Aussies Take Over Fall Quilt Market 2014

1/20/2015

I have been a follower of Sue Daley, an Australian that had a delicious pattern named Pies and Tarts(pun intended).  I loved this quilt and started making it a few years ago, it is offered as a Block of a Month on the quiltnow.com website.  Although mine isn’t finished I still occasionally work on it.  Some of you who know me may be surprised that I would do English Paper Piecing since I LOVE using my Pfaff sewing machine but once in awhile there are times when there is no sewing machine around such as waiting in the doctor’s office.  All you need to work on paper piecing can be kept in one small sandwich bag so it is very portable so even if you have a few minutes to spare you can whip out some pie wedges.

Sue Daley is certainly not the only Australian anymore featured at marked.  I noticed a definite trend today on the market floor, sooo many Aussie’s here with new pattern designs and very new ideas on fabric design.  At first I was a bit confused about the designs.  Were they reproductions of 1940’s grandmother style aprons?  They threw all different types of prints and stripes into together that just didn’t seem to gel but I couldn’t stop looking at them.  Jen Kingwell is a new Moda designer that displays a perfect example of this eclectic look.  I think you will either love it or hate it, as for me it is really growing on me.  Her fabric comes out in April.  To delve into Jen’s look pull her up on Instagram.

I noticed even some of the American designers had a similar style.  The one I liked the most was Fig Tree Quilts Aloha Girl.  I don’t know how she decided the name as I see no Hawiian theme to it but I do love the colors and prints in peaches, teals and navy.  I liked the sample quilts she had, this fabric line comes out in March.

Another new Moda designer is Brenda Riddle, she created lovely florals in pale pink, grey and green going by the name of Ambleside.  This line would make a stunning spring quilt, delivery is in March.
