In the April 2009 issue of McCall’s Quilting Magazine you will find Heirloom Creations of Sioux Falls, SD highlighted by Linda Turner Griepentrog’s article “Quilt Shops USA”.

Linda writes, “Is a quilt a quilt the country ‘round, or are there significant regional differences within our own nation? We asked 12 stores around the U.S. to share their most popular quilts with us. See what the shop owners say is a hit in their areas.”

As many of you know, articles written for magazines are finalized about 6 months prior to their publication. This can sometimes be difficult for fabric featured in a quilt on the front cover. By the time the magazine is published the fabric can be completely sold out!

We did not want that to happen to the pattern so we are happy to have selected a quilt for this article by local designer, Lynn Schiefelbein of Oak Street Quilts. We know we can still get patterns once the magazines was published!

Lynn’s “Stacked Cakes” pattern completely uses up one 40 strip Jelly Roll for the quilt and one set of borders. The only fabric to purchase is for 2 borders.

As a designer and artist, Lynn uses her sense of design and style to create easy to follow quilt patterns that enable you to use your own selection of fabrics to create something truly unique. Oak Street Quilts is a family run business. All of her patterns are printed in full, glorious color on glossy paper.The Stacked Cakes pattern is available at Heirloom Creations along with a wide selection of Jelly Roll collections. We are happy to mail out patterns and Jelly Rolls if you wish to purchase them with a credit card by calling the store at 605-332-4435.
