Ready for some outtake photos and detail shots? Our photoshoots typically begin with lots of walking + lots of trial and error.

I walked down this outdoor hallway to see if there was a good place to shoot. My husband decided to shoot photos of me walking back down the hallway. 

Here he was getting all artsy. Ever since I showed him how to focus on one thing & then move the camera he is kinda obsessed.

 I thought this might be a good location, but the lighting was off...

...and the wind wasn't cooperating!

It is no secret that I love fences & railings. I almost used a photo from this location on the cover. Instead this photo ended up on the inside of the pattern. I love the reflection of the quilt in the water.


Eventually we found this sculpture in the garden and it was the perfect place for the quilt to hang out & be photographed for a few moments.




Here is the back of the quilt. I pieced the back using my label and some leftovers from the front to make a pair of rainbows on either side of the label. I like how it pops & provides and unexpected surprise.



I really love the texture that Teresa's quilting brought to the finished quilt.

The pattern is printed in full color, and it includes templates. Plus there's no Y seams!
It has 5 sizes: baby, lap, twin, queen, king.

Glazed Donuts will be available in local and online quilt shops November 1. Be sure to share your Glazed Donuts quilts on social media using #GlazedDonutsQuilt. I can't wait to see what you make!

Come see me at Quilt Market in Houston, TX. I'll be in booth #2442 and I'll have my latest patterns at Sample Spree table #92. See you there!

Nancy - Not at all! No Y seams and very similar construction to many of my patterns. The background fabric just hides the construction.

I love this one! Really I love all your pattern! I received the templates so I could make some of your patterns but I haven't yet. But this pattern is the one I want to start with! I love the bright colors you used too! So lovely :)

Glazed Donuts! The name bridges Philadelphia with Southern California. Dunkin Donuts in the East, and all those independent donut shops in SoCal. Mmmmm, all are delicious, especially the pattern!
