Welcome to
Hearts & Pines Country Quilts |
Summer is not so much a season as a melody, that tune of contentment we hum as the days begin to beautifully blur.

The sun is bright, the flowers are blooming, and our gardens have taken on a life of their own! There's nothing quite like summer...the days seem easier, laughter is lighter, and color is everywhere. It's a nice time to slow down with a good book, a great quilt project, and perhaps a bit of shade.

This summer marks the sixth anniversary of Hearts & Pines Country Quilts. We're celebrating with two new Hearts & Pines designs -- our new Christmas Club quilt, "All Hearts Come Home For Christmas", and a new, exclusive Mystery Quilt Club called Prairie School Sampler. These are my newest designs and I hope you'll join us. The Christmas Club, featuring beautiful Moda Christmas fabrics by Holly Taylor, is really a mini-club, lasting only three months. The Prairie School Sampler Mystery Club is a twelve-month club, packed full of Moda fabrics from Kansas Troubles' designer Lynne Hagmeier. Each section of the mystery takes us along a pioneer's journey...Going West, The Log Cabin, Chores, Foods, The Three R's, and Special Occasions. You'll find the details for both designs in the Quilt Club section and you may start as soon as you're ready! Our quilt clubs are awesome! Are you excited about Thimbleberries Club 2010? It's called Village Green, and all three colorways are spectacular! Throughout our clubs, we have a great group of quilters hailing from all around the globe -- what a roster of amazing women! Our Sylvia's Bridal Sampler Club is a perfect match for quilters and readers who are fans of Jennifer Chiaverini's "Elm Creek Quilts" books. Sylvia's Bridal Sampler includes 140 blocks, and the beautiful Moda fabrics are a perfect choice for this club! WOW! Our Moda YOU Green Piece Quilt Club roster is filled and our members are really enjoying working with the beautiful Moda wool alternate blocks. July is a GREAT time to begin a new quilt full of patriotic spirit -- you might like our American Heritage Club or Eleanor Burns' Victory Quilts Club! Click on the Quilt Clubs button and check them out! Eleanor Burns' Egg Money Quilts Club is a perennial favorite around here -- how could it not be, with all of those cheery reproduction prints from the 1930's AND the included DVD set of Egg Money Quilts with Eleanor Burns leading us through each block! Do you like quilting AND embroidery? Try Winter Wonderland Club. If you love wintertime quilts, both the Snowman Collector Club and Joys of Winter Club enjoy new members every month...those snowmen just never melt! Please join us!
