The Artists behind The Snow Buddies Quilt
The Boo Crew Block of the Month is a collaboration between Amy Bruecken Designs and Stitches of Love.
The quilt started with the original drawings and line art of Amy Bruecken of Amy Bruecken designs. Julie Love of Stitches of Love then adapted Amy’s whimsical Snow Buddies designs for sewing machine applique and made the quilt you see in the pattern and will get to make yourself. Brittany then took Amy’s and Julie’s collaborative efforts and turned the artwork into files used to laser cut each individual applique piece for you and digitized the embroidery machine files.
Together, we all three had so much FUN bringing this quilt to life for you to complete as a Block of the Month. We hope that every stitch you take brings you happiness!
Meet Amy
Hi! My name is Amy Kohring Bruecken. I have published needlework patterns for the last 25 years, first with my sister (and best friend) as Sisters & Best Friends, and now as Amy Bruecken Designs since 2007.
I gravitate towards bright colors and have a fondness of CUTE! I love the creative process … from sketching new designs to selecting yummy fibers and fabrics. I am happiest when spending time with my husband and two boys, ideally with a cupcake.
