Vintage Vases
ByBetty New for Windham Fabrics

Imagine a quilt in Edgar Allen Poe’s sleeping chambers...or draped over a chair in Agatha Christie’s living room...that’s what L.B. Krueger visualized when she created the Mystery line for Windham Fabrics. The collection combines refined elegance with rich textural prints, trailing vines, swirling paisleys and ikat florals. Yet true to her eclectic sense of design, L.B. Krueger’s delicate florals and whimsical bees provide a sharp contrast, offering quilters the opportunity to infuse the more traditional look of stripes, plaids and florals with a gothic flair of suspense.

Midas Touch  
By Patti Carey for Northcott

Inspired by today's casual lifestyle, Northcott designer Ro Gregg created luxurious gilded paisleys with a whimsical look. Ro says, "I began with the master paisley, which is a relaxed design with the subtle sophistication of gold accents." The earthy colors of soft teal, and cinnamon mix well with brown, the new black. Robin’s egg blue and caramel help to complete the palette, making this collection popular for home decorators as well as quilters.

Kathy Brown’s inspiration came from her memories of vacations as a child. “We took great vacations every summer. My dad had an old 8mm film camera to record everything, and I spent countless favorite family nights in front of our projector screen with a bowl of popcorn, my two brothers, mom, and dad watching these home movies of our trips. I thought how wonderful it would be to capture memories like that and put them on a quilted wallhanging that we could see and touch every day. Road Trip was born!”
