Combining two new batik collections, Kelly @bykell Combining two new batik collections, Kelly @bykellyrenay is back on the blog with her twist on the Classic String Quilt! 💛⁠ ⁠ Inspired by Mary Ellen Hopkins’ Hidden Wells pattern, Kelly worked with 2″ wide strips from both the Porcelains and Wildflowers collections. Porcelains is a lovely low-volume mix of tonals: subtle, soft, and versatile. Wildflowers, on the other hand, feels like two collections in one: a cool, mauvy side and a warm, golden side. When combined, they strike a perfect balance of calm and vibrance, giving you endless ways to mix and match!⁠ ⁠ You can read more about Kelly's colorful Classic String Quilt on our blog!

Toni @tigertextiles used our new Shibori Batiks to Toni @tigertextiles used our new Shibori Batiks to craft this beautiful Boro Boro Shirt! 👚⁠ ⁠ Boro is a Japanese textile tradition born of thrift and care—old cloth repaired again and again with visible stitching, patching, and layering. Scraps of fabric are transformed into something stronger, more beautiful, and deeply personal. Toni used this technique, along with a now-discontinued Butterick Pattern to build this shirt. You can read more about her process on our blog! Blog link in bio.
We have a project on the blog that is both practic We have a project on the blog that is both practical and pretty for this week's FREE Pattern Friday! 🧵⁠ ⁠ This Sewing Machine Cover features the delightful Hand Made collection by Damask Love, which brings together classic notions, crochet patterns, pincushions, and playful gingham prints in a harmonious palette of navy, mint, green, red, blue, pink, alpine, and yellow. Perfect for quilters, crafters, and sewists alike, this project celebrates the beauty of handmade artistry and the joy of crafting. You can download the FREE pattern today on our blog!

Balancing variation with cohesion, this Patchwork Balancing variation with cohesion, this Patchwork Duffle was the perfect canvas for Tamara @remivailstudio to play with our new Plaid-Venture Club collection! 💙⁠ ⁠ For this project, Tamara challenged herself to use as many prints as possible while still allowing the eye places to rest. To help anchor the patchwork, she repeated fabrics thoughtfully and chose coordinating prints for the handles and binding. She adapted the Patchwork Duffle pattern by Knot and Thread for this project, adjusting the size just a bit, along with the patchwork layout and handles. ⁠ ⁠ You can find a link to the original pattern along with Tamara's sewing details on our blog!

This colorful delight is the Merriweather Quilt by This colorful delight is the Merriweather Quilt by Mary @embercraftcompany! 🎨⁠ ⁠ The Merriweather Quilt Pattern is Mary's take on a classic cross and crown quilt block. She blew it up in size, made it fat quarter-friendly, and added some dazzling sashing! To go along with the quilt, Mary made the Jasper Dress by Little Lizard King for her daughter. This dress is easily a family favorite with it's epic twirl factor!⁠ ⁠ Both of these projects were made with the new Farmer's Daughter collection by Lori Holt. You can find links to the Merriweather Quilt & Jasper Dress patterns on our blog! Blog link in bio.
Melisa @stitchologyabq is back on the blog with th Melisa @stitchologyabq is back on the blog with the 9th block in her Desert Daydreams Design of the Month program! 🧡⁠ ⁠ The ninth block is a zoomed in image of Dessert Globemallow flowers. It’s a bushy, native wildflower that pops up all over the place in Northern New Mexico, and is great for pollinators and wildlife. The blocks in this series are available as kits or PDF downloadable patterns and once the month is over that kit will no longer be available, so you will need to be sure to check back monthly to see the new design and to grab your kit while you can! You can find a link to this month's kit on our blog! Blog link in bio.
There's something timeless about a red and white q There's something timeless about a red and white quilt like this one made by Tamara @remivailstudio! ❄️⁠ ⁠ For this version of Tamara's Lumi Quilt pattern, she leaned into that tradition using the Radiant Ruby fabric collection designed by Dani Mogstad. The collection includes a thoughtful mix of playful prints and subtle basics, which allowed Lumi Quilt’s snowflake design to shine while still adding depth and visual interest throughout the quilt.⁠ ⁠ For fabric and quilting details, plus a link to the Lumi Quilt pattern, head over to our blog!
