There’s a new quilt pattern in my SHOP called Charming Cabin and it’s part of the Charming series of quilts you already love from my Free Projects page made from simple shapes and with a beginning quilter in mind! This pattern is a purchase pattern and it comes in three sizes: Runner, Throw, and Twin!

I designed this quilt for the upcoming Art Gallery Fabrics Bookish Look Book to show off my new Bookish fabric collection. I love how the prints show off in these big pieces and how fast and fun this quilt was to assemble. In fact, this quilt was so fun to make I didn’t even take block photos—I just got too excited to put it all together!

I did get fabric pull photos and this first group is the pull for the throw quilt.

So which came first, the idea for the quilt or for this photo of me reading a book on the quilt—hard for me to say but I love this library-vibe and it was the most comfortable photoshoot I’ve ever done!

Above is the throw quilt for this pattern that measures 58’’ x 76’’ which is a terrific snuggle size or reading in the park size! Brooke Becker of Lady Belle Fabric did the fantastic long arm quilting on my throw and we used two layers of Hobbs Tuscany Silk batting for the most decadent loft and drape.

I also made the Runner size in my Bookish prints. The runner measures 18’’ x 74’’ because I like a runner that has a nice drop off the edge of the table. Below is the Bookish fabric pull for the runner with AGF Spruce Pure Solid added as the sashing.

I do wish I’d sent this out to Brooke to long arm quilt as well because this really isn’t my best quilting job at all! But, when you’re rushing to get stuff done it doesn’t always make for great work. Lesson learned on my part! Regardless of my quilting, I love this runner and it is to be my fall-going-into-winter runner on my table.

Meet the Testers

With each new pattern release I have a team of super talented quilt testers that also make a version of the quilt. I’ve asked each tester of this quilt to come up with an inspiration image from Pinterest that captures the mood they wanted to create with their Charming Cabin make. They come up such beautiful quilts and color stories—it makes me want to make those versions, too!

Joyce

Talk about the perfect fall table runner, OMG, I’m in love with Joyce Ulm’s Charming Cabin runner! Joyce used a mix of Art Gallery Fabrics Kismet, Lambkin prints, and AGF Denim in her quilt. The quilting on Joyce’s runner is exquisite because she’s a professional long arm quilter. See more of Joyce’s work on Instagram @evamaecustomquilts, Etsy shop, and on her Facebook blog HERE, and don’t forget, does long arm quilting as well!

Elaine

I’m going to sound like a broken record here, but I’m head over heels in love with Elaine Satterfield’s Charming Cabin throw in (mostly) Art Gallery Fabrics Lilliput prints. How stunning is this quilt!?!?! She captured the inspiration photo perfectly. See more of Elaine’s work on Instagram @createjoyquilt.

Tracey

So to mix up my pure delight with every Charming Cabin make, let’s just say Tracey Taber-Perry nailed her fall-inspired Charming Cabin twin-size quilt! How beautiful is this quilt in Art Gallery Fabrics Kismet!?!?! I could make quilts with this pattern all the live-long day making all these versions, and how about the photography spot—WOW!. To see more of Tracey’s beautiful work and you can follow her feed @ttabes80 on Instagram.

Terri

I’m in love with this color palette Terri Neil selected for her Charming Cabin throw. Terri used a mix of Art Gallery Fabrics from Bari J., Amy Sinibaldi, AGF Studio, and Maureen Cracknell. Terri is also a professional long arm quilting and does the most beautiful hand-guided designs. Be sure to follow Terri on Instagram @quiltingrubies and you’ll be in awe of all the beautiful quilts she makes and quilts for others from her long arm business called Quilting Rubies.

Megan

Megan Eckroth made the dreamiest of runners in my favorite fall palette of terra cotta and olive. The garden-inspired Art Gallery Fabric prints from Bonnie Christine and Amy Sinibaldi were the perfect choice. I love the straight horizontal quilting that compliments the design and easy to do on a domestic machine (wish I’d thought of that)! Be sure to follow Megan on Instagram, FB, and her Etsy Shop and see more of what this gifted maker has to share.

Liza

Liza Taylor has such a cool, Western-Chic vibe to everything she makes! I knew she’d love this pattern and the opportunity to use lots of prints. Liza has kitted her Charming Cabin version in her Etsy shop, Liza Taylor Handmade and beautifully curated a mix of Art Gallery Fabrics in cream, pumpkin, and spruce. Shannon Cuddle backing gives this quilt an extra layer of charm. See more of Liza’s beautiful work @lizataylorhandmade on Instagram and her Etsy shop of the same name.

Christine

I love the graphic high contrast and sophisticated color palette of Christine Trotta’s Charming Cabin throw quilt. Christine used an assortment of Art Gallery Fabrics that include Pure Solids and Kismet prints. She’s captured the classic, almost 40s inspired inspiration photo in this stunning quilt. Visit Christine’s Serendipity in Love Creations shop and follow her on her Blog as well as her Instagram account @serendipityinlovecreations.
