This week I'm going to tell you a bit more about each of the new patterns I recently announced. First up is Day Break!
Day Break is the first pattern that uses the Hex N More and Sidekick Rulers together!

Here are some of the outtakes from our cover shoot. Lawrence & I headed up to Santa Barbara for a weekend recently and took the quilts along with us. 
Too windy & need to fix the camera exposure...
Ok... I think we have it. Time for Lawrence to duck...
... and the moment he ducked the wind picked up again!
While the wind was still being a bit crazy I took a few photos that show off Angela's quilting.
Angela's work never ceases to amaze me. I love the detail she created with the quilting on Day Break. When quilting Daybreak, she quilting pebbles and straight lines in the background to create a secondary pattern. In each of the blocks, she used different quilting designs, including plume feathers and geometric quilting designs.
Eventually the wind calmed down enough for us to get the shot.
...and it was off to photograph the next one!
Day Break will be available on 10/30.
