It's International
Quilt Market time and Emma Jean Jansen has just released her newest
fabric line Eureka which is
inspired by the Victorian Goldfields and all things mining. The range features
geometrics representing quartz crystals and a fabulous print with gold
highlights showing the veins of riches. There is a fabulous mine shaft map
print and a stripe which is inspired by the cores showing the different colours
in the earth. A wagon wheel is a great circle contrast and of course Emma
had to include a Southern Cross Star print which was a symbol of the
Eureka rebellion. The range features navy, chartreuse, apricot, turquoise and
grey and will inspire you to create! Her fabric is distributed by Ella Blue Fabrics.

It was a huge honour and a privilege to assist Emma with her
Quilt Market preparations this year. My contributions are only small, but
they were heaps of fun to make and a huge accomplishment for me to have some of
my work on display at International Quilt Market.
"Hop &
Skip" is a pattern by Australian designer Melly
& Me. Hop (in
navy) measures 12' tall and Skip (in apricot) is slightly smaller and measures
9.5" tall. You can click HERE to purchase a PDF download of the
pattern.
