I don’t usually use patterns but I have enjoyed patterns from Barb Gaddy, Toby Lischko and Denise Looney

I like a bunch of designers but some of my favourite are Jenny Doan, Jo Avery and Sandra Walker.

I don’t have any favourite designers, I use patterns that jump out at me and also design my own

A new favorite is Krista Moser. I also like Kim Brackett.

Jenny Doan, Pat Sloan, Karen Stone… So many awesome designers out there.

I have made several of Pat Sloan’s quilt patterns. I also like Toby Lischko and quilts from Forth Worth Fabric Studio.

Wow so many but Eleanor Burns of course, Jenny Beyer, Carol Doak, Jenny Doan, Toby Lischko, Karen K Stone and Jen Kingwell. My list can go forever.

I don’t make quilts, but
I love sewing! Beautiful
creations this week.
Carla from Utah

There are so many wonderful quilt designers out there, I can’t just pick one…. Carolyn Friendlander, Anne Sutton, and Julie Hendrickson.

I don’t have any particular favorites because I like way too many styles.

So many wonderful designers in one place. I like everything. Unfortunately, I can not
make that kind of decision.

I like Bonnie Hunter’s patterns for using scraps!

Lynette Jensen from Thimbleberries got me started. Then I found Kim Diehl. I seemed to be drawn to her patterns long before she was famous. There are so many others, but I really like hand applique, and Esther Aliu has captured me for right now.

I LIKE ALL OF THEM ESPESIALY Pat Sloan’s quilt patterns

way tpp many choices here, then came June, Gudrun Erla, meadow mist design, Elisabeth Hartman…

Weeks Ringle and Bill Kerr because they cause me to look at fabric & color in a new way, Carrie Nelson because her patterns are so well-written, Jenny Doan because she helps me out when I need a quick gift or a fun quilt for an impulse-buy pre-cut, Temecula Quilt Company because they love scraps as much as I do and have a feel for old-timey patterns employing modern techniques.

I have so many designers that I like. I like different ones for different styles.
Jackie Kunkel
Kim Diehl
Judy Niemeyer
The list could go on……..

I like V&Co – the fabrics in the giveaway are beautiful!💕

What a beautiful collection. I don’t have a favorite. I select my fabrics then go through patterns that I have (more like a roomful of totes) and envision what the fabric will look like made up in the fabric at hand.

All time favourites? That is a hard question! I love the new and unique so I’m not sure I have a favourite designer that I keep going back too. Right now I am having fun with collage quilts, so Laura Heine, Emily Taylor and Susan Carlson. I make a lot of quilts for Project Linus so I go back to my Quiltmaker magazines for quick and fun patterns. I love foundation piecing and go to Janeen at QuiltArtDesigns for those patterns.
I love following your blog on Facebook and seeing all the beautiful pictures and creative ideas.

I love the patterns of Gudrun Erla & Valori Wells.

Karen Combs, Bonnie Hunter, Mary Ellen Hopkins, Kathleen Andrews, Ruth Blanchet (Arbee Designs), Lisa Moore – all people with great patterns and accurate instructions.
