Book Club – Cloud9 Fabrics

Book Club fabric collection celebrates bookishness and the wonders that grow from our minds when fed with a good read. Inspired by quiet garden reading corners, vintage library stamps, book club friends, and the dreamy feeling of falling deep into a story, page turn after page turn.

Patches and Squares Quilt Pattern

I designed the Patches and Square quilt pattern for large scale prints, and a lot of Cloud9 fabrics are directional and larger in scale. I love the softness of Cloud9, their fabrics make beautiful quilts. Smaller collection size, make finishing the quilt simple and fun. Here is Patches and Square made using a half yard bundle of Book Club. I love how it turned out. I quilted it on a longarm machine at APQS using free motion quilting. I meandered around adding leaves, and eyeglasses, and swirls. I had a lot of fun quilting this project.
