I am so excited to share the Stockinette Quilt pattern testers’ projects with you!
Testers make quilt patterns possible, period. Without my amazingly talented and kind testers, I could never have written the Stockinette Quilt pattern. I am so incredibly grateful and also amazed at the beautiful quilts they created - and I know you will be too! It means so much that they would take their time, fabric, and creative energy and use it to help me create this pattern. I can’t thank them enough.
To every single one one of my testers, thank you so much for all you have done for me! Sending lots of big hugs and love to each of you.
Michele used a bold combination of beautiful Art Gallery Fabrics for her quilt. I just love the color palette and contrast - and this absolutely dreamy photo from my neighbor state of South Carolina really shows it off! Michele shares her work on IG @sewsilverco.
Michonne didn’t stop until she found the PERFECT fabrics for her quilt - even if she had to dye them herself! I love the combination of prints, solids, and hand dyed fabrics. This quilt is so special - I hope she is keeping it for herself! Michonne also tested all 3 block sizes and helped me create the flying geese tutorial for the pattern, which can be found here. See more of her beautiful work on IG @silverlinedstitches.
Mary made her show-stopping quilt using Art Gallery Fabric’s new Lilliput collection by Sharon Holland. She has kits available in her shop if you want your own just like this! Also - what a gorgeous location for a proper Quilts-in-the-Wild photo! Mary has a fabric shop and a feed full of gorgeous quilts on IG @rosiegirlquilting.
Emily chose a single background fabric and paired it with Ruby Star Society’s Warp + Weft collection by Alexia Abegg and I cannot get enough of this quilt! I can only imagine how soft and snuggly it’s going to be! Find Emily on IG @marthajanecreations.
Toni so generously offered to use her years of quilting experience to test my pattern and I am so grateful! She also used Ruby Star Society’s Warp + Weft collection. With different prints, color order, and a light background color it is definitely one of a kind! Toni shares her life and quilting adventures (and her beautiful smile!) on IG @toni_made.
Lia’s bright and cheery Tula Pink quilt makes me so happy! She also chose a single background fabric but instead of a solid she used Tula Pink’s Rainbow Fairy Dust print - and it is just magical! Find Lia on IG @lituania_ladies.
Elizabeth was one of the first to complete her tester quilt and when I saw this photo it just made me feel so proud and excited! She did such a beautiful job and this beach photo is absolutely amazing! Elizabeth shares her work on IG @sew.orcutt.
Sarah took her amazing quilt all the way to Quilt Town USA on a birthday trip and got this cute picture in front of the Hamilton, Missouri mural! Sarah is a nurse, a fur mama, and such a sweet and talented quilty friend! You can find her on IG @mtngalrn.
I absolutely adore Amy’s unique quilt! She used 1/2 the number of main fabrics and mirrored the colors in her quilt, pairing the gorgeous ombre solids with a simple, modern print for the background fabric. Amy has so many beautiful projects to browse through on her IG page @longlivehandmade.
Alaina sewed up this gorgeous scrappy version in rainbow order and I couldn’t love it more - or her sweet pup! I feel so lucky to have had her help test my pattern! Alaina shares her beautiful work @heliotropegreen on IG.
Alix’s color palette is so soothing and earthy and I love this shot she took in the woods - such a perfect match! Alix shares her life and her gorgeous makes on IG @alixnori.
Andrea’s scrappy version is so colorful and I just adore the mix of prints she chose! She makes quilts, garments, accessories, and more - and shares them all the way from Alaska! You can find her on IG @akboredhousewife.
Barb chose one of my favorite new collections from our shop to use for her quilt. Her version was made using Dear Isla, designed by Hope Johnson for Cotton + Steel. She did such an amazing job creating contrast with these shades - and she is so kind and encouraging too! You can see more of Barb’s quilts on IG @blockandborder.
Chelsea pulled out the good fabrics for her quilt (and I am so honored)! I love the shades of pink and the mixed prints - and this amazing shot she captured to show it all off. Check out Chelsea’s quilting adventures and her kitty helper @sewaddicting.
As Erin’s quilt came together, I was sitting at the edge of my seat! With each sneak peek I could barely wait to see more! I love the bright and bold shades and the way they transition with the scrappy background fabrics. I first found Erin through bag making, but she can make anything - and she shares it all on IG @limabeanloves.
As soon as I saw Jillian’s fabric pull, I knew it was going to be amazing! She has such a great eye for color and this photo has me wanting to take a country drive! She and her sweet pup Maple share their quilting adventures (and quilt snuggles) on IG @psbigdreams.
I just had to show the front and back of Melanie’s quilt! She used her pride flag kit from Art Gallery Fabrics, paired with a textured navy fabric for the background. I love how she used each color on two rows, which changed the look of the quilt! She also used the extra flying geese to make a pieced backing and it looks so amazing! Melanie shares her work on IG @koalamommily.
Paige used a solid white background for her quilt, which really makes the colors and prints pop! I love the chevron quilting design she added to echo the shapes of the pattern. And this is such a beautiful spring photo! (Paige has a private IG page.)
Tina used the baby sized flying geese to create this beautiful quilted pillow cover! I can’t decide which side is my favorite! I love both color combos so much! Tina shares her beautiful quilting all the way from Germany on IG @milmiria.
Sandy is so kind and supportive. She is an expert pattern tester and long arm quilter! I love the contrast she created with prints and solids for her quilt. And those dreamy florals, of course! Check out Sandy’s other work on IG @thaicharmllc.
Janet is such a speedy and precise quilter! Look at those perfect points!! I love the mix of fabrics she used for her quilt, including some Figo Fabrics Primavera from our shop! Janet shares her beautiful creations on IG @bestjlb.
Abby included an extra flying geese block on each row making her quilt an extra snuggly size! I love the beautiful rainbow color transition in contrast with the grey background fabric. I can’t wait to see how she decides to finish this quilt! You can find Abby and her quilts on IG @abbygailroggenkamp.
Angie wakes up early to sew before work and she worked so hard to get her quilt done in time for my pattern release date! I am so thankful - she did such a beautiful job! She chose a variety of wovens in shades of pink/red and neutrals. I love this photo she got on her hike too! Angie shares her projects on IG @ajscreations2.
That’s the end of the quilt pattern tester gallery, but I know these quilters will be continuing to create more beautiful work - be sure to follow them on Instagram to see what they’re up to next!
