The Quilt Room News

With the festivities of Christmas and New Year now behind us we can look ahead to 2012. The past year has been very hectic for us and 2012 doesn’t look as though it is going to be any quieter. It is very exciting to have so much going on - did Pam really think she was going to retire!

We had two new books published in 2011 and we have two being published in 2012. In May Jelly Roll Dreams will be launched. This book contains the twelve winning quilts from the Jelly Roll Dream Challenge. We have seen the final proofs of this book and it looks fantastic. Wow - what an adventure the Challenge proved to be - so many talented quilters and so difficult to pick just twelve winners.

Later in the year our book Antique to Heirloom Jelly Roll Quilts is being published. We hope to have it out by the Festival of Quilts in August. This book contains gorgeous photographs of our antique quilts together with our modern day heirloom interpretation of them - each made from just one jelly roll.

We now also have a range of Just One Jelly Roll patterns. These are a combination of bestselling patterns from our books and some brand new ones. We will be adding to the range in 2012 and are aiming to have more being launched at Spring Market, Kansas City in May. We are planning to have a stand in Kansas City to promote our books and patterns which we have never done before - it’s all very exciting!

Our next show will be the Spring Quilt Festival at Ardingly on the 27 Jan - 29 Jan 2012

We look forward to meeting you at lots of the shows both in England and in the US. Here's to a great 2012!
