If there were to be a reality quilting show, Pat Sloan would certainly be the one I would bet on. I always say she is the hardest working woman in the cotton business. Find out about Pat and her newest book using Novelty prints. Thanks for stopping by.
PAT:
There are endless reasons I love a ‘Novelty’ print. Often it is the image…
Who can resist Aneela Hoey’s Sherbet Pips?
Or a great Sock Monkey fabric.. this is a quilt in my book
And let’s not forget the 12 days of Christmas (I adore KateSpain!)!
After chatting to a zillion and one quilters about WHY a novelty print is used the same way a floral it, I wrote a book.
A book with 12 quilts that showcase these prints I love!
Not only that.. I give you a fun formula for adding a triple border to any panel..
can you say instant quilt?
Just the other day I had a baby quilt to make… I share the process using
a layer cake of Meadow Friends and the “Pair of Winners” Quilt.

Love that Pat Sloan! This book looks like good fun. Thanks for the chance
I love novelty prints. Some bring back childhood memories and others are just plain fun.
What a GREAT idea for a book! We all have these in our stash cause we love them…and I know that I can't be the only one who sometimes is at a loss for how to use it.
Pat Sloan ALWAYS has so much going!
Ya gotta love Pat – She keeps us "SEW" inspired! Can't wait to see the book.
love it!
Thank you, Pat, for continuing to come up with great ideas!
Ohhh, looks like another great Pat Sloan book! I cherish the ones that I have, and would love to win this one!
These prints are rounding out my newbie fabric stash collection.. YUM
This looks like a good book. Like the idea of panel quilts for quick quilts.
novelty prints are just FUN! lots of times when I need to make a baby quilt or a childs quilt for a gift I look at all the new layer cakes or charm packs that are out there and chose a few to whip up a quilt with. Bright, happy and just play fun! Looks like the book has some great quilts in it.

Thanks everyone!! I loved making this book and working out quilts to suit the many types of novelty prints we buy!
This book looks great. I can't wait to try some of the quilts.
I was in Williamsburg yesterday on the way home with the hubby. He graciously stopped at a local quilt store so I could shop – I think my trying to open the car door before we even stopped convinced him, LOL. Love 2 Quilt, don't you just love that name? Anyway, they had a panel of fabric featuring different birds in each panel. I had to buy it (I have 6 bird feeders in my backyard) and think I'll center them inside Ohio stars.
