Pat Sloan’s Quilted Adirondack Chair
Jul 20th, 2010 by Hazel
I am positively BUZZING about today’s premier blog hop for Kathy Peterson’s Adirondack Chair. Our first Adirondack chair comes from Pat Sloan!
Pat Sloan has been creating since she was a child. From the first shoebox dioramas to sketches for a fabric line, there has always been creative energy flowing. When she tried her hand at quilting in 1985, she never looked back. Now, owner and founder of the quilting design and publishing company Pat Sloan & Co., she has published over 20 books, more than 100 patterns, nearly 10 fabric lines, and has had her work featured in major quilt magazines.
Pat first began sharing her knowledge through her publications, workshops, and lectures, but has expanded her reach through social media. She has built quilting yahoo groups, forums, facebook communities, and even the group “Quilters in Second Life” for quilting enthusiasts using the popular virtual world, Second Life. Also interested in beading, painting, and paper crafting, Pat’s overall passion has always been to help others harness their creative energy.
As a quilt designer, she designed her Adirondack chair to look like a double wedding ring quilt pattern. My favorite part about it is that the warm, comfy feeling I get when wrapped up in one of my mother’s quilts is so similar to that relaxed, happy feeling I get when sinking into an Adirondack chair. It’s the perfect pairing!
She shows you the steps to create it yourself, as well as materials, tips, and cute quips! Hop on over to check it out!
