normally we have our market line that drops in may for stores to see and so we're not quite ready to show you guys that brand new line but what i wanted to talk with you guys about today is uh some of our lines that are coming in the next couple of months and the various things that you can do with the patterns um just as a reminder our strawberries and rhubarb collection is about to hit shops in the next couple of weeks and that's what that one this one looks like and those would be these patterns that you see here on my left we have a whole nother video that really showcases those if you want to take a look um and then a few months after that we have our pumpkins and blossoms which is our new uh take on our vintage halloween palette that so many of you guys have fallen in love with over the last year and a half um and as you can see it has the addition of that great green and i'm gonna talk to you guys about how to blend that with all hallows eve and go through some of those uh patterns with uh with you guys today so um hopefully you guys will join me for the rest of my presentation and if you are here for the virtual quote market i will be around after for any kind of q a um so please have your questions ready hi guys this is joanna figueroa from fig tree quilts and i wanted to share some about one of my upcoming lines with you it's called pumpkins and blossoms and here is the bundle of it um it's a new take on my vintage halloween palette and it blends perfectly with all hello's eve which i hear is coming in with another printing soon so i just wanted to show you guys some of the pumpkins and blossoms projects and talk a little bit about how it blends and how we can use it together with the all hallows eve that you might still have so the first pattern or project i wanted to share with you is the one right behind me um it's called pumpkin farm and you know you guys if you follow me you know that i'm of the philosophy that there's no such thing as too many pumpkin quilts and so we've added a new one with this little touch of green in there which is part of what sets off the pumpkins and blossoms collection it's kind of our classic vintage orange that we've been loving for so long and we've added um kind of that fig tree green to the collection and changed out the black into kind of a charcoal color so um i'm going to show you that and a couple of the patterns too and the difference in those um and then the second pattern that i wanted to show you guys that i just love it's called laurel wreath and i just finished finding this one recently it's a little bit of a close-up right there it's a really fun graphic block that uses flying geese to create that block right there and with a classic star sawtooth star in the center again it uses a real good assortment of the pumpkins and blossoms collection and it's um it's a really unique a unique take on um on a new block for me so that's laurel reeves and as you can see on the back this is a print from my all hallows eve collection um i didn't have enough yardage at the time of making um for the new one so um the orange is exactly the same basically from the two lines so it's really a great opportunity to blend them we have that and then we have this fabulous classic pattern called midnight moon there it is up close a little bit and this moda has available in one of those fantastic limited edition box kits and this is a really fun simple take on carpenter star block here and using my favorite sew and flip method and all of these pieces so that you don't have to struggle with bias and again that's midnight moon on the pattern you can see that it can be done in several different color combinations so we have shown it here with the black background but also with the cream background for a totally different look that's what that pattern looks like same with the pumpkin farm that i showed you um you can do it on a taupe background there's actually a larger size in the pattern and or the cream background that i have behind me and then the laurel wreaths with the one size um with a mix of 16 different quarter yards so those are those three patterns the other pattern that i wanted to highlight for you guys has become one of our all-time best-selling halloween patterns is the pumpkins in a row pattern that we did here with all hallows eveline but would look equally fantastic in this pumpkins and blossoms line i mean it uses a charm pack and i have a tutorial on my youtube channel for how to a simple way to do these prairie points that i just love i'm a little bit addicted to the with the prairie points i kind of want to add them to so many different quilts i kind of have to keep myself back but if you guys want to check out that youtube video or share it with your customers if you're a shop owner um it's a really simple and fun way to add so much character to a quilt so that's pumpkins in a row they can be done with the pumpkins and blossoms collection and then of course there's also our other super popular trumpet pattern called pumpkin trio this again this one is done in all hellos eve but just for comparison so i'll just show you guys the two lines right up front next to each other so this is made from all hallows eve and this is made from the the new pumpkins and blossom coming up so the black is a little bit different from the charcoal but it's very easy to add blacks in that you already have into that mix if you want to have something a tiny bit darker or stick with the new kind of smoky charcoal color that's in the collection that's just a tiny bit faded um just for a fabulous twist on that um that warm black that we like so much um so i just wanted to show you guys those and as you can see behind me um there's a whole we have a whole variety and a whole array of um of the halloween quilts and i just wanted to show you guys a little trunk show of those um right now welcome back i wanted to show you guys a trunk show of some of our best-selling halloween quilts made out of either our hall all hallows eve collection or our pumpkins and blossoms collection so i'm going to start off with these little ones um starting off with the simple pumpkins in a row quilt with these fabulous prairie points made out of a charm pack and our other small pattern made with a charm pack pumpkins pumpkin trio a really fun large pieces fun pumpkins great would be great with pumpkins and blossoms fabric because you could add in one of those yummy cream greens in there this is probably our best selling all hallows eve pattern it's a block of the month it's laid out in 12 months if you're a store owner for a really easy breakdown and let me see if i can show you the whole pattern like that um i know that there are at least a few different shops that are planning on running this already out of the pumpkins and blossoms collection so i really recommend that you guys look into that if you're interested and if you really want some of the black in addition to the charcoal then i think it's fairly simple to add in some great black prints from your stash or your shop if you're a shop owner and this is called midnight stars i think no checkerboard stars i'm telling you guys after i named so many of these things half the time i can't remember this is um just a classic star pattern made out of the all hallows eve collection really fun way to do some strip sets of um for those checkerboards this one is called all hellos medallion and it's again a great class to do great quilt to do as a class or in shop you can work on those different borders so it starts off with one center block and then has some fun orders to add to it that really make the quilt this is a favorite also and one of our most widely shown on social media is our pumpkins and cream and we basically pulled out all the oranges and grays from all hallows eve could be done exactly as in the same feel from the pumpkins and blossoms collection and they're nice large sized pumpkins done in just creams and grays and oranges if you want to compare to the one that's hanging behind me in terms of size these new pumpkins on the pumpkin farm are much smaller if you guys can see that right there with the green and the stems are longer it's a different feel um this literally feels more like pumpkins growing on a vine and these are more like jack-o'-lanterns so that's just the difference right there in those two next up is midnight crossing made out of all hellos eve really fun block really enjoyed making this one [Music] stars and some sew and flip pieces in the center some charm with some nine patches this one coming up this one right here is called halloween harlequin and sorry all those quotes are falling down behind me um this is made with a layer cake and a template that you can just either trace or there's also a mathematical way to do this um in the pattern so you don't have to use a template at all really loved playing around with this graphic feel and that's also out of that all hallows eve would look equally fabulous with the pumpkins and blossoms and these are besides the one behind me the pumpkin farm and is made with a new all uh with new pumpkins and blossoms there's the laurel wreath which i love it's such a graphic block and one that i'm really happy with how it turned out it's a very unique one fun to make although this one is a little bit more it takes a little bit of time i really love that one and midnight moon which is the boxed kit that comes with the all with the pumpkins and blossoms collection and when i say box kit from moda and with many of the collections moda chooses one of their favorite patterns and they box it into these beautiful cardboard limited edition boxed sets and so anytime i refer to a kit in a box that's what i'm talking about so this is called midnight moon again and that's in there um as you can see behind me i have other halloween quotes but those are the bulk of the um of the collection from all hallows eve and pumpkins and blossoms and again i just wanted to show you guys that's what pumpkins and blossoms looks like in its entirety and um you could use the quilts like for some of these where i didn't use the greens um and then definitely add in the greens for an extra pop like this one behind me or like the harvest wreath so hopefully you guys enjoyed that and i hope that you are on your way to creating your own halloween collection [Music] hi guys another thing i wanted to show you real quick is that we have started adding uh these wonderful wool bundles whenever we can with to coordinate with a new collection if we don't already have that palette in a wool bundle um so for our upcoming strawberries and rhubarb collection that will be in shops hopefully within the next month there's a picture of the bundle and this is our strawberries and rhubarb wool bundle that coordinates perfectly with that for some fabulous wool projects so then that's one combo and then with this collection the pumpkins and blossoms we have our trick or treat grouping it doesn't have the green in there but it has that classic halloween feel so you could obviously add in some green wools we also do have a christmas one coordinated with christmas figs and any of our christmas palettes and our very popular americana rose summer roll bundle so um we have uh all these we sell through uh united notions moda as well as weak style works um who are the folks that um hand dye all of these for us so they're just a fantastic add-on for you to play with when you're working with the line if you're um one of our customers and if your shop is just a wonderful thing to carry um to coordinate so um i just wanted to show you guys those in case you weren't aware that we have those coordinating rules
