Spring Rain in Quiltmaker Magazine

Yes, I’m writing for Quiltmaker Magazine! I met the awesome team behind this magazine at spring quilt market and began writing articles last year. For the March / April issue, I challenged myself to design a super simple throw sized quilt and find an easy way to free motion quilt it as well.

I LOVE how this turned out! This is honestly one of my most favorite quilts because the piecing and quilting are such nice companions. Here’s a short video to learn how to quilt one of the marked tear drop motifs:

Would you like to make Spring Rain too? Find the pattern and template to mark the tear drops in the March / April 2015 issue of Quiltmaker Magazine!

Let’s go quilt,
