New Cutie Pattern -- Cobblestones!

2020 has been, to say the least, an odd year.  I looked back to see when I last released a Cutie Pattern and it was in late 2019.  It's definitely time to release a new one, don't you think?

Obliging as I am, I present:  Cobblestones!


I decided to make this quilt using some very happy 30s reproduction fabrics:


I had a lot of fun quilting this quilt kit with ribbon candy, continuous curve, and swirls in the border.


After I quilted it, I realized that I teach all three of these techniques in my First Steps to Free-Motion Quilting class.  If you haven't purchased the class yet, do so now because the price will go up on September 16.


At the request of students, I put together a kit of my favorite 10 machine quilting threads.  I used white thread for this quilt and have bundled a cone of white Konfetti cotton thread with a cone of white DecoBob thread for the bobbin for those who use white thread as much as I do!

I became a great aunt this weekend and a special little girl might receive this quilt (her mom gets to choose from a stack of happy baby quilts).

 Scott from 4th and Main Designs tempted me beyond my ability to resist and I just had to make his Tuscan Vintage quilt . It was a perfect "I don't feel well" remedy and I enjoyed piecing and quilting it. I filmed as I quilted this quilt, so watch and see the loveliness unfold! If you want to support two designers at once, use Scott's link to buy my Quilting Essentials: First Steps to Free-Motion Quilting class!

Just My Type! by Tamarinis for Island Batik

  This week, I had the pleasure of working with the new Just My Type fabric from Island Batik designed by Tamarinis .   2020 has been a year of adjustment, and one big adjustment has been dressing for working at home and Zoom meetings.  This fabric was perfect for my  Scarves to Share Cutie Pattern .  The pattern calls for 16 fat eighths to make two scarves so I used each fat quarter twice in my scarf. Check out Just My Type fabric and update your work from home wardrobe!

I'm sew excited to share the release of my Freeze Frame Cutie Pattern !  I made my sample out of Northcott Cosmo fabrics for a modern, muted look.  This quilt belongs to my brand new great niece!  I can't wait to meet her.  Snuggling newborns makes everything seem better, doesn't it? I put the kit for this quilt on sale on my website .  This quilt is fun to make and fun to quilt! I used Stone Tutti Cotton thread on the gray and pink fabrics alike, quilted a little continuous curve, and quilted A LOT of ribbon candy.  I quilted flowers and leaves in the blocks and borders and am planning a Floral Quilting online class in 2021.  Sign up for my newsletter so you won't miss any details about upcoming classes!
