Introducing the Colorburst Quilt Block

We are trying something a little different this year! In addition to our quilt and bag patterns, we will be publishing some QUILT BLOCK patterns! These will be PDFs only and will not included technique instructions, but in the flip side, they will be less expensive!

Our first new pattern of 2022 is the COLORBURST Quilt Block Pattern!

Introducing my Batik Fabric Line - Pura Vida! 🌿

Pura Vida, the Spanish phrase for “simple (or pure) life” encapsulates the Costa Rican culture. This line was inspired by not only the rich foliage, vibrant sunsets, mouthwatering food and phenomenal beaches of Central America, but also the true contentment felt when slowing down to enjoy life. Come explore Pura Vida with me and remind yourself to slow down enough to take in the beauty around you.

Turn Mini Quilts into Christmas Stockings

What better excuse to make the whole family new Christmas stockings than a new sister-in-law? My grandma cross-stitched our family stockings and they are beautiful! But we decided to make our new ones with a little more modern flare and use our mini quilt patterns to do it!

Introducing the Bum Bag

Our last pattern, and only bag of the bunch, for our Fall 2021 Pattern Launch, is our BUM BAG! I had been searching for the perfect fanny pack for outings and couldn’t find one. So, we decided to make one! The Bum Bag is a quilted belt bag that can be worn around your waist or over-the-shoulder and is great for errands, nights out, travel and more!

Introducing Happy Highway

The last, but certainly not least, quilt pattern in our Fall 2021 Pattern Launch is HAPPY HIGHWAY. We saved the happiest quilt for last and we hope it makes you smile as much as it does us! We love patchwork, fabric scraps and rainbows. So, inevitably we would make a scrappy patchwork rainbow quilt - and just like that, Happy Highway came to be!

Introducing Fremont Circle

Big, bold and beautiful! That is how I would describe the next pattern in our Fall 2021 Pattern Launch, FREMONT CIRCLE. I have had a sketch of a large log cabin style circle quilt in my notebook for a long time and decided it was finally time to see it come to life. I love how both sizes of this quilt turned out and the pops stripes my heart sing!

Introducing Damsel Drive

Next up in our Fall 2021 Pattern Launch is our new curvy DAMSEL DRIVE quilt pattern. We named this pattern after one of our favorite wineries - not the first time we’ve named a pattern after a winery (eh hem, Darby Road) and probably won’t be the last. This is a unique curve pattern that features half-circles and endless design options.
