I'm a big fan of Judy Martin's quilts and she has a new book coming out this fall.
She has a sneak peak on her website of the quilts in the new book. I thought some might be interested in what she's been up to.....

Beautiful quilts

Thank you for sharing this with us. I really love a couple of those quilts :D:D:D

I really love them, will be on the lookout for that one.

Wow, those are gorgeous quilt!! thanks.

Will have to watch for it. Have several of her books and love them all.

I too like her ,but wish she would individualize some of her patterns, her books are always a bit too much in price for me unless I am the lucky bidder on ebay lol

Thanks for sharing!!

I have always liked Judy Martin's patterns and have all her books. I'm not that impressed with these new quilt patterns though. It may be the colors used, something about them that just doesn't get me excited to make one.

Ohmigosh, those are beautiful! I especially love Thanksgiving, but Morning Glory would make a really nice gift quilt, too.

She really loves "intricate," doesn't she? :)

Must be the colors, I love them!

FYI - You can always pick up a copy of her books on Amazon - used for under $10 incl shipping. Worth every penny.

I hardly ever buy patterns or pattern books but I think Judy's "The Creative Pattern Book" was one of the best ever written. And I didn't mind paying full price for it at the time.

I AM going to make Shakespeare in the Park. One of these days.

I've also found it's more helpful to ignore colors (too personal) but to just look at layout and value when evaluating patterns.

She revisited some themes - I'm not a fan of feathered star blocks, but I LOVE that layout for a Lone Star, with mini-LS's in the sections. And if I ever have the occasion to make a Maple Leaf quilt, that setting is beautiful.

Sorry, but I'm happy to see anything that doesn't require Jelly Rolls or a 3x4 block layout grid. Personal preference.

eta:
Judy's got some of her older books on clearance for $9.95 if you wanted a new copy.

I love the red, blue and white!

She has such beautiful designs. It's fun to be able to vote on the quilts for the book and the cover!

I love Judy Martin's designs! Her instructions are always accurate and well thought out.

Beautiful quilts!
