July's Countdown to 20

July's Warm & Natural Prize

Beginning this month and leading up to the 

20th Anniversary of Victoriana Quilt Designs, next year, 

I'm inviting my favourite companies to help me celebrate

and say an extra special Thank You to the Victoriana Quilters!

If it wasn't for my Members, I wouldn't be here!

That's a fact!!

They have been so supportive of my work, by buying their memberships,

which has allowed me 20 years of sharing my quilt designs online.

So as an extra big Thank You to them, I'm having a year long party

with a great prize, they can enter for - each month.

A big Thank You to the The Warm Company for an amazing

prize containing an assortment case of 

5 packages of Warm & Natural cotton quilt batting!

It was easy for me to pick The Warm Company for my first prize.

Their Warm & Natural cotton batting is my go-to batting, for all my quilt projects.

It's soft, easy to quilt through, and the quality continues to impress me.

Plus their customer service is the best!!

My best story about The Warm Company happened a few years ago, 

when I started to make Welcome quilts for refugees,

they sent me a big box of batting to be used in some of these quilts.

When I asked them for a great prize for my Countdown to 20 feature,

they didn't hesitate and offered the wonderful 

Warm & Natural assortment case which contains 

1 King, 2 Queen, 1 Full and 1 Twin size cotton batting

for a case total of 5 packages!

With a $150.00 (USD) retail value!!

~Member's can enter for the July prize here~

You will need to sign in.

Entry must be received by the end of July.

I entry per Member - each month.

Thank You for your continued interest
...and Let the Party Begin!

Getting Ready to Celebrate My 19th Anniversary.....

I've been working on plans to celebrate the 19th Anniversary of Victoriana Quilt Designs being online.

On June 1st a new online class for my The Sampler quilt begins.
It will run for 12 months.

It's available free to all Permanent Members of Victoriana Quilt Designs.

Today I shared a small video of this beautiful traditional sampler quilt here.

A few years ago, I created this Playing with Pincushions collection.

And each year since I've added one more pincushion, giving the pattern as a gift to the Members of my site.

2019

You can see a video of these pincushions, with up close views here.

Here's the original Playing with Pincushions series pattern.

I've been working on the 2020 pincushion - made with this mini Mariner's Compass block.

We're having 'sew' much fun!

Colour Wheel of Fun Challenge

Who wants to play with colour?

Today I'm beginning 12 weeks of Colour Wheel of Fun Challenge!
It's taking place on my Facebook page.

Explore your stash & see what you find.

This week's colour is Yellow.

This is the picture of my yellow collection I just posted.
That yellow is such a pretty butter yellow.
It was so fun digging through my buttons & other stuff, to find these.

Share your picture of a yellow collection, featuring a favourite fabric.
Find the yellow post and add yours in the comments.

How to Play Tip: Find your favourite fabric from your stash, in the weekly colour.

Place it on a white background and surround it with a few other favourites in the same colour family.

Take your picture above the group.

Next weekend's colour: Yellow-Orange

Come Play!

All Quilters - Everywhere - You're Invited...

As the 2020 Quilting Day approaches, this coming Saturday, it's occurred to me that some of the group celebrating may no longer go forward.

The more important thing of course, is to keep everyone healthy!

One great thing about the internet is we can still get together to celebrate the day!

So I'm putting together an impromptu Comfort Stitching Day

Where: On my Victoriana Quilt Designs Facebook page

Who: Open to All Quilters - Everywhere!

When: All Day Saturday, March 21st, 2020.

Until then - Get some stitching/cutting ready.

On the day - Share what you're working on - your progress - and pictures if you can, throughout the day, when you're able to join in!

And how fun it will be to know that you're enjoying some stitching and celebrating quilting along with all these other Quilters!

Plus...for some extra fun, I'll put all the names of those who take part in a jar, and choose two winners.

Each winner will receive one of my Fabric Quilt Label panels (each has 7 different labels).

Please help spread the word!

I'm so grateful to enjoy sewing, as a way to alleviate stress!

Join in for some Comfort Stitching!

Introducing Victoriana Patchwork

I've been designing original quilts and selling the patterns exclusively online since 2001.

That's 19 years! Wow!!

Every year, I've been asked many times if I sell fabric - and today I can say yes... :)

Introducing my new line of fabric - Victoriana Patchwork - that is available exclusively through Spoonflower.

The first collection, Baby Sampler Patchwork, has just become available!!

(so, so exciting!)

I'm so proud of these lovely prints.

You can use them as borders, blocks or even a quick baby cheater quilt!

Plus decorating a nursery - so sweet.

Of course, at Spoonflower, they are also available in different fabrics - and even wallpaper.

And until Friday, they are also available with free shipping - worldwide!!

I invite you to visit my Victoriana Patchwork shop here.

Sew Fun!
