Oh, I can’t possibly pick favorites as there are so many I love.Mania Hatziioannidi who is always so creative. Reed Johnson’s designs are great too. And then there’s Megan Best and Connie Kauffman and …

I have so many designers that I admire – Carolyn Friendlander, Pam Buda are two of them

One of my favorite quilt pattern designers is Judy Niemeyer (Quiltworx)!

Some of my favorite designers are Jen Kingswell, Ricky Tims, and Kathy Doughty. Thanks for the chance to win this beautiful fabric!

Love all the colors and learning all the tools. Thanks Island Batik and designers!

I really have to say that I have been following a lot of the designers from the circle that use Creative grids products and teach them. I find I have the bes resul with over sizing and trimming for perfection than any other way to quilt.

Some beautiful finished pieces. Looking forward to seeing more. My favourite quilt designers?? Oh gosh, so many talented people out there if I had to pick one it would be Claudia Pfeil. But there are so many others….

Jaybird Designs (Julie Herman?) is my favorite for the clarity of her instructions. I deal with LOTS of patterns but, honestly, I can’t retain the names of most of them (not good with names:)

🙂 Linda

This was an awesome week… looking forward to next week

I absolutely love the quilt made by Lisa Pickering. They are all beautiful!

So many fabulous designers out there. When I want to go scrappy, I check out Bonnie Hunter or Edyta Sitar. I also love Coriander Designs and Lella Boutique.

I enjoy the work of so many designers. I don’t have a favorite, I just go with what appeals to me at the moment.

Sew much talent with the Island Batik ambassadors and the Tucker tools.

It is really hard to pick just two because I love so many patterns and designers. They are all so generous and when you are on a set income that sure is a huge help. I can name Lisa Bongean, Cory Yoder and Sherri from A Quilting Life. There are so many more I could post.

Two of my favorite quilt designers are Bonnie Hunter and Elenore Burns.

So many beautiful quilts and interesting tools…very bad with names unless I’m looking at patterns. I guess Quilting with Claudia and Bonnie Hunter are some of my favorites.

Thanks for the tips and eye candy

I like Chelsea Stratton and Sheri McConnel the mom and daughter duo. I also like Pride and Joy!

I am gradually moving to modern designs in my quilts. Simple designs. I enjoyed Gundrun and Zen chic. Thanks for tips on studio 180 tools.

So many favorite designers love Tula Pink, Christa Watson, Pat Sloan, and Bonnie Hunter of course. I sure miss Pam Bono.

So many Favourites —Bonnie Hunter, Gudrun Erlsdatter, Tula Pink, Giucy Guice. Lella Boutique, Zen Chic….. and on and on.. haha. Thanks!!

I absolutely love Paisley…any way shape or form!

My favorite are Jen Kingwell, Kathy Doughty, and Elizabeth Hartman. Love their quilts.

I have made so many quilts designed by so many designers. If I had to choose I would say Val Laird and Donna Jordan are top of the list for very different reasons.

Oh boy! Depends on my mood. For traditional it’s Kim Diehl, scrappy Bonnie Hunter, also like Cluck Cluck Sew’s Designs. So many great ones out there!

Cozy wuilt designs are easy to read and fun to do

Ricky Tims patterns are gorgeous!

I like Elinor Burns and and Edyta Sitar. Hard to pick a favorite.

Like so many are commenting, all the designers produce beautiful projects consistently. I love all the designers and appreciate their creativity, professionalism, and devotion to the quilting community. Thanks to all the designers.

I love Judy Nemieyer paper piecing.

I love Sandra from mmmquilts’ patterns. I like a lot of different designers.

Kim Diehl, Bonnie Hunter, Jen Kingwell…

There are so many designers I like. Just to name one right now Zen Chic.

Elizabeth Eastmond is one of my favorite quilt designers.
