For the past 40 years, quilting has been my passion. Then in 2018, I took a class and discovered collage quilting. What an experience! After my first quilt, I was hooked! It is why I decided to jump off the cliff and develop my first collage art pattern! That is how Moo-Shu the Panda was born!
Trudi the Reindeer was collage art pattern number two. Trudi is Rudolph’s cousin. Covered in lots of fused Kaffe Fassett fabric and placed on a navy batik background, Trudi took take her place this past Christmas decorating a wall in my entry.
Bluebonnet the Longhorn collage quilt debuted just in time for 2019’s Houston rodeo and is made mostly with Texas-themed fabric. New in 2000, check out my Etsy shop to also purchase my Texas flag and beginner Heart-shaped full-size patterns. Each pattern also contains detailed supply list and step-by-step directions. All patterns are now offered in convenient downloadable pdf format. If you prefer the panda, reindeer and longhorn are also available already printed and will be mailed!
A portion of all proceeds will go to the Village Learning and Achievement Center, a charity that supports special needs adults and their families.
Feel free to follow the Life’s Loose Threads blog for plenty of tips and techniques related to collage quilting and more.
Questions? Contact me – I’d love to hear from you! Also, feel free to share photos of your own version of one of my patterns! I’d love to see your creation!
