Canyon Creek Quilt AND Pillow Talk

Another shop sample finished now that my long arm quilter is back from her break. This one is called Canyon Creek.


It features a new fabric line called Terrain from Windham fabrics. The pattern is fairly easy and is strip pieced. There are two different but very similar blocks. The hardest part is staying organized!

And we also got the new Pillow Talk book by Edyta Sitar.


I pulled some of our ombre fabrics and whipped up this pillow cover from the book.


The ombre fabrics made it really easy to get the subtle color changes instead of picking several different fabrics in similar shades as the pattern suggests.

We are going to be offering a Pillow Talk club at the shop. The book covers lots of basic techniques so the idea for the club is to teach folks a new technique each month. There are patterns in the book for strip piecing, a pieced braid, English paper piecing, regular paper piecing, a lone star and applique. In my club I plan to cover every kind of applique and let club members decide which method they want to use. We'll start out with a fairly easy technique then go from there.
