$5 for February and Hello to the New Month!


Hello Reader,

Happy February! I hope you're doing well and having a wonderful weekend. Today I'm sharing recent happenings, the $5 pattern for February, posts from the week with A Quilting Life, and some tips for your inspiration.

Livestream Trunk Show with Fat Quarter Shop

On Friday we were excited to be able to participate in a Livestream Trunk Show with Kimberly of Fat Quarter Shop. We shared quilts from our Delightfully Yours, Poinsettia & Pear, and Birch & Willow collections. We had a fantastic time and so appreciated everyone from Fat Quarter Shop for the invitation and for making the event so delightful.

$5 for February

This month's $5 pattern is Coastal Summer. This is one of my favorite medallion quilts that I've ever made. I used this on the wall in my studio this week for the Fat Quarter Shop Livestream and thought it might be the perfect quilt to chase away the February blues. I hope you'll have fun sewing this one. Patterns are available in both paper and PDF.
