Waiting in the Wings?

It has been such a fun and busy month over here at Coriander Quilts. =)

We are just weeks away from being able to share new fabrics and quilt patterns.  I can’t believe it’s almost time.  I turned this collection in last spring and it’s always so fun after almost a year of waiting to be able to start sharing pretty fabrics.  You’ll have to wait just a little bit longer but I can share soon!

Sunwashed fabrics, available in quilt shops now

With the release of a new fabric collection, there is always the hustle and bustle of writing new patterns, illustrating the patterns, making pretty new quilts and basically, a flurry of activity!

At the same time Sunwashed has arrived to quilt shops which is so much fun.  I always look forward to seeing what pretty projects are being dreamed of and getting made.

I’ve also been enjoying, all of the sew alongs we can join in on…there are so many fun ones starting (or mid-point) right now.  I’ve been really enjoying the Sewcialites Sew Along…this week is my week to share a block so be sure to stop back on Friday and take a peek at the pattern.  I’m slowly plugging away on my Scrappy Irish Chain blocks, I just finished the first blocks from the Bountiful quilt along (the first pattern releases on February 28), and of course we have the Sunny Patches mystery BOM kicking off very soon as well.

All of these things are why I so enjoy working in the quilting industry.  There are always so many fun things to do!  I can work on anything from fabric design, to quilt math, to sewing quilts, and then throw in a load of laundry or wash some windows in the midst of it all.

I had a lot of fun filming the video I released today, chatting about some of the other projects that I’d like to work on.  In addition to the projects I’m currently having fun with, there are always some I have tucked away for the perfect sewing day. =)  I can’t help but laugh when I think back to the time I told my mom that I would always finish one project before I purchased fabrics to start on another.  That is such a great idea but harder to accomplish! =)

If you want to hear about some of the projects I’d love to get a chance to work on, you can watch the video here.  I bet many of you have some of those “waiting in the wings” projects and I’d love to hear about them.  Leave a comment over on the video to share!

I’ll be back Friday with my Sewcialites block…see you then!  And have a wonderful Wednesday! Corey
