Expert Tip

Cori Derksen and Myra Harder design both quilt patterns and fabrics. Their pattern company, Blue Meadow Designs, is based in Winkler, Manitoba. The inspiration for their baby quilt duo came from their Love Joy Peace collection for RJR Fabrics. "You could personalize the quilt by monogramming the baby's first initial in place of the B," says Myra. "Simply find a font you like on your computer, then enlarge it to the desired size to make your own monogram pattern."
