Sassy Sunflowers

More new sunflower machine embroideries are now available here. Sunflowers are great for late summer and throughout fall. But who says they have to be sunflowers? Color them as you wish and make whimsical flowers for all seasons!

Back from Quilt Market

The Spring/Summer issue of Quilting Celebrations is now available at your favorite quilt shop and on newsstands everywhere. If you can't find it near you, you can always order on our website by clicking the animation at the left.

It's full of lots of spring and summer quilting inspirations. I hope you'll share photos of any projects you make from the issue on our Quilting Celebrations Facebook page or in our media gallery for the Quilting Celebrations group at Quilters Club of America.

We've just returned from Quilt Market in Salt Lake City and it was GREAT! There's so much new stuff coming and I especially can't wait for you to see my new fabric collections from Robert Kaufman Fabrics. There will be at least 3 new collections this summer, alone. We'll have all of the new fabrics added to the website soon. So, if you can't find them at your favorite local shop, you can get them online at www.patricklose.com.

I'm looking forward to the weekend and I hope it brings you lots of time for creative endeavors!

Have fun :)

Lucky Shamrock

Take a look at this fun new machine applique embroidery design we've added to our offering here!

Whether you're irish every day or only on St. Patrick's Day, you'll love how easy it is to add a touch of green to your quilted and other creative projects. At approximately 3 x 3", it's the perfect size to add to towels, napkins, baby bibs for the little leprechauns and any other piece you can dream up. We embroidered it into blocks and made a square mini-quilt to hang and we'll get a pic of that to show you soon, also.

I hope you like my whimsical new shamrock design and all of the new embroideries we've been adding to the website. Go check them out!

Have a great weekend everyone :)
