&Q just leave a comment here on which of these fabulous new patterns that you like:

Just to give a little background info on these littles. As a pattern designer it is a HUGE honor if you get to be asked to be on call lists for fabric companies. They will let you submit patterns with their new lines coming out. If they choose them they will put them in their catalogs or look books. Then they send these to the quilt shops. It’s a great partnership and it helps the designers get sales. It’s a WIN-WIN for all of us.

To have one design chosen is like gold….to have multiples is like going to the moon and back.

Free Spirit launched a new line of solids and guess who got 6 *NEW* designs picked up?

**** THIS GIRL********

So I am working on the samples now. I have enlisted the help of a few friends as well.

And we will finish with Whispers:

All of my patterns are listed in my etsy shop, HERE. 

Leave a comment for a chance to win a copy of AP&Q. Follow me over on IG to see what I am up to.

Have a great Saturday!

Charisma

    I live the Starla, my eye goes to the middle then ouy. Keeps getting better further out your eye goes from the center. The best it’s a giant star out and into the border. I’ve had to give up buying the magazines and patterns. There is so many. Thanks for sharing your talent with the greater quilting world.

    I love the Starla and Daybreak! Congratulations on having your patterns selected. I have never made a solids fabric quilt, but you have me intrigued.

    I love Starla, although they are all special. I don’t think I have seen one of your quilts that I didn’t like.

    Whispers is my favorite! Looks like a beautiful spring bouquet. Perfect for a dreary January afternoon.

    I am so glad you did the takeover! I might not have found your site otherwise. I like ALL of your patterns but Contemplate is very unique and it may be my favorite.

    I like Daybreak, I like all of them but I can see possibilities for making that quilt from my stash. Keep up the good work I have followed you a long time.

    As everyone has said, all the patterns are awesome! Out of these new ones, I choose Orientation-the curves look challenging but so beautiful. That one goes on my wish list!

    If I can only pick one pattern it would have to be Contemplate! I love the boldness of this pattern.
