Hallo und willkommen bei meine Stop auf der Wistful Winds Blog Tour! Es war eine wahre Freude mit der neuen Stoffkollektion meiner Riley Blake Designs-Kollegin Shari Butler von Doohikey Designs zu arbeiten. Wistful Winds hat einen speziellen Platz in Sharis Herzen und sie wird Euch während dieser Blog Tour etwas mehr über die besondere Inspiration für diese Linie erzählen. Die Muster und Farben dieser Stoffe sind so warm und fröhlich und haben dabei etwas wunderbar Beruhigendes, wie passend dass es Nachwuchs bei uns im Freundeskreis gab, für den ich ein Geburtsgeschenk brauchte. Ich habe mich für einen Baby Quilt aus Quadraten entschieden. Die Einfachheit dieses Quilts hat wirklich etwas Bestechendes, ist es nicht wunderschön, wie die Farben ineinender übergehen? Das Schnittmuster für das Kissen ist eines meiner ersten Schnittmuster überhaupt, Ihr erinnert Euch sicher an den Sugar Candies Mini Quilt, den ich letztes Jahr herausgebracht habe. Die Originalgröße dieses Quilts liegt bei 18.5″ x 18.5″. Um ein 16″ (40 cm) Kissen daraus zu machen, habe ich die Mitte auf 14.5″ x 14.5″ zurechtgeschnitten und mit einer Umrandung und Ecken von 1.5″ Breite versehen. Die Rückseite ist ein einfacher Hotelverschluß. Ich freu mich, wie schön es geworden ist! Wistful Winds ist ab diesem Monat in den USA zu beziehen, hier wird es wohl noch ein Weilchen dauern, bis die Stoffe zu haben sind.
Sugar Candies Mini ist als direkt herunterladbare PDF-Datei in meinem Etsy Shop zu beziehen.
Hello and welcome to my stop at the Wistful Winds blog tour! I very much enjoyed working with this beautiful new line of fellow Riley Blake Designer Shari Butler of Doohikey Designs. Wistful Winds has a special place in Shari’s heart and she will be sharing more about the meaningful inspiration behind this line throughout the blog tour. The colors and prints are so happy and cheerful and have something calm and soothing on the other hand, and since I needed a gift for a baby that has recently been born in our circle of friends, I decided to make a nursery set. I made a simple baby quilt from 4.5″ squares. Dont you just love the way the colors merge into each other? The pattern I used for the cushion is one of my very first quilt patterns called Sugar Candies Mini. The original size of this mini quilt is 18.5″ x 18.5″. To turn it into a 16″ pillow I trimmed the center to 14.5″ x 14.5″ and added a 1.5″ border and corner stones, the back is a simple envelope closure. I love how it turned out! Wistful Winds will be available at quilt shops this month.
Sugar Candies Mini is available as an immediate PDF download in my Etsy Shop.
