Quilt Carolina
I was really honored this year to be asked to design the quilts for Quilt Carolina, the shop hop that covers the middle of North Carolina. There are two major areas The Triangle (Raleigh, Durham & Chapel Hill) and The Triad (Winston Salem <---my hometown:), Greensboro & High Point), so obviously there needed to be TWO QUILTS! Basically, as you visit each shop, you'll get a block and then you can make the quilts. The sizes are interchangeable on some of the blocks, so you could even combine the blocks for your own version! Here's The Triad, called Carolina Crossroads! And if you want to learn more about making this one, I'm doing a workshop on November 3, from 9:30-3:30, here in Winston. You can sign up and learn more here! The workshop is at Brookstown Inn in Old Salem which is such a awesome location! It's one of my favorite places to teach:) This is made with Amy Butler Eternal Sunshine.
Here's the quilt for The Triangle, called Carolina Carousel! There's a workshop for this one in March! Learn more and register here. This one is made with Jen Kingwell for Moda. It's a mix of Behind the Scenes and Moving On.
I love Shop Hops because they are a great way to find new shops near you! If you're interested in getting these patterns (shipping after November 1), you can order them from the shops listed here:
