Susan Guzman’s “Favorite Things” pillow |
The Aurifil Designer of the Month for April is Susan Guzman. On the Aurifil blog you can read an interview with her, and download the free project (above) that she designed to show off vintage fabrics. Susan’s style is ecclectic; she designs quilt patterns that are contemporary, traditional, scrappy, applique, and folk art styles!

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful pillow. This brings back memories of my grandmothers home. The softness of the colors, the beautiful design. I think I'll have a cup of tea along with a cookie in her memory as that is what we always had at her house.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this pillow.

I love how she used soft colors.. of course this would be a relaxed day pillow.. and I would have no problem relaxing with it.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty project. I can see it done in other fabric combinations too.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it! The vintagy, antiquey look - fabulous!
ReplyDeleteIt's a sweet and delicate design that really shows off the fabrics used. Perfect combination!
ReplyDeleteSusan's project is beautiful. So many directions to go in with quilting. I have been wanting to purchase Aurifil threads, so it would be a treat to win Aurifil threads!
ReplyDeleteSue's project is so pretty and soft in appearance. Thanks for sharing. I've visited her blog before and her work is lovely. Perhaps I will win some Aurifil this month! Congratulations on your entry acceptance for the show!
ReplyDeleteVery nice project.
ReplyDeleteSusan's design is cute and adorable. Small enough to be sooo do-able... not another UFO.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very feminine, delicate project.
ReplyDeleteIf Susan does a project management plan for each project, she's WAY more organized than I will ever be!!
thanks!
Amazing! I love the quilts she did for the 2008 Spring International Quilt Market in Portland...just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors she used. It has a major coziness factor! Thank you of organizing this giveaway. Everyone wins with the pattern :)
