We are excited to feature Thimbleberries’ Lynette Jensen on our blog. Her new Lodge & Lakeside 2008 Quilt Club has just been revealed to rave reviews! Here’s a glimpse into her newest creation.
“The most important thing about Quilt Club is the opportunity it creates for quilters to get together with others who love the craft of quiltmaking to share ideas and
inspiration. I wanted to establish a format for this to happen, and that is Club,” says Lynette.Each year Lynette unveils an all-new fabric collection for Thimbleberries Quilt Club. This year’s program is Lodge & Lakeside, inspired by the beautiful lodges and lakes in Lynette’s home state of Minnesota. “As I have traveled around the country and abroad I have noticed the appeal of getting away to a place of natural beauty seems to be universal,” Lynette explains.
Just like a beautiful lakeside lodge retreat, Club offers quilters a creative escape for a few hours each month while
attending meetings at their local quilt shop. The fabric designs convey both the rugged beauty of woodlands and the nautical charm of lakes in two very distinctive colorways. The supporting prints comprise multicolor florals and textures, geometrics, tonal coordinates and theme prints. Members have a wide range of options to choose from and each quarter offers a new project, large and small. The smaller projects are perfect for gifts, to use up a fabric stash, and for those just learning to quilt. The seasonal themes throughout the collection will continue to inspire quilters the whole year through.
