Happy Monday Everyone!
It’s a gorgeous day here in Minnesota, even if an evil wind last week blew most of the leaves off the trees. The sun is shining, it’s in the mid sixties, calm and there are still a few fall colors around.
Today I want to share two new patterns that will be showing at fall market later this month. They just arrived from the printer, so our pre orders will ship out today. That means you could start seeing them arriving in stores in a couple of days.
First up is Little Charmers 7. You may remember my obsession with charm squares (and all precuts), which resulted in my other Little Charmers patterns. It has been a while since I have made any runners, so it was time to come out with a few new charm patterns.
The pattern includes directions for all three runners. Each requires just one charm pack, along with some background and binding fabric.
Above: the Loops Runner
Can you tell I had some fun quilting these? I did pebble quilting on the one above and some fun free-hand designs below.
Above: The Ribbon Runner shown in the fabric line “Blitzen” by Basic Grey
Above: The Dresden Runner, shown in my Summer House line (coming out in January).
The next pattern is called Galleria.
As you can see, the description on the pattern reads: a place to show off a perfect collection of fun fabrics. I have been saving this collection of fat quarters for something that really showed them off.
I couldn’t find quite the right pattern, so I had to make up a new one 😉 The fabrics are from the Secret Garden line from Sandi Henderson (along with a couple from my stash)
There is a touch of applique, just to add a bit of interest and break up the piecing.
Every fall, I borrow my neighbor’s maple tree for a few photos. It makes the perfect quilt rack, don’t you think?
I always like to give away the first copies of the newest books or patterns. If you are interested, just leave me a comment. Later this week, I will draw a couple of winners.
If you are interested in purchasing the patterns, click here and here.
I am just finishing up some photos on a kit for Galleria. I’ll be back soon with the pics. Thanks for stopping by!
Trends and Traditions 
As always…wonderful!!
I love the Galleria quilt! I like how you cut the triangles off the corners to make room for the flower appliques–how clever you are!!
oh, i can’t decide which pattern i like better! i am not an appliquer, but that quilt – i could handle that, and it really adds a ton of pop…. i love patterns that showcase fat quarters!
I like the name you chose for the Galleria pattern. That is much better than anything that I had thought of. I love seeing your quilting as well as the patterns. I always struggle with the quilting designs.
These are all wonderful patterns. I can’t wait for the Artful Home fabrics to come out. These are all my favorite looks.
The Charmers are so “charming”…love them. You are a very talented lady!
I love all the patterns! The Galleria pattern is very different from things I have seen before, which is one of the main things I look for in a pattern.
The quilts are beautiful!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Awesome pictures – the fall colors are beautiful as they always are in Minnesota – the quilting really enhances the beautiful quilts and runners.
Love your new pattern! Like your quilting too. Look often for inspiration!
I really like your new patterns & I’m always looking for ways to use those charm packs that I just can’t quit buying. Love the Galleria pattern, too as I like being able to showcase certain fabrics.
Love the new patterns. I was just thinking I needed to start some Christmas presents and these would be perfect to make and give as gifts.
So cute! Can’t wait to get your new fabric in January – my first granddaughter will be born in January! I love seeing your baby’s pictures – he is so cute!
Love both patterns but the table runners are really getting me excited!
I love them all! Thanks for the chance to win!
Love the new patterns. Esp the quilt featuring favorite fabrics.
Love these, as always! Especially the Dresden Runner and also love the idea of Galleria to show off your favorite fabrics! Think I want to try them both!
Lovely patterns!
I seem to always LOVE your work. You are my favorite designer. Love the pictures of your house and land too.
Love the galleria pattern – I have lots of favorites
One of the first table runners I made and the first one I FMQed was Little Charmers II, Scrappy Stars. It hangs in the kitchen all summer long. I went on to make the same thing as a 3 X 3 wall hanging for the big wall in our new cathedral ceiling kitchen! Love the designs!
These patterns are beautiful. Thanks for the giveaway.
I love the Galleria pattern, and the name conjures up a picture of aTuscany patio!
Wonderful new patterns! I really like your Little Charmers patterns – they are such fun. Thanks for the chance to win!
Love the new quilt pattern, and so excited that you have a new little charmers pattern, as I have all of you other little charmers patterns. Just made the Game Board from the Little Charmers 6 pattern over the weekend using fall fabric by Sandy Gervais for Moda.
I love your patterns, and I love your color choices, I wish I had that talent with color choice. Have a Great Week 😀
I love looking at your designs and fabric. I love your use of bold fabric. I also enjoy your knitting! I am both a knitter and quilter but your skill far exceeds mine!
Love the new table runners, have you older patterns and have made them many times. Also love the fabric. Thanks for the new patterns and the giveaway.
These are both wonderful patterns. I want to make both!
Love anything with precuts and these patterns look so nice. Especially love the fabrics you choose,even if some are your own fabrics!
Oh I *love* these! I’m a sucker for charm packs and runners anyway. 🙂
Love the patterns and the fab quilting, Heather. Thanks soooo much for a chance.
I am in love with the Galleria quilt! But I didn’t see the size? Or did I overlook it? 🙂
Karen – It is about 67″ x 79″. I use it as a large wall quilt, but it would also work as a throw or for a twin size bed.
Great pattens All are just fabulous and also love your fabrics choice and quilting!!
Galleria is GORGEOUS!!!! Love it!!!
Love your new little charmers book ( and your new fabric line too)!!
I love Galleria! I will definitely be adding that to my collection.
I love your new patterns, and I cant wait to see your new fabric line in the stores.
Hard to know what’s my favorite but Galleria keeps coming to mind. Enjoy your quilting.
I’ve just been given some 5″ squares with no idea what to do with them. This is great inspiration.
Beautiful quilt with a very appropriate name. I am always amazed you can keep coming up with new ideas for charm squares. Your quilting adds even more interest to your projects.
Galleria is beautiful, I would like to make that!
Very nice! It is always nice to have a pattern to make with one charm pack and some background fabric! What a beautiful tree to hang a quilt in!
Of course I’m interested! Love the new patterns!
They are all wonderful! What fun, pretty patterns.
Heather:
Your patterns are always a work of art. We are so fortunate to have talented women like you to provide our quilting with so many options.
I would love those patterns! I have some beautiful fabric that’s just waiting for them! Thank you for the chance to win=)
Great new patterns – more for my to-do list.
I have all the other Little Charmers patterns so I am excited there is a new one. I love runners!
Loving the new Little Charmers, I love runners this time of year. Galleria is beautiful, I agree-just right for those “special” fabrics. Secret Garden is perfect for the pattern. Thanks for the chance to win.
Yes I would love to have your neighbor’s “quilt rack” in my yard! 🙂 Your quilt is beautiful and I always love your table runners!! Looking forward to seeing your fabric in stores soon! Thanks for the chance at the give away. 🙂
Galleria is going into my gallery of quilts to make!!!
Heather, I love the new patterns, Thanks so much for a chance to win some. Good Luck to everyone…
I have a collection of fabrics that would be perfect for the galleria quilt. I also love the table runners.
I love your charm pack table runners. Can’t wait to try one.
Love the new fabrics and patterns. I’m having a great time making table toppers out of your fabrics for Christmas gifts. Thanks for your creative thinking.
Beautiful patterns! I particularly love the idea of the Galleria quilt.

The Galleria quilt is gorgeous Heather!
Love your new patterns and the fabric. I just love the greys and you seem to use them a lot.
Galleria is so great! I love the highlighted quilting in those larger blocks!
I always enjoy you lovely patterns and fabrics. What a treat for a wet fall day!
What wonderful patterns! I love charm patterns that only require one pack~ I have a number of packs waiting for the perfect patterns and these definitely fit the bill! Also Galleria is gorgeous! Just gorgeous. Thank you for the chance to own my own pattern!
I love these new patterns! I just finished a wedding quilt using another pattern of yours (from Livin’ Large 2) that shows off large prints and it was so much fun to see it come together. You are a very talented designer.
Love them all! Will there be any kits? Thanks!
The Dresden Plate pattern is my favorite, although I really like the other ones too. Your quilt on the ” tree hanger” is beautiful. I have so my collections with just enough yardage left to really show them off with that pattern. Thanks again
Wow! A baby and time to sew…so glad you made time to work out these wonderful new patterns. I fell in love with charm packs this summer! Quick cutting, sewing and amazing results….my new go-to when I have ( or can actually “make) the time to see…..thanks for sharing!
As always, more cute pattern from you!
I’m in Mn too, what a wonderful day. Love the new patterns especially Galleria. Hope I win. What, no pictures of the little charmer person?
Gorgeous new patterns!! I can’t decide which one I like better.
Absolutely love the table runner patterns especially the dresden runner!!! Table toppers & runners are my favorite things to quilt!!
Love,love,love the new patterns! If I am not lucky enough to win them; I will definitely be buying them. I have 4 of your other Little Charmer patterns as I also realllllly like those charm packs. That is my one downfall every year when new ones come out!
Me gusta mucho visitar su blog y ver las novedades así como va creciendo su Bebe . Y como no me gustan sus diseños y sus nuevos patrones
No matter which of these I might win, I would love it! Thx for the chance.
The patterns are great! How do you have time to do so much???
Beautiful!!!
These are just Darn cute. Love those Charm squares myself and I just bought some grey solid for a background. I sure do need to win one of these patterns so I can use some of my charms and the grey background… Very cute, keep up the great creative work you do!
I agree- Great new patterns. I really like the Dresden Quilt Runner. Maybe it’s the colors, too. I would love to win any thing you have created. Thanks

Love the runners. Also love using charm squares so that is the perfect combination.

Karen
Fabulous patterns – they make me want to splurge on fabric and sew up large. Thanks for sharing them with us.
I saw and coveted the Blitzen line this weekend. Your runner in that line definitely shows it off. Hope you draw my name-cuz I’d love to stitch up my charm pack in that pattern! Love your stuff.
Your new table runners and quilt are beautiful and I would love to win your patterns, Thanks so much for the chance to win.

gorgeous patterns, as always! thanks for the chance!
I just used one of your Little Charmers 5 patterns to make a table runner for our Church’s auction. It came together very easily! Thank you for the chance at the giveaway!
I love the new quilt pattern! Always looking for new ones that I can make for grandbabies. We have relatives in Duluth, MN, and were ther last summer. (2011). Nice state but you can have your armyworms! Was there once when they were real bad.
I love them all! Especially the Dresden Runner and the Galleria quilt. I look forward to making them!
BEAUTIFUL!`
Beautiful, as always! I especially love the Dresden Runner – I love anything Dresden!
I would be over the moon happy to win one of your patterns Heather. That quilt is GORGEOUS!!!!
Love your Galleria Quilt! It really is perfect!
Galleria is my favorite – what a showcase for Sandi’s fabrics! I love the modified geometric shapes that allow for whimsical flowers in a “wow” color that isn’t overbearing. Good job coordinating those fall colors, too!
Fresh, inspiring, and doable! Thank-you for all your efforts and give aways.
I love these new patterns! Your quilt is absolutely wonderful! Can’t wait to make that one with some very special fabric! You are right, it really shows off the fabric well. Thanks for offering the giveaway!
Everything looks fabulous! Thanks for the chance to win one of your patterns! :0)
Both patterns are “winners” in my book! I love your new fabric line too! I would be so thrilled with either one of them. I am so enjoying the pictures of your little one. What a beautiful and loved baby.
I would love to win your patterns! I love all your work (and love seeing your beautiful baby)!
Both of them are beautiful but I like the Galleria quilt most. Thanks for the chance to win a copy. Hugs Ullis i Sweden
Your patterns and color combos are beautiful – as usual!
I’m so glad you came out with another table runner book! You have by far the best runners (and quilt patterns) on the market! I’m also excited for Galleria because I have a lovely stack of fabrics that I want to showcase but nothing, until now, seemed exciting enough to make me dare to cut them up. Your patterns are always modern and sophisticated and new and different so I’m always excited for your next book. I have more of your books and fabric than any other designer out there. I’m a big fan!
I love these patterns! I have never made a table runner before, but I am ready to now! Beginning quilter with my experience quilter mom’s help, so this would be a fun project for us!
Who wouldn’t be charmed by these beautiful table runners and Galleria is stunning. I want them both, will wait for the draw and add them to my shopping cart just in case.
Love both patterns! The fabrics in each project show them off just perfectly. I can see me making the Galleria quilt many times over.
Love both new patterns, I have to have Little Charmers 7 to go with my collection.
Thanks for sharing your new stuff always fun to see.
I love all of your patterns and fabric lines–everything is always gorgeous!! I would love to add either one of these patterns to my stash–just in time for creating Christmas gifts! Thanks for the chance to win!
These are awesome! Once again you have outdone yourself. I will definately have to buy both of these if I do not win. Already have the first 6 little charmers so I must complete my set! :). The other one may be the answer to my latest dilemma, haven’t been able to pick a pattern for a certain group of fabric I want to cut into and this one would work beautifully! Thanks for the chance!
Love the new patterns!! I am always on the lookout for charm square patterns and yours are wonderful. Quilt pattern is awesome too. Did I mention how adorable Carter is?
As always, you have created some awesome designs! Love the quilting and touch of applique.
Another great job on patterns…. I love my Little Charmers patterns. Keep them coming. Thanks for the giveaway.
So pretty! I love all the table runners and your new fabric line is gorgeous 🙂
Your color choices are always perfect! Just beautiful. Thanks for all the great inspiration.
Heather, every time I see your beautiful patterns I’m tempted to give applique a try. And I LOVE the Galleria quilt AND the table runners. I have a table runner on my dining room table at all times and love to trade them out each season.
Galleria is so pretty especially when hanging outdoors with all the gold leaves. Should look pretty with gold walls too….or in my case cream walls.
Your patterns and the quilts done are adorable!! Thanks for the chance to win the patterns!!
I enjoy checking out your blog and really like your quilt patterns and choices of fabrics.
I’m a Heather pattern junkie.
And these are simply great!
Mary beth
How do you make it all come together with the little one & all? Always “time” to make a runner or two…Thanks for a chance…
Love your DRESDEN RUNNER – in fact I love all of your patterns and fabrics. Hard to decide which is a favorite……
Thanks for all you do
I’d love to make any of those runners. I’ve been gifted with some charm packs, so I’m ready!
You have been very busy. Love all the quilts and runners. I’m going to have to try the pebble quilting, love that look.
Your table runner ideas are fantastic, as always! I marvel at the pebble quilting–makes such a dramatic difference in the runner. Beautiful quilts and great twists on ideas for precuts. These patterns are sure to fly off the shelf!
I love your new pattern. Thanks for the giveaway.
Karen

I love your new patterns (and the “old ones” too)
I love the little charmers. I am wanting to create a new runner and these look wonderful! I just found your blog and love all your designs and quilts.
Fabulous new patterns!
Love the fresh new look of these patterns – thank you!! But no baby pics??!! 🙂
Wow. Just beautiful quilts as always. I really love them all but am very much drawn to the The Dresden Runner since I just love Dresden blocks.
I hope you do great at Market.
