Welcome to Day 3 of the Geese Migrations Blog Hop Book Tour!!
We hope you are having fun following the first
Geese Migrations blog tour.
Geese Migrations blog tour.
Today, you will be able to visit Certified Quiltworx.com (Judy Niemeyer) Shops and see lots of great things and have the chance to win some great prizes too!
This is our quilt in the book. Not only do you get the pattern for Always Chasing Rainbows, but you get a bonus table runner as well. We are housed in an old movie theater, so many of our quilts have movie themes. This particular quilt is dedicated to our all time favorite movie -- can you guess? Keep in mind that any quiilt you make is YOURS, and you are free to let your imagination soar when choosing fabrics.
We drastically changed the look of the quilt simply by changing backgrounds, This version uses Michael Miller Krystal fabrics.
We have kits prepared in both a batik and a Timeless Treasures "Willow" version. You furnish the background of your choice.
Our "go-to" colors at JanniLou Creations are black, red, and white, so of course we imagined
Always Chasing Rainbows in those colors.
Always Chasing Rainbows in those colors.
What about using a favorite color scheme of your own?
Or a sunset?
Or a monochromatic theme?
...or even in Quiltworx' Reclaimed West fabrics!

My brain takes a little while to get going on paper piecing but then it is OK. Something about upside down that is wierd to me.
ReplyDeleteMy first experience with paper piecing was a dragonfly I designed myself after looking at paper piecing videos on line. I did enjoy the challenge and have made several more quilts requiring paper piecing. Thanks for sharing.
