We picked up a great Fat Quarter Pack from Quilt Market made from a line of fabric called “He Loves Me II” by Maywood Studio.

This line is just plain sweet. And Maywood had a wonderful display showing several quilts made with the line which comes in three colorways…a soft blue, soft yellow and soft pink.

We have been playing with this fat quarter pack since we got back—trying to decide what to make with the line.  Then I found this blog, "Di Mill", who also loves the line as well, plus "Di Mill" posted some great photos of the quilt samples from Market.

The line was created by Jackie Robinson of Animas Quilts in Montana.  Jackie also has another line called with Maywood called “He Loves Me” which also features her cute daisies.

“He Loves Me” is in shops now and “He Loves Me II” is one the way.

Jackie is also an international teacher and lecturer and author.  To read more about Jackie, read the story below which is from her website.  We can also see the whole line on Maywood’s site or on Jackie’s.  On her site, you can also download free newsletters, free block of the month series and a free catalog.

Jackie Robinson lives in Eureka, in scenic northwestern Montana with her husband, Jery Wyatt.

Jackie opened her first quilt shop in a St. Louis suburb in 1982. In '88, they sold it to make a choice move to Durango where they opened Animas Quilts. Along the way they also started Animas Quilts Publishing, featuring Jackie's quilt designs in books and patterns. They sold the quilt shop in Durango in 1999, and kept Animas Quilts Publishing. Now they live in NW Montana.

An international teacher and lecturer, Jackie has authored twelve quilting books. She is best known for her geometric patterns, creating new and expanded designs from traditional shapes. Jackie has made in excess of 400 quilts. Her teaching style is energetic. Students are always encouraged to develop their skills based on the material presented. Jackie believes in sharing all she possibly can in the given amount of time available.

Her quilts have been featured on the covers of Quilt World and Creative Quilting. American Patchwork and Quilting wrote a feature story about her Frank Lloyd Wright quilts and then, in 1997 they selected her shop, Animas Quilts, as one of the ten shops to feature in their Sampler issue. Her Three-Dimensional Patchwork was featured in the Nov/Dec '97 Quiltmaker and the Dec. '97 Quilter's Newsletter Magazine.

Jackie offers a range of workshops and lectures for shops and guilds including classes on Tessellations, Three Dimensional Patchwork, and Wright's art glass interpreted in quilts. In her lecture about F. L. Wright, she literally "puts him on". Additionally, there are workshops designed specifically to sharpen machine piecing skills. Lately, she has been interpreting the pottery designs of the Ancient Puebloans in quilts.
