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 BIRDHOUSES 
Finished Size: 28” x 40”

The Mailbox Birdhouses quilt is ready to welcome this spring’s new tenants. Once again I’ve chosen to use my hand dyed, sueded cottons exclusively for this quilt. And I’ve made my birdhouses with lots of bright colors on a fresh Ivory background. I’ve used fusible applique, some embroidery, some 3-dimensional flowers, Kurumi and hand dyed buttons, tiny ric-rac, and machine quilting to bring it all together. This is a fun & happy way to bring the spring indoors.

Just as before with the Mailbox Baskets quilt, this will be a 5 week program beginning May 3 and will be available through June 26. Kits will be sent to your own mailbox on (or close to!) Mondays. The first week you will receive the fabric and any embellishments used, plus instructions to make the first 2 blocks. Each week for the next 3 weeks you will continue to receive 2 block patterns, fabric, and embellishments (if they are used). The fifth week you will receive the border and binding fabrics along with the complete instructions on how to assemble your puzzle quilt. And as a BONUS we will include a special gift--you're going to love it. The cost for weeks 1-4 will be $18.00 plus $3.00 shipping per week – you will be charged weekly. The fifth week is on me! Sign up below and bring a little Spring into your home!

MAILBOX QUILTS COLLECTION

Previous quilts in the Mailbox series are now available in complete kits. 

Mailbox Baskets
Finished Size 27" x 39"

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!
