Introducing Graphic Jam

It has been a couple years since we have published a new Block-of-the-Month book and boy are we excited to introduce you to Graphic Jam! We teased this book back in March with a naming contest and Graphic Jam was the winner. Now that the book is available and the cold weather is upon us, it is time to get sewing! So, grab a cup of tea or wine, and let’s dig into this quilty goodness. Or, watch the YouTube video here.

Introducing Cadence Court!

We published a new Block-of-the-Month book back in October and haven’t gotten around to chatting about it on here. Cadence Court is our latest book and it is more of a Wedge-of-the-Month!

We feel completely honored to be featured in the last issue of Quilty magazine!

Paradox Point QAL - Block 12

We took a little break from the Paradox Point QAL, but we are back now with the last block! This last block is a little bit of an illusion. The arrow is made up of four triangles that are made up of triangles inside of triangles! This is a little bit of an inception block!

Paradox Point QAL - Block 10

Block 10 - yowza! That means we are rounding the corner towards the finish line of our Paradox Point QAL. (Sorry for the metaphor but I just watched the Kentucky Derby!) This is a neat block featuring some stacked flying geese. Block 10 is one that can take on multiple looks depending on the contrast in your main colors and fabric placement. Let's take a look at what our talent sewers did!

Paradox Point QAL - Block 7

Spring has sprung! This is one of my favorite times of the year. It is finally warm enough to dust off those shorts and frolic outdoors before it gets hot! I just spent the weekend camping and hiking around Moab, so I am feeling refreshed and invigorated creatively.

Paradox Point QAL - Block 1

Happy New Year everyone! We are kicking off our Paradox Point QAL today and sharing our first blocks. We have beautiful blocks from Kristy and Juli, and a special appearance from my little sister! It is always fun when we can get her excited about sewing, so when she started pulling fabrics for this quilt, we were ecstatic.

Introducing Paradox Point!

Okay, so most of you have already seen this quilt a few times, either on Instagram or in our Quilt Market recap post! But we thought we could have a few posts on Paradox Point this week to answer some questions about the pattern and share some details about each quilt. We have four different versions to share with you, and today we are kicking it all off with this gorgeous cover quilt!
