Recently saw a gorgeous quilt in this arena that was designed by Derek Lockwood. I looked him up online and found his website. However, are his patterns found in quilt shops or do I need to order it. I hate to spend a bunch of money on shipping if I can pick it up @ a shop. I don't know why shipping bugs me but it does. Sorry....venting. Any info would be greatly appreciated!!

Did you try writing him to ask which shops in your area carries his quilts? His link here has an e-mail address.....http://www.lockwoodquilts.com/contact/contact.html

It looks like shipping is only $1.25 thru his site, which is very reasonable. :D:D:D

Well thanks alot! Once again someone on this board twisted my arm to spend more money! :lol:

I'm nosey!! What pattern did you select? His work is beautiful and may order one myself. Just wondering. Suz

Don't have my confirmation email yet...I bought 4 of them -- they are so beautiful! I had never heard of Derek Lockwood. I'll let you know as soon as I get the email.

You all find such great things!
love some of these designs
Contacted him about opening a wholesale acct so I can sell these!

These are the ones I bought:

#118 - SHANGRILA Quilt
Item#
#117 - ORIENT EXPRESS Quilt
Item#
#106 - ISLAND SPLENDOR Quilt
Item#
#136 - PANSY PROMENADE Quilt

I love his Bargellos!

Yes! Yes! Yes! And Wow! Wow! Wow!

The patterns selected are wonderful, beautiful, etc, etc. It will be hard to decide which to make first. I really liked the Fan Dance, #162 and will be ordering it.
