a million little crystals

The snow is sparkling like a million little crystals.  You’ll find these words on the selvage of Crystal Lane, my next fabric line for Moda.  It’s one I’ve fallen in love with because next to pink, my favorite color is French Blue!

 In shades of Crystal Blue, Winter White, and a touch of Nutmeg, Crystal Lane will take you into the Winter season of 2021. It’s a time for crisp mornings and cold nights, cold toes, and cold noses.  Crystal Lane ships to quilt shops in April of 2021, and I’ve got lots of new patterns to go with it!

I’ll show you all the new patterns this week, starting with Crystal Lane, my main applique quilt.  You’ll find a few critters on my latest quilt.  I can’t seem to design without them!  When I think of Winter, I think of snowy owls, polar bears, winter bunnies, deer, those birds who brave the snow and cold to get a berry or two, and of course, a snowman!   Welcome to Crystal Lane!

Moda is offering one of their beautiful kits for this quilt, and we’re taking pre-orders starting today.  The kit comes packaged in a keepsake box, with all the fabric for the quilt top, binding, pattern, and embroidery floss. The finished quilt measures 62″ x 70″.

I encourage you to support your local quilt shop during this pandemic.  They need our help!  If you’d like a Crystal Lane kit, call around and see if your local shop is taking pre-orders or ask if they are offering it as a block of the month. Every bit of business you give them helps ensure they will still be here after this pandemic is over.  If you can’t find it locally, and you’d like a kit, go ahead and pre-order from us, and we’ll make sure you get one.  You can also add the optional backing fabric and Aurifil 80wt. thread kit.

I’ll be back to show you all my other patterns this week.  Here’s the link to pre-order a kit or a Crystal Lane fat quarter bundle.
