A big box full of the samples that I made this past Spring for my Nightfall collection Quilt Market booth and LookBook was returned to me this past week. Most of the items I shared here on the blog while they were being created, but a few of them didn't get their turn in the spotlight just yet, so my plan is to photograph those items to share soon. While I unpacked each piece, I was dreaming up a flock of new project ideas featuring Nightfall!
I had hoped to organize a blog tour similar to the one I had for Fleet & Flourish, but with International Fall Quilt Market coming so soon and the release of a new collection from me coming by the end of next month, eek! I've decided to try something new, a "Nightfall Parade!"
A parade? Why yes! I'm going to sew up as many new items as I can featuring Nightfall over the next couple of weeks. During the parade they'll be chances to win prizes with a HUGE Nightfall Giveaway at the end for those of you who follow along! My plan to start the parade this coming Monday, October 17th leading me to the big, full reveal my next collection!
I guess I better get busy, but before I do, what would you like to see made using Nightfall? I always love your ideas! Pillows, quilts, bags, etc... Do you have any patterns you've been wanting to pair up with this collection? I won't be sewing garments since that's not really my thing, so keep that in mind when you kindly offer your suggestions. I think this is going to be a ton of fun!!
Be sure to follow my Instagram today for the first sneak peek of my collection due out next month! It's an exciting day!!

I feel like this line needs something whimsical... Maybe some fun applique and mixing techniques. Like HST's and String piecing or something. Just have fun being your creative self :) You always come up with something brilliant and beautiful.
ReplyDeletePS: CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE NEW LINE :)
DeleteA bunny thread painted pillow to go with the owl!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Amy; a bunny would be great to go with the owl and the dragonfly.
DeleteI'm not sure but the owl and the dragonfly are absolutely bueautiful are they embroidered or applique? Maybe a butterfly, to go along with the theme of the other two pillows... but I love the designs on the pillows!
ReplyDeleteI've been making purses and messenger bags. It would be great to see what you would come up with!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see what you come up with for a messenger bag with this collection. Or a baby quilt. Love this collection. Where can we buy this?
ReplyDeleteI always love modern quilts that surprise me...you can read my mind, right?? I also love bags, especially ones that can travel with me and hold my laptop when necessary!! Love Nightfall and so looking forward to your new collection!!
ReplyDeleteLove the owl pillow! Would like to see a bag made with Nightfall.
ReplyDeleteThe Owl pillow is delightful! I can't wait to see more of yur work, and your new collection!
ReplyDeleteI am really loving your fabrics!
ReplyDeleteWOW! NO, DOUBLE WOW!! Beautiful! I sure do hope you have patterns for the dragonfly and the owl. That would be awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteA peacock would be pretty, too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work and congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI can't get enough of your pillows. They are just such fun and just the right size to enjoy without months of work (for those of us who only get to sew on weekends after the chores and at quilt retreats). Can't wait for your parade to start (a reason to look forward to Monday).
ReplyDeleteLove your owl pillow. What a beautiful design.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful
