Merry Makers 2023

We are excited to join with some of our fellow Andover designers to create a wonderful (free) quilt project for you.
#merrymakers2023 

Watch our Instagram for details. 
Every couple of days we will show you a 12" finished (12 1/2" unfinished) quilt block from one of our fellow designers coloured in our Andover fabrics. 
We will give you their details so you can see their original block and download the instructions to sew along side us. 
Our fellow Merry Makers are:

We hope you'll have a little fun with us? No pressure, no rules, just some quilters from accross the globe, sharing our love of quilts. 

Once we have each released our blocks, on December 15th, we will have some setting options for you. 
We would love to see your blocks, please use the hashtag: #merrymakers2023 
Click on the link at the end of the email for our PDF instructions (if the link doesn't work, please email us). 
 Be sure to print our PDF pattern at custom scale 100%.

Allerton

 Allerton

We are very pleased to show you our latest design, Allerton.
We have made our quilts, featuring our most recent fabric range, Sienna, by Andover Fabrics. 
Lisa has used a mix of our fabrics from previous ranges with Sienna fabrics.  Lou has only used the Sienna range.
 
This gorgeous quilt features applique and pieced blocks, and is a perfect scrappy quilt.

Lisa's quilt on the left, Lou's on the right.




Bertie has to be in on the action!




Lou's garden had some lovely spring colour.


We do hope you like Allerton,

Lisa & Lou

 Sienna - some quilts to inspire you....

We have received some truly wonderful feedback for Sienna.  

Thank you.

We would like to show you a couple of our designs coloured with Sienna fabrics.  Have a look at the designs on the right side of the blog, to see the quilts as we made them originally. 

This is Sovereign:



This is Betty's Medallion:

We are busily stitching a new design featuring Sienna (and in Lisa's case, some of our other fabrics too).  We should have them ready to show you soon.

                Happy Sewing,

                            Lisa & Lou

Sienna

Sienna

We are so happy to show you Sienna.  

Our latest range of fabrics by Andover Fabrics is arriving at 

your local patchwork store in June 2023.

Sienna is Lisa’s grand-daughter and she is as sweet as the prints in our Sienna line. The main whimsical floral print is a reproduction of an antique document piece and the coordinating prints in soft colours will create beautiful quilts. We hope you love a little old world charm in Sienna...
