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. 🧡

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. 🧡

Just listed my remaining #midnightmagicfabric prec Just listed my remaining #midnightmagicfabric precuts in my shop. They’re sold out at Moda, and no reprint is expected, so if you want precuts to mix and match with Midnight Magic 2 when it comes out next year, now is your chance. Super limited! If you buy multiple precuts I will refund shipping as needed. US only, sorry International friends. 🧡 Also, all orders over $25 get a Homestead mini charm while supplies last. #fatquarters #fabric #quilt #quilter #patchwork #halloween #orange #black
