Quilting Patterns and all Kinds of Quilty Treasures

Spotlight on Design – The All Iowa Shop Hop

By Deb Messina on September 9, 2024August 13, 2024

Earlier this year, I submitted a design for a quilt to be featured in the magazine for the All Iowa Shop Hop. It’s a competitive process – Shop Hop Inc. chooses a handful of quilts to be featured out of all the submissions they receive for each event.

My design was selected! I’m one of 7 lucky designers to be featured in the magazine. The shop hop ran from June 1 – July 31, 2024.

All Iowa Shop Hop 2024

We were provided with a group of themed fabrics and our task was to create a design that showcased the state of Iowa – using only the fabrics provided.

The name of my quilt is Block Party. The required fabrics for this event had me thinking about fields of corn and wheat, neighbors coming together for a meal and some square dancing after a long days work. It didn’t hurt the the fabrics selected for this event happened to be batiks (my favorite). I also have a soft spot in my heart for shades of blue, teal, green and cream.

All Iowa Shop Hop 2024

Block Party was quilted by my friend Kim of Stitched in Purple. The quilting is beautiful!

It was hanging at Crazy Redhead Quilting in Newton, Iowa. Now that the shop hop is over – this beautiful quilt has made its way home to me (Yay!)

Stay tuned – I’ve been selected as a featured designer for several more Shop Hop Inc. events! I can’t wait to show you what I’ve been working on.
