Buttercup Blooms ~ "Vivienne"

"Vivienne" 60" x 60" Lap Quilt by Deonn
featuring Buttercup Blooms by Gerri Robinson for Riley Blake Designs

Gerri Robinson's new fabric line caught my eye with its luscious butter-colored yellows on navy blue with little glimmers of silver ~ like a flower garden in the moonlight.  The fabrics spoke to me and I just had to get some in my hands to remake an old favorite.  

On the Bright Side...

"On the Bright Side" Flowering Snoballs Cheater print by Sandy Gervais for Riley Blake Designs.
54" x 54" Throw quilt with Faux-Piped Binding and Grey/LaCreme Swiss Dot backing.

Been having some fun with new Riley Blake Designs' fabrics!  Sandy Gervais is a new designer for RBD, but has been in the industry with her fabric art, patterns and projects for over 20 years! 

This darling fabric, "On the Bright Side" has cheery, retro-feeling colors and motifs with lots of positive phrases and texts sprinkled throughout.

I've been dying to test out this adorable "cheater" print, Flowering Snowballs.

Invisible Binding Tutorial

Purple Aurora Dream Big Digital Printed Panel

Every once in a while, there comes a need for a quilt NOT to show a binding around the edge.  For example, with these Dream Big digitally printed panels that are so popular these days, the design continues off the edge, so to speak, and a binding may interrupt that design.

A Favorite Quilt ~ Lessons Learned

One of my first quilts!

"The Twelve Gifts of Birth" by Deonn Stott, 2005

Early in my quilting journey, I joined a local guild.  One particular year, our guild received permission from Cheri Saffiote, a friend of our guild president's mom, to use blocks from a pattern she was designing, Sweet Land of Liberty, as a block of the month.
