edyta1-1Edyta’s love for fabric began at a very young age – when she used her mother’s newly hung drapes to create her first fabric project! Fortunately for all of us, her mother recognized her passion for fabric and thus began the journey with fabric and sewing. Creating beautiful gowns ushered Edyta into creative textile design and established the building blocks which lead her into a quilting adventure.

Quilting has enabled Edyta to express herself; her designs are the avenue to release artistic passion! The combination of inspiration from nature, a love for fabric, a keen eye for color, and her family teachings blended into the recipe for developing a flourishing talent for designing quilts and quilting patterns.

“My children and my husband are my greatest motivation, providing the basis that you can accomplish anything you want if you just set your mind to it. Being able to do what I love and share this love with others is the greatest feeling and reward I could imagine! This is the Cinderella dream for me.”

As the owner and co-founder of her company, Laundry Basket Quilts, she has been published in magazines world-wide and her quilts have been honored through receiving numerous awards.

Edyta is proud to carry on her family tradition that fabrics and threads have seamlessly stitched together through the generations.

 
In addition to her many other endevors, Edyta has created three Aurifil thread collections, Quilters Essentials, Kit Art and Over the Rainbow.

My favorite seasonal colors are shades of green. It’s the only color that transcends all seasons. I love the forest greens for winter, and sages for fall, the yellow greens for spring, and the limes and brights for summer. (Can you tell green is my favorite color?). Thanks for the fabulous prizes and a chance to win them.

  242. I love all the shades of blue: to me, they cover summer with clear streams, beautiful flowers and in winter, the ice, cold and snow. All colors are beautiful, but blue does take the cake!!

  243. I like all colors, but I think my favorite seasonal combination would have to be winter. I love ice blue, silver, royal blue and white together, clean, elegant and beautiful!

  244. I love all colors, especially bright colors. I am especially partial to the reds, greens, silvers, gold, blues and whites of Christmastime.

  245. I love the saturated colors of spring and summer flowers. I fill my yard with plants that provide cut flowers for my studio and these same colors find their way into my quilts.

  246. I love pink, green, and yellow from spring for quilts! I also like brights (red, blue, orange, purple, yellow, green)! I love a lot of different color combinations!

  247. I love blues (especially periwinkle) and yellows all year long but do switch to reds and greens for Christmas.

  248. I like sunny yellow colors because they represent intelligence and cheerfulness. I like purple because it is representative of self-esteem. I like turquoise because it symbolizes prosperity. I like orange because reflects energy. Pink helps to bring calm and blue is relaxing. Green symbolizes rejuvenation or the start of a new day. Bringing lots of colors together is joyful, isn’t it or wearing the color you choose for the day can be a reminder of what you are feeling that day. The same with choosing your colors for a quilt or wallhanging. Every time you look at that quilt/wallhanging, it can bring colorful memories. As you can see, I like lots of colors!

  249. I don’t think that I could pick just one season of colors.
    I love the pastel blue/green/pink of spring, the reds and oranges of fall, the bright colors of summer, and (especially) the blues of winter. 🙂

  250. My favorites are the Spring colors–Love the beautiful flowers after the winter is over.

  251. Looking at my garden now, I see reds, pinks, oranges, peach, and many shades of green with white from my gardenia bush. I feel renewed this time of year, so these are my favorite seasonal colors.

  252. I have to say that autumn has my favorite color palette. The colors are so vibrant and on one turning leaf you can find a myriad of colors. Not to mention the tree itself.

    The new book looks amazing and I am a huge fan if Edyta.

  253. I love the fall colors, like rusty copper maybe with a few blues thrown in. In fall there are just so many colors ranging from oranges to greens.

  254. Sorry I missed out on the giveaway chance. I am behind in my blog reading. But I wanted to say how much I love Edyta, and this looks like a great book with some fun projects! I love her collections of Aurifil, too!

  255. I love and use all colors. There is something special about each season: Spring – pastels, Summer – true rich colors, Autumn – rich darker shades, Winter – gray shades of the color wheel. So all year long you get to play with all the colors.
