Sandy and I are excited to tell you about our latest project! Last November we submitted several designs to FaveQuilts and Leisure Arts for a book dedicated to quilted wall hangings. We are thrilled that one of our designs was chosen for this book of eleven unique projects!
Currently, the book is available for purchase on the Leisure Arts Website and on Amazon. In August, the book will be available in Joann Fabric and Craft Stores.
Last November, we were reminiscing about Girl Scout Camp and how we used to make God’s Eye crafts from sticks we found in the woods and scraps of yarn. WHOA! What if we designed a quilt around this concept??? THEN we decided to call it “Modern God’s Eye”. Below is a picture from the book.
The book also highlights the quilting from Sharon Johnson of Purple Cow Long Arm Quilting. Sharon lives here in Ohio and she does a great job, as you can see!
The fabrics we used are from Art Gallery Fabrics Pure Elements Collection. These solid colors are perfect for this modern quilt design. Speaking of design, Sandy and I are big fans of using EQ8 software from Electric Quilts. It’s easy for us to share design ideas electronically with this program, especially since we live in different states!
Here’s a sneak peak at the back of the book. We think you will find a project that works with your décor!
Hi Ladies! You guys really have it going on lately, don’t you?!! How exciting is this? I will pick up an issue – we used to purchase/sell lots of Leisure Arts products when we had our cross stitch store. It’s so cool to still support them for the benefit of someone we know. {{Hugs}} It looks so impressive the way they have it staged, and is really a statement piece over the bed. I wonder what the finished size is? Congrats to you both. ~smile~ Roseanne
Hi Roseanne! The finished size is 30 x 54 inches. It is exciting to be published in a book. Thanks for your sweet comments.
Congratulations Cindy and Sandy!!! Oh my gosh I am so excited for you! What a thrill to see your beautiful wall hanging in a quilt book. It looks awesome.
Your inspiration for Modern God’s Eye made me smile, I loved Girl Scouts!
