I just got the email with Jinny Beyer's newest quilt showing off this year's colors, and now I am the proud owner-to-be of a new quilt kit!!! I love her colors, and can hardly wait until I have time to actually put them together.

She really is the master of color. And I really like the strips that make up the larger diamonds (much easier than the regular Lone Star layout). Still, it's a lot of work. Enjoy the sewing! |
That email is so bad on my resolve to not purchase fabric for 3 months; if I could just make myself not open it...lol. I love her colors and patterns.
|
It is stunning, my jaw dropped when I saw it. The pattern is available for free on the sight but I would never be able to pick the colors like she can. Wow.
|
Actually, the quilt kit I bought is called Spectrum and is the weekly web special. I just looked at the link posted, and there is no way I could even imagine doing that one :!: It's incredible!
|
Ah, my bad.
http://www.jinnybeyer.com/ax_commerce/webSpecial.cfm Also very cool. I think she does one of these every year - something with a patch of each color in her current (or recent) collections. I still have her Portable Palettes that I bought, like, 9 years ago. Even though I'm not using her fabrics, not are the colors her most recent, it's still really very helpful in putting together color/value combinations. |
That is a beautiful quilt. Probably never get to try it though looks complicated. The colours are spectacular. What a beautiful range of fabric.

MTS, thanks for posting the link. I haven't quite figured out how to do all that yet. I bought a similar kit 2 years ago, which is still on my to-do list. 24 more days!
|
I wanted to buy that kit also. I have to wait until I use more of the fabric in my collection.

You just cut and paste or type the URL (address) for the site you want to include. You MUST include the http:// at the beginning before the www. If you've done it correctly, it will show as a blue link when you preview (or send) your post. Otherwise it will show as black text (like the rest of your post). See the difference: http://www.jinnybeyer.com/ www.jinnybeyer.com/ That's why you see some valid addresses that aren't live clickable links. Folks just forgot (or don't know) to prefix it with the http: // . See, easy. :wink: :wink: |
I have seen so many cool things, you may have created a monster!
|
WOW Deb
|
Gorgeous - never checked out Jinny Beyer's site before. I'll be looking often. That first quilt is stunning - I'd like to try it if I had a year or two to work on it. Even the second one would take me forever. Be sure to post your photos.
|
It's so hard not to buy anything off her website. It's all so beautiful. Congrats. (Why can't I be independently wealthy???)

I love your avatar. I am in the process of making the same quilt for my new grandson, due at the end of August. I have all of the PP blocks finished. I am working on sewing the blocks together right now. What quilting design did you use on yours? I am undecided as to what would be the best design to allow the simplicity of the block design shine through.
|
Retirement is just around the corner. You'll have plenty of time to use your fabric. Enjoy.
|
I'm like np3 - it made me dizzy looking at it, but it is stunning. Happy sewing!

About 2 or 3 years ago I bought the Fabrege kit. When I received it I was panicked. How was I to figure which colors went where. To my great surprise one of the pages in the directions had all the fabrics printed in color and lettered and numbered. The package of fabrics was in the exact order as the page of colors. All I had to do was cut a preprinted tab and place a number and letter on each piece of fabric. I then just pieced the pattern. I blessed Jinny for the fabulous help and directions. Don't be afraid to sew one of her kits.
