AGF Stitched with Kimberly: Timber

Some fabric lines are completely irresistible. Nightfall by Maureen Cracknell for Art Gallery Fabrics falls into this category for me. My heart was set on those bunnies and owls since I caught my first glimpse at Quilt Market in May.

Of course, I jumped at the chance to use this beloved collection for the Timber quilt. Timber is one of many free patterns and YouTube tutorials available courtesy of Fat Quarter Shop as part of the Art Gallery Stitched with Kimberly series.

I used Moon Stories Ash, Nox Iridescence Dim, Magical Gust Crisp, Birds of Night Mist, Moon Stories Spark, Luminaries Gold, Birds of Night Slate, and coordinating Pure Elements solids. You can see coordinating Art Gallery fabrics for all the collections on the AGF website. The backing is Moon Stories Spark.

Kimberly made her Timber quilt from Pat Bravo's Heartland Collection, and there's even a kit available. The pattern makes a good size quilt at 64.5" x 80.5" and provides an excellent opportunity to feature focal prints.

Tisha of Quilt Icing used 50 weight grey blue Aurifil thread to intricately adorn Timber with feathers, swirls, pebbles, and other lovely textures. She never ceases to amaze me!

It's always fun to see how changing up fabric selections can alter the look of a quilt. Visit the other participating bloggers to see their versions.

Snowflake Shimmer Quilt Along

For someone like me, FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) is a real deal. Therefore, I couldn't let Yvonne of Quilting Jetgirl's Snowflake Shimmer Quilt Along go on without me! Especially not, given the incredible line-up of sponsors she's rounded up, and a free pattern. The thought of missing out on all the fun was too much to bear. I had some scooped up some Act It Out in Pink from Sara Jane's Let's Pretend collection for Michael Miller at the Black Hills Quilter's Guild show this summer that was crying out to be in a quilt for my three-year-old daughter. 

My top's a little different, as I extracted the center medallion, rotated it out of on-point position, and added a few more rows to get the top up to toddler bed-size. The background squares stand out far more than the subtle pink print, but I don't mind the checkerboard effect. I plan to quilt this one simply, for daily use by a preschooler. We'll see how that works out for me, as I have an inclination toward more elaborate free-motion. 

I'll be back soon, but until then, check out all the other quilt along participants.
