As part of the @houstonmqg anniversary meeting this year, @saroy shared a lesson on making quilted postcards. I have loved turning to these fast, fun and functional (because I still send snail mail) projects! I get to pick through my scraps and do the most improvy improvisation possible with no disappointing results. Bonus poins for the opportunity to use up odd threads and half full bobbins. Winning!

It's a damp & chilly Saturday after Thanksgiving at my house, but here's hoping you got to spend your holiday with loved ones. With gratitude and appreciation for all the goodness in my life and especially the people, here's a look at my 𝗙𝗹𝘆 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲 pattern, the title of which really sums up what's important to me - family, friends and of course, home. ⁣

Thanksgiving tomorrow will mark the end of pumpkin

Thanksgiving tomorrow will mark the end of pumpkin season for me, so I thought I'd share this modern version of my 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝘂𝗺𝗽𝗸𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 pattern as one last hurrah to my favorite gourd. Whether you are staying home or traveling for the holiday, have a safe and happy celebration full of gratitude and light!⁣

This was my absolute favorite 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘆 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 table topper which unfortunately went missing in the mail a few years ago (yes, I ugly cried!) I couldn't bring myself to make a new one for a while but the grief has passed and it's time for a fresh version! I'm mixing in some orange, turquoise, red and yellow as a nod to the mid-century style I love. I'm sure the colorful new version will become an old friend in no time! ⁣

Magazine publications have to be submitted long before the issue hits the newsstand. 𝗔𝗹𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲 is available now in the November issue of #AmericanQuilterMagazine from @aqsonline but it was ready to submit during the hot & sunny summertime! I took it for a photo outing one day and captured this fresh, bright snapshot. I guess that makes it an all season quilt, right?⁣

I've always loved this version of my 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴 pattern. The background is actually a multi-colored dot pulled from my stash so it's a little wacky when you look at it up close, but it was another way to play with color and experiment with fabric blending that, to my eyes, worked. Whaddayathink? (The back is hot pink llamas, so hey...anything goes!) ⁣

My "𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘇𝗲𝘄𝗮𝘆" pattern

My "𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘇𝗲𝘄𝗮𝘆" pattern is now live in my webstore for retail or wholesale purchase. Designed in #eq8 from @theelectricquiltcompany and crafted with beautiful @hoffmanfabrics bali batiks, I'm really happy with the way this one came out. No specialty rulers required for the peaky-and-spike segments, so it's actually beginner friendly!⁣

Is there anything better than a quilt straight out

Is there anything better than a quilt straight out of the dryer? I love the wrinkly, shrinky, comfy cozy warmth! Of course, there are heirloom quilts that wouldn't stand up to modern machine wash/dry and some quilts are meant to be flat and perfect (so proceed as you think best for yours) but quilts I make from modern fabrics don't mind the process. I do regularly throw a color-catcher sheet or two in "just in case" there's any dye bleed.

𝗙𝗹𝘆 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲 is

𝗙𝗹𝘆 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲 is a FQ friendly pattern that features "mock flying geese" made entirely of half-square triangle units. That makes it easy enough for a beginning quilter while creating more visual interest by combining a larger number of fabrics in every block! Designed in #eq8 from @theelectricquiltcompany, there are two size options but this 80" version is my personal favorite.⁣

I rarely see snow in Texas but that doesn't stop me from having some serious love for these Frosty Friends (who never melt!) As a table topper in either of two sizes and your choice of finishing shapes or as a tree skirt, these friendly folk are the sweetest result of winter flurries and just right for the holidays! Pattern in my webstore or at your local quilt shop. ⁣
