Mailbox Quilts
Maria Tamaoka of Pinwheels and I have joined forces for this exciting new venture. Mailbox Quilts is a new & unique approach to quilt design. Take two independent designers - each with her own particular style, each with her own exclusive fabric line, each designing her own choice of quilt blocks - and combine all that into one cohesive little quilt. Sound like a challenge? Well, it is! And it’s one that we’ve embraced and are bringing to you in a 5 week format with you making the choice. Visit www.mailboxquilts.com for more details.
MAILBOX BASKETS
This is my version of the Mailbox Baskets quilt. As you can see I’ve used my hand dyed, sueded cottons exclusively. My plan was to make a two color quilt. But you know I always have to throw in a few little “extras”. In addition to my basic blue & ivory color scheme I’ve chosen to use bits of my Meadow and Cheddar fabrics as small accents here and there. I’ve made my blocks with machine piecing and raw-edge applique. And in order to add a bit of “whimsy” to an otherwise bold, contemporary look I’ve added some embroidery, buttons, and ric-rac – just for fun!
