Wayward Sisters 3 from Nestlings By Robin

I'M A COVER GIRL!!

Annie's new book is now out!

When I first saw it, I was so

intrigued by the cat steps quilt

by Charisma Horton, that I

completely missed that I

am on the cover too!

I have had these little

witches in my files for years.

They are so much fun to play

with. If you aren't a fan of

paper piecing at this moment,

you soon will be:)

The three witches, Weyward Sisters,

are characters in Shakespeare's play,

Macbeth that resemble the

3 Fates of classical mythology.

This was the first Shakespeare ...

HOME from Nestlings By Robin

The Autumn issue of Quilter's World

will have my new quilt design

that I started this past January! YAY!

It is so bothersome that I

have to keep so much secret

from all my quilting friends

when I am working.

Once the design is planned,

it is time to go fabric hunting!

As you can see, I wanted a muted

selection of neutrals in

gray and taupe.

Look at the perfect and gorgeous

Barbara Brackman fabrics

I found along the way!

Giddiness!

Have you ever tried to pay attention

to what you are doing at a retreat?

~LOL~

Beach Glass from Nestlings By Robin

Available now....

This is Beach Glass, a fun easy quilt

that will look fantastic in any color way

and has many design options!

It came about through a call for

submissions from Annie's.

They were looking for quilts

that had one block versatile enough

to create multiple quilts just

by "twisting and turning" the blocks.

VIOLA'!

Once a color way was chosen,

I made a test block to verify

there would be enough value

differentiation.
I found my perfect fabric with
Connecting Threads in their
Sea From Space collection
which is All Batiks!

Easy way to verify you are ...

amongst these amazingly talented women!

There was a cool wall that had photos of

classes that still had openings.

Quilters are visual ...

WINTERBERRIES from Nestlings By Robin

On Shelves Now!

This block design is so versatile and I knew that I wanted it in Christmas colors so I started pulling shades of green and red and throwing them on the floor so I could think on them.

Isn't this a sweet little print?!

It gives so many colors to play with.

Let the chain piecing begin and be

mindful of those 1/4" alignments.

Here is a picture of a test block so you can

see it in another colorway ...very sweet!

The more important part of this picture is showing the alignment

of the triangles ...
