Celebrating 250 Years of Jane Austen
This year marks the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen and we are celebrating with the release of the Emma collection and this absolutely stunning Block of the Month quilt!
The Emma Collection is shipping next month and we can hardly wait!
We debuted this quilt, designed by Lori Holt, at H+H Americas and it was a showstopper! Just look at how beautiful it is! Chelsea Fitzgerald of @cuddleupquilts did this custom quilting and as always she did an incredible job.
If you are a Jane Austen lover, this stunning quilt is a must-make!
How To Participate:
This is a go-at-your-own-pace Block of the Month that we are kicking off in August! We are supporting it with YouTube Monthly Block Tutorials that will release the second Wednesday of each month beginning in August!
Check out our Set to Sew video and the full (and FREE) pattern now! You still have time to order your fabric and get ready to sew!
We are also delighted to have one of our UK based Influencers, @stitchwithrachel participating on her YouTube Channel!

Please consider when printing playing cards like the Jane Austen cards, that those who are left-handed cannot see which cards they are holding because you only print in two corners instead of all four corners. Beautiful cards, I’d like to buy them but can’t use them.

I know that Fabric Pixie have some of the fabric but their next templates dont arrive until Sept 2025 is there another shop in Australia that may have the templates, I have also tried Busyfingers Patchwork, they are out as well…….seems this is a popular quilt down under……. Please help thank you Judy
