Sunny Happy Unicorn

Posted on: December 15th, 2017 by Lorna McMahon

  Sunny. Happy. Rainbow Unicorn!     Yummy! I love it!   The bubbly blue background fabric was from stash. It’s I Spy… In the Amazon by Northcott Fabrics. I was thinking a pink background would be best, but found this blue and went with it.  The backing was a recent purchase from Fabric Snob […]

  Here is Desert Donkeys – all quilted up. This quilt has an Arizona feel and those fat little burros sure make me smile!         The fabrics are all from stash.

Posted on: December 1st, 2017 by Lorna McMahon

  This is Wolf in the Woods – a modern minimalist design that finishes in either a baby size or double quilt size. This has been a long time coming. I have had a number of requests for a wolf quilt pattern stretching back for quite a while now.     The fabrics are all […]

Sweater Weather for Quilty Magazine

Posted on: October 27th, 2017 by Lorna McMahon

  Earlier this year, I was contacted by Quilty magazine. I was also approached to make a submission for a quilt to be featured in an upcoming issue. This was the design I settled on. Elaborating on an earlier quilt I made called Ugly Christmas Sweaters, I drew up a revised design on grid paper […]

Giraffes in a {Rainbow} Row

Posted on: October 26th, 2017 by Lorna McMahon

Look up! Way, way up! Is it a quilt? Is it a sail boat? No! It’s a row of rainbow giraffes!   After a lot of indecision about choosing prints or solids, the giraffes were finally made using all Kona solids – Lipstick and Deep Rose, Tangerine and Orange, Sunny and Canary, Avocado and Pea Pod, […]
