Happy May! The Little Sprout Quilt

This quilt radiates spring! 
Kathy Sawyer's Little Sprout quilt is packed with springy prints from Cheryl Haynes' My Secret Garden collection: jars of wildflowers, daisies, and fresh yellow stripes. Kathy's quilt features an argyle pattern that allows the fabric to bloom. Vertical stripes create sashing, and the outer border print ties the design together.

"Little Sprout" designed by Kathy Sawyer for Love of Quilting, May/June 2019

Quilt Market Booth Tour: Benartex

Ready for a sneak peek at our upcoming fabric lines? 

Last weekend we showed our future collections to quilt shop owners (watch for these fabrics arriving in your quilt shop over the next six months), and for the next three days we'll share photos from the show so you can see what's coming!

Take a peek at the Benartex booth:

These majestic purple and green prints are from Jackie Robinson's Lilacs in Bloom collection. Gorgeous!

Say hello to Ann Lauer and her stunning Midnight Poppies collection. 

A peek behind the scenes: whipstitching Midnight Poppies pillow covers closed before the show starts!

The dramatic poppy stripe works beautifully on a rectangular pillow.

My Secret Garden is Cheryl Haynes' appealing new collection. 

Warm yellows and soft blues in springy garden prints! 

Learn more about these new collections on Facebook. Click on the Videos tab and watch the Designer Showcase. 

Thanks to our set-up team! Melanie Greseth and Joanie Holton designed the booth layout and brought along reinforcements (their brother and kids) to put everything in place. Nice job, team! 

Stop back to see more! 
On Thursday we'll share photos from the Kanvas booth.
On Friday, we'll share photos from the Contempo booth.
