MEET THE LAND OF THE SKY COLLECTION!

** RELEASING AUGUST 8 **

The Land of the Sky collection includes 4 beginner-friendly patterns. Each design showcases a single star-shaped block made modern with the addition of harmonizing elements and the use of negative space. The patterns feature large blocks and come together quickly. While striking in solids, they are also perfect for showcasing prints.

The collection gets its name from where I live—Asheville, NC. Frances Tiernan, published "The Land of the Sky" in 1876. The novel's title became synonymous with the scenic beauty of western North Carolina, particularly the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountains. Each pattern in the collection bears the name of a high elevation Blue Ridge mountain peak, perfect for stargazing.

Each pattern will be sold separately and in discounted bundled options.

PINE SHADOW Quilt PATTERN

MADE IN THE MOUNTAINS, FOR THE MOUNTAINS

All proceeds from pattern sales during the Dec ‘24 launch were donated to ArtsAVL Emergency Relief Grant Program for artists impacted by Hurricane Helene. THANK YOU!

Pine Shadow is an on-point quilt with a bold, geometric modern design.

Inspired by the pine trees of Western North Carolina — the pine cones, held sideways, cast shadows that remind me of light and dark half-square triangles.
