New Cover Girls... or Quilts!

We updated two of our favorite patterns - Prism Parkway and Lexington Lane. I love these two quilts. They are both versatile, geometric and fun! Each pattern got a refresher on the inside - nothing major, just some cosmetic changes. And both patterns got a new cover quilt!

Free Groovy Wolf Appliqué Pattern

When I first graduated from college, I dabbled with the idea of being a graphic designer. My logo was a fun wolf head silhouette sporting a pair of sunglasses - cheeky right? I hadn’t seen or thought about this logo in years, but came across it after I my strikeoffs of Foundation fabric arrived. An idea hit me and I ran with it!

Triangles 101

Triangles, love em or hate em? We hear all the time that people love the look of triangles but are afraid to dip their toes into this geometric genre of quilt patterns. We love triangles and use them to make other shape such as diamonds and hexagons. Let’s break down triangles and see if we can get you excited about giving them a try or teach those experienced trianglers (I made up that word!) a new trick or two.

How-to Photograph Quilts

Whether we like it or not, social media has become the main way of connecting with other quilters, driving up business and sharing our stories. And a big part of social media is pretty pictures.

Spring Quilt Market in Portland

I know I am completely behind the curve with this post, but we are going to do it anyways! Spring International Quilt Market was in Portland, OR in May. We went, we vended and we conquered. Just kidding, but we had a blast! Portland is an incredible city and we enjoyed our free time as much as our convention time.
