Hazel has been pouring over the new Wide Backs cat Hazel has been pouring over the new Wide Backs catalog from @modafabrics for the last 10 minutes—reading the names and asking me who designed the “beautiful fabrics!” She’s already chosen several Christmas gifts for me out of the Home and Gift catalog, too, and several for herself. 😍😂 So proud to be a part of this company and to call the artists in these pages my friends. 🧡

A free block pattern today on my blog to honor my A free block pattern today on my blog to honor my country and those who fight and have fought for our freedom. Link in profile. 🇺🇸

Honoring and thanking our Veterans today, and always. I love this country. God bless America. 

UPDATE: This pattern uses foundation paper piecing—so there is not a fabric cut list. I’ll throw a link to my paper piecing tutorial in my links for anyone unfamiliar with this technique.

If only I could show you the other side! This quil If only I could show you the other side! This quilting and texture 😍🤤 PRO TIP: Next time you have a quilt done by machine, ask your quilter to scale down the pattern. You’ll pay more but you will love it so much it won’t matter. Clover clips for scale...some of those lines are 1/4” apart!
It’s a beautiful day for some chain piecing. Han It’s a beautiful day for some chain piecing. Hang in there friends. 🧡

If you buy multiple precuts I will refund shipping as needed.

Sometimes simple is stunning. My 12-year-old daughter pieced this sample with me to make her first quilt that wasn't just layer cake squares--we loved working together--and we finished piecing the top in a single day! Wildfield is a fun pattern to just grab a Jelly Roll and start sewing.

There's nothing more adorable to me than bows in little girl curls and bow ties around a ruddy cheeked toddler. Sunday Best celebrates my best efforts to get my kids ready for church, and reminds me that those little bows won't be around forever. <3

An adorable gift for a new little one, this is a quick pieced quilt that you can make in an hour or two! Simple straight piecing makes this a great quilt for a beginner, or a super fast finish for a more experienced quilter. Make a few and have them on hand for last minute gifts! Paper and PDF patterns are in the shop now and this is also included in the Homestead pattern bundle.

Midnight Magic 2 🎃 Halloween fabric you can act Midnight Magic 2 🎃 Halloween fabric you can actually stand to have in your house. 😂 By far the most common comment I’ve had about these prints (and the original Midnight Magic) is “I’m not a Halloween person but I love this!” Which is exactly what I was going for. My kids and husband love Halloween and I’m kind of a Meh about it....so I designed a compromise. 🥳⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
