A recent Aurifil post showing the work of its current quilt “makers” included a quilt that Maude MacDonald made with a pattern from quilter Emily Dennis.
I went to Emily Dennis’ web site and blog and fell in love with her quilts. I signed up to follow the blog and got a free pattern of crosses that I will use as a leader/ender project with my solid scraps. (And there will be more solid scraps as Tara Faughnan’s Blocks3 has now started. Our first block is “Crosswalk.”)
I loved Emily’s quilts immediately. They are modern and clever. They drew me right in. There are lots of hearts and stars in her quilts–two images that make my heart sing.
I bought her “Patchwork Hearts II” pattern and will anticipate making at least a baby quilt from it. She made her pattern with a light heart, but I liked the version Maude MacDonald made with a dark orangy solid red heart and lots of fun print fabrics–the Juicy Collection from Ruby Star Society.
