This is one of our favorites! Both the subject matter and its bold use of color make BOTANY the perfect assortment of fabrics for such a spring-themed quilt!

Currently, we have a total of 6 patterns available for download, so make sure to check out our entire Free Patterns Section!
Megan Kibby took these beautiful photos!
Buying fabric always makes for a great time... until that day when the avid fabric enthusiast is forced to come to grips with the fact that her fun little weekend pastime is starting to put a dent into her wallet...
The problem here pretty much boils down to two issues: (1) Quilts that use an eclectic variety of beautifully colored fabrics are awesome... and (2) eclectic varieties of beautifully colored fabrics can get to be VERY expensive.
Thankfully though, necessity has proven, yet again, to breed innovation... because some wonderfully ingenious person came up with the idea of pre-cut kits!
Even though I have always liked each of our fabrics individually, I have to say... that when I saw them come together for the first time, as a group... and interact with one another... something magical happened!
HANCOCK'S OF PADUCAH® must have felt the same way, because they decided to make a kit out of our Garden Variety Quilt Pattern...
Their Quilt Kit will give you everything that you need to make this particular quilt... PLUS, you get to use each of the 40 fabrics without breaking the bank!
My mom designed our Garden Variety Quilt for Fall Market to showcase all 40 fabrics in Botany... we felt that this particular design really allowed the colors to mingle and play off one another... And after looking at the finished product... I really feel that this quilt embodies the essence of spring and nature... the explosion of colors coupled with the organic subject matter just about requires that this quilt be used when picnicing!
And finally... I'm in the mood for a tangent.
Everyone who's ever visited to Paducah, Kentucky for the Annual Quilt Show, has also been to Hancock's of Paducah! The two go hand in hand.
My mom (Jessi), and her three best friends have made this trec for several years now and have made Hancock's their very first stop each time... almost as if the big quilt show, was nothing more than an afterthought!
I've listened to their colorful descriptions each year and they don't seem to go there merely because its a fantastic store... They go there for the "Hancock's Experience"... And it's these stories that made me especially excited when I heard that Hancock's wanted to make a kit out of one of our patterns!
Quilters (armed with little shopping carts) plant themselves between rows of tables piled high with the latest fabrics, (all different measurements). Each person peruses the piles, pulling out favorites... unfolding... refolding... for hours at a time. And after spending these huge chunks of time together... everyone with the same goal in mind... it's only natural that the women begin to feel as though they've formed a camaraderie with one another... one person will yell across the tables for everyone to be on the lookout for a particular fabric... which will often make for yardages being thrown through the air towards some excited recipients...
Apparently, the quilters get so engrossed in their searches... that at closing time each night, an employee will have to announce over the intercom that the store will close in 10 minutes... AND rather than packing up... the women crack up and continue sifting through the mountains of fabric. Definitely a good time!

Writing these patterns has become a very tag-team effort between me and my mom. We design them together. Then she takes the designs and figures out how to bring them to life. She writes up all of the instructions and then emails those, along with some rough sketches, to me. I take these and design the cover art and illustrations. Being a non-quilter... I feel as though I can objectively rate the ease of the instructions... and then add in a little here and there. Additionally, I've spent A LOT of time coming up with (what I consider to be) the perfect illustrations for each step... Because I know how annoying it is to have directions that were written for people with a very high skill level. (I think that if cookbooks would take a similar approach, I might try cooking once in a while...) After the instructions are written up, my mom then tests the patterns for the second time... just to make sure that we have all of our bases covered.
We realize though, that even the most thorough instructions may occasionally sound vague to someone who is new to quilting. So we welcome any comments or questions that you all might come across! Feel free to either post your question here on our blog, or you can email us at LandJ@LaurenAndJessiJung.com and we'll make sure to get back with you right away... as well as update our patterns with any necessary content! Happy quilting!
This is one of our favorites!!
As some of you probably already know, we have six free patterns available for download. When we launched our website in October, we only had two of these six patterns actually loaded onto the site. The rest weren't quite finished yet, but will be available well before our fabric arrives in stores this March.
This is our Blooming Glories Pillow Pattern and I've finally finished all of the formatting!! You can download this from our Patterns Section on our website. The download button is on the right hand side of the page.

One really cool feature of this pattern is the back! It contains an image of the the same flower found on the front... but from behind!
And here's another color option!
Spartanburg's band of seven crazed quilters on a mission...
So before Market, my mom enlisted the help of her 7 close friends from Piedmont Piecers Quilt Guild in Spartanburg, SC (where she's been a member for about 10 years) to help her get ready for Houston... My mom gave everyone the fabric of their choice and told them to have at it!
Yes, this entry is a little after the fact, but we just received all of our creations back from Moda a few weeks ago... and now we have photographs to share!
I think it would be really nice to have a photograph of the 8 women together, striking a Charlie's Angelsesque Style pose. Sadly, no one else has jumped on board with this idea!
These photos were taken by a close friend of mine, Megan Kibby, from Atlanta who is starting up a photography business. You can view more of her photos at Out of the Box Photography .
The last photo is a pattern that we made for the Bake Shop. As soon as the line hits the stores we plan to post the instructions for this pattern there. We wanted to take an Andy Warhol Style towards quilting... The multicolored butterflies is somewhat reminiscent of his Marilyn Monroe silk screen prints.
