Batty Bat Quilt Block - my free bonus block is liv Batty Bat Quilt Block - my free bonus block is live on the blog today! I designed this block for the Midnight Moon Quilt Along with @modafabrics Isn’t it the cutest thing? If you’re not sewing along you can definitely jump in still—there’s plenty of time to finish before October hits 🧡 Head over to my blog to get the free pattern and see the absolutely adorable quilt I now have to make in my spare time 🤣 And if you love process photos, Moda has a great post today showing step by step how to make the block once you have the pattern.

Happy Saturday!

Our Midnight Moon Quilt-along starts next Saturday!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We're using April Rosenthal's Midnight Magic II collection, an assortment of backgrounds from the collection, Moda Basics and a few of our favorites from other collections, and the Summer Moon book from It's Sew Emma (ISE 927) to make a spooky-cool quilt by Halloween.  Moda's Tammy V and ModaLissa are making two blocks a week, and they'll be sharing tips and tricks every Saturday, and a few bonus blocks - @nithaystack and @modalissa.

I couldn’t help myself. When the idea popped int I couldn’t help myself. When the idea popped into my head it just had to be done. April’s $5 pattern of the month is most definitely one of my best selling patterns—and obviously it doesn’t have to be all about Halloween…
Pictured here in my #candycanelanefabric and I may have plans for a spring version…and a summer version….

I've been hustling to clean up after Christmas, and New Year's, and having my kids home for the break (which I LOVE--but BOY can they leave stuff everywhere...) but as soon as there's a semi-presentable place to take those photos, I'll DO IT! :) Thanks for your patience with me friends.
