𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 is a beautiful two-block quilt. It's easy to make in any size and goes together quickly with strip piecing and large 15" blocks! ⁣

So good I want to share it here. This OOPs! was made by @ShonnaLarkey and quilted by Shawna Crawford. I love the additional mini-block rows! Great job!

𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲 is both

𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲 is both one of my earliest and one of my favorite patterns! I've remade it several times and enjoyed the sew every time. This "noir" version came out so beautifully, featuring the same @fronddesignstudios fabric as the original (love those colors) but with dark negative space. Just taking the background from light to dark can make a pattern feel fresh and new. Playing with different hues and shades of fabric is so much fun!⁣

𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 was designed to be a fast and easy project for the busy holiday season. You can make one in no time using striped or large scale seasonal fabric. The pattern is being retired from print and is in limited supply, so don't wait to get your copy from my webstore with free shipping. ⁣

It's officially the holiday season! ⁣
I love making these little 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗞𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻 𝗜𝘁 boots to fill with gift cards, trinkets, candy, toys or special treats. They are a terrific way to use up bits of favorite fabrics and can be filled ahead of time with whatever you choose to greet holiday visitors, carolers, your favorite delivery worker or to gift when gathering with friends to celebrate. Who will you remember with a kick this year? ⁣

On this Thursday of late November we enjoy a lot of things...bounty, family, football and good memories. I also wish you a day of love, peace and hope in this season of reflection and gratitude. Happy Thanksgiving to all!⁣

My 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝘁 𝗦𝗰𝗼𝗼𝘁 pattern recently got a lot of love at the Houston Quilt Festival and now the original sample is traveling! Boots really do work everywhere and in every season so north, south, east or west...you can sew the footwear you love the best all while using up your favorite fabric snips and scraps!⁣

Ask for your copy of this block-of-the month design at favorite local fabric stores or order directly through my webstore with free shipping!⁣

This scrappy version of my 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 pattern is one of my all time favorite remakes! The bright fabric elements reminded me of some much loved past projects as I stitched them into a colorful new quilt to enjoy. Background pulled from my fabric stash not only set off the stars perfectly, but also made this a true "use what I have on hand" sewing experience(which always feels good for this fabric lover and collector!)⁣
⁣
How's your fabric stash looking these days? Are you stitching with those beauties or still waiting for the perfect project to use them in? ⁣

There are some new non-sewing adventures happening

There are some new non-sewing adventures happening in the life of this designer. While I'm not ready to share details, I CAN share the cheerful and fun colors of this 𝗢𝗢𝗣𝘀! quilt and say that life is equally as cheerful and fun. It hardly gets better than that, right?⁣
⁣
Precut friendly 𝗢𝗢𝗣𝘀! is a terrific pattern and I'll be leading a workshop at @sewspecialktx in January. Be sure to check out their website and sign up while seats are available! ⁣

It isn't often that I remake a quilt sample using the identical colors of the original, but a new Pink Lemonade sample is on my cutting table using the fresh and sunny @hoffmanfabrics used in the first! The original is traveling and I want to be able to share this fun design at upcoming guild trunk shows and workshops. Do you ever make duplicate projects?⁣

This bright and cheerful 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗻𝘆'𝘀 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁 quilt just makes me smile on a sunny day! It is a reimagining of a traditional block that uses precut strips OR precut squares OR yardage OR scrap! Easy to make in any size and beginner friendly, it is my most flexible and versatile pattern yet! Have you gotten your copy of the pattern from your favorite quilt store or from my online shop? ⁣

It isn't always about bright and colorful textiles

It isn't always about bright and colorful textiles! For me, there's a special serenity in the soft greys of this Sticks N Stones quilt set in a natural environment. The setting evokes the way I believe a quilt should feel...relaxing, comforting and calm...and who can't use a little of that at the end of the day or anytime life feels busy?⁣
⁣
Sticks N Stones was designed in #eq8 from @theelectricquiltcompany and the pattern is available in my webstore with free shipping or in PDF format. It's definitely a favorite of mine!⁣

𝗙𝗹𝘆 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲 represents lots of good things about my Thursday! I get to hop an airplane and hug a couple of my favorite people this afternoon! Since "home is where the heart is" then I'm flying home...even if it's not the place I usually hang my hat! SO EXCITED to see these loved ones!⁣

Converting the yardage of my 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘇𝗲𝘄𝗮𝘆 pattern to fat-quarters was purely experimental after one of my retail partners asked if it was possible. 24 unloved fat quarters and a late night of sewing at a retreat and this scrappy looking beauty was born! The instructions for converting YOUR copy of #Breezeway are available on my website under the #Freebies tab so download your copy and clean out those "what am I going to do with them" FQs in your stash!⁣

This original sample of my 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲 pattern is being retired and is for sale in my webstore. I love everything about this, from the play on a traditional churn dash block to the bright modern fabrics that interplay and compliment each other and the overall design. I've made several quilts using this pattern and love both a light and a dark background. I also have ideas for a highly patterned background version, which I am anxious to get to after the upcoming busy holiday season. ⁣
⁣
Is anyone else planning ahead to January projects?⁣

I'm off to a Christmas Market today, so it seemed like the perfect morning to share some holiday spirit! 𝐻𝑜𝓁𝒾𝒹𝒶𝓎 𝒲𝒾𝓈𝒽𝑒𝓈 is a beautiful, classic design in special holiday fabrics but also makes a terrific scrap or stash buster! Easy piecing makes this large scale project suitable for all levels of quilting experience. This pattern will retire after the 2023 holiday season to make room for fresh new designs but limited copies are still available in my webstore with free shipping.⁣
