New Wintry Flare from Atkinson Designs

When I see a pic of a project, I instantly know that it was designed by Terry Atkinson! She always adds that awe factor that makes me smile. Her newest patterns, being released this month have that awe factor multiplied!

Hat Hat Hooray features winter hats in a variety of styles, colors, and fun techniques. But check out the border – these scarves are the perfect frame for this quilt and is why I knew Terry designed it! She always adds that extra dose of cuteness…

This tool does double duty! Inspired by the dome of the Taj Mahal, Taj is perfect for quilting curvy, pointed arcs on your quilts. This versatile tool can be used in all areas of your quilt, including borders, blocks and backgrounds.

Quilt along the outside to create: pointed arches in borders; overlapping arcs or rotate to quilt complex looking motifs. Work along the inside of the tool to create: a leafy allover design; leaves in a row for thinner borders or rotate to quilt flower-like motifs for blocks. By combining the inside and outside, or alternating directions, there are endless quilting possibilities.

This tool will become your new quilting best friend. Efficient and beautiful quilting is her specialty! Use Shelley to quilt clamshell designs from either side of the tool – no need to rotate the quilt since you can quilt from any side of the quilting foot. The Clamshell design can be classically quilted for an open traditional feel, or given a modern update by flipping it around to create orange peels. But that’s not all she does! Use Shelly for: quilting clamshells or orange peels; rotate to create beautiful flower motifs, arcs, and leaves.
