The Signature Quilt: Turning Over a New Leaf Karen Eckmeier of The Quilted Lizard recently shared with us that her quilt Turning Over a New Leaf was selected as the signature quilt at the upcoming Spring Quilt Market! Eckmeier, a designer, teacher, author, and longtime advertiser in FabShop News, started making art quilts in 1996. Her quiltmaking led to show entries and quickly progressed to award-winning recognition at national and international levels. This spurred her to take the leap in 2002 from having a hobby to starting a business. Karen Eckmeier

“Why name it The Quilted Lizard,” you may ask? Eckmeier says lizards have always made her laugh. The cute, tiny, scurrying creatures found their way onto many of her blueribbon-winning quilts. She loved people’s smiles and laughs when they looked at her whimsical creations. Not to mention that over the years she had established quite the collection of lizard pins, belts, T-shirts, hats and more. So, naturally, when it came time to name her company, the lizard seemed to fall into place as her mascot.

Quilting, Teaching, Publishing For years Eckmeier has taught in local shops and at workshops nationwide. She calls her signature techniques “Layered Curves and Accidental Landscapes.” She self-published her latest book, Wiggles & Waves, in 2018. In it the author and designer spotlights free-form curves and celebrates over 20 years of playing with her topstitch piecing technique to create wild curves and dramatic angles. These techniques are also featured in her books Accidental Landscapes and Wearable Waves.

April 2019 ︱ fabshopnews.com

Fast-forward to 2019 and Eckmeier is still turning heads with her award-winning quilts. Turning Over a New Leaf was selected as a winning quilt this past fall in Houston. We asked the designer to tell us about her quilt. Here is what she had to say: Turning Over a New Leaf 2018 (42”x 57”) evolved over several years. I had made well over 100 topstitched Rose Twirls with a Kaffe Fassett millefiori in the center and arranged them on my design wall, only to realize it was not as strong a design as I wanted it to be. So I set the blocks aside for a year until I decided to add my Layered Leaves to them in a totally different design. When I started to sew it together, let’s just say I miscalculated and needed to cut down my leaves to a smaller size.


Hence the name of the quilt refers to the fact that I was truly turning over a “new” leaf. And it was also February of 2018 so I was symbolically turning over that new leaf going into the New Year!

is the ultimate decider. She is always looking for a wonderful quilt that speaks to her personally, knowing it will speak to others as well. Seeking a quilt that lends itself to several mediums, the group considers whether the design detail will translate into their logo and pin, and publication covers. Sometimes that’s an easy call, especially with traditional quilts. Other times, especially with art quilts, it isn’t. Puentes works closely with her graphic design teams to color-match, make adjustments, and create something that transmits the overall feel of the design. “It’s all about making the quilt look great!” she says.

Eckmeier also told us that the instruction to make the Layered Leaves and Rose Twirls featured in The Signature Quilt can be found in Wiggles & Waves. Notice that even the binding “wiggles”—on purpose of course!

Signature Quilt Selection Process To learn about the selection process for Quilt Market’s “signature quilt,” we contacted Nancy O’Bryant Puentes, executive vice president at Quilts Inc., to get the scoop.

Keep your eyes peeled for Eckmeier’s beautiful quilt both online and at International Quilt Market in Kansas City, Missouri. The signature quilt will appear on all print publications, including postcards, catalogs and the Buyer’s Guide. The logo design from the quilt will appear in print and online on the Quilts Inc. website, on all email marketing materials, and on signage throughout the show.

The executive said that any quilt on exhibit is fair game for consideration of the signature quilt. She works closely with her publications & public information and new media teams on the selection.

y

Quilts Inc. gives no preference to a certain style, usually alternating between art and traditional quilt designs from Market to Market. Puentes said they really just try to pick a quilt that people will find interesting and appealing.

With the help of the excellent photography team and design team, the selection group looks for quilts that photograph beautifully and reproduce well in other mediums. Although a number of people are involved in the process, Puentes said she

B A N YA N BATIKS by NOR THCOTT ®

goes to Scotland New

Patience Griffin, award-winning author of the Kilts & Quilts book series, and Banyan Batiks by Northcott have teamed up on a fabric collaboration of the same name. It was a connection that began at Market when she stopped in at the Northcott booth and chatted with Karen Gibbs, creative director at Banyan Batiks. They instantly hit it off, says Griffin, and the two spoke about her becoming a guest designer. The Kilts & Quilts collection for Banyan Batiks by Northcott will be released in October. Patience Griffin Griffin’s novels are about a community of quilters in the fictional village of Gandiegow, Scotland. A quilt is featured in each of the books, and the quilts are offered as patterns for sale. Her latest book, Kilt in Scotland, is also due to be released in October. Griffin’s career started as an engineer with a master’s degree in nuclear engineering. Her path changed when her interest in writing, her love of quilting, and her fascination with her Scottish heritage collided to become the Kilts and Quilts series. Griffin has designed several of the quilts and collaborated with other designers.

Griffin has more recently been working with designers Pam Martin, Sue Carter, and Carin Shaughnessy to design featured quilts for her books. More quilt patterns are on the way! Griffin just announced she has a new book and a new series coming out in late 2020. The new series is set in Alaska.
