Valerie Burton of Cookie’s Creations is the latest new designer at Quilters Warehouse.  I know your mouth is watering thinking about those cookies but we’re going to talk quilts first.   Valerie is multi-faceted so her patterns range from pincushions to full size quilts.  We’ll start small and work our way up…

Little pumpkin pincushions! Aren’t they CUTE?! And ’tis the season!

As the name, Pumpkin Patch Trio, suggests there are three sizes included in the pattern.  Too cute to just use in the sewing room.   Put a few of these on the table for fall.

Moving up a size… Flying Pinwheels – Baby Style

This quilt finishes 39″ X 54″ and is fun and easy to make.  It would make a great wall hanging for a baby’s room.  And what toddler wouldn’t want to snugglel under it while they finger the 3-D pinwheels.

Here’s another seasonal pattern. . . Countdown to Trick or Treat. You’ve heard of and Advent Calendar, right.  Same idea, just that it’s for Halloween.  If you hurry you can make it in time.  Or if you’re like me, start it now and it’ll be ready really early for next year. (Well, if I’m honest, maybe it’ll get finished at the last minute, next year, but I’ll start this year.)

Here’s a different quilt… Memories of Dad.  It’s a quilt made of bow-tie blocks, made with real neckties.  This could be a really special quilt.  Or if you have a bunch of wild neckties from the 70′s, a really funny quilt.

This next quilt was designed for a new fabric line from Moda called Basic Grey.  The fabrics are much more colorful than the name implies!  This quilt is called Urban Garden and includes 3-D pinwheels, applique and more.

I’m sure you’ve noticed all those pink hearts on the patterns… that’s because Valerie Burton is a breast cancer survivor (TWICE!) and she donates 10% of the profit from her patterns to the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Now, for the cookies.  Valerie has two recipes for cookies on her website, Cookies Creations so bake some up and sit down in front of your computer with your cookies and milk (or coffee!) and browse all the quilt patterns at Quilters Warehouse.  Then when you are recharged with all that sugar (and caffeine) you can hit the sewing room running.
