$5 for January + Hello 2026

Hello Reader, I hope you're having a wonderful weekend and a beautiful beginning to 2026! We were blessed with some lovely rain New Year's Eve and into New Year's Day which made for perfect sewing weather! I've already finished my first quilt top for the year and dropped it off to be quilted yesterday. I have more projects on the list as I'm sure you do, too! Today I'm sharing the $5 January pattern, links from earlier in the week, and a look ahead with details for the A Quilting Life Free Block of the Month starting tomorrow! $5 in January--MontageMontage was one of my favorite quilt patterns I shared with our Strawberry Lemonade collection back in 2023. There are two different sizes included, and it is designed for fat eighths but also works well with fat quarters.
Earlier This WeekBelow you'll find the links from earlier this week on the blog. If you missed my New Year's Day organizing post, be sure to go there and download your free organizing printables to start off the year! I'll be sharing more organizing ideas in the weeks and months ahead, too.
Coming This WeekStay tuned tomorrow when the 2026 Block of the Month officially begins with the first block pattern. I made two different versions to help with your fabric selection. I'll be making both a red, white, and blue quilt and a scrappy spring quilt as we sew through the year. Thank you so much for being here and for taking the time to open and read the newsletter. It's going to be a great year of quilting!

Hello! I hope your first week of June is going well. I've just returned home from a week-long retreat in Dallas, Texas at the Modavation event for shop owners. It was truly inspiring to be around all of my Moda friends, and shop owners I've known for years or just for a week! I will definitely be sharing all about the event in a post next week. For now, keep reading for the June notes plus one of my favorite finds from the retreat. Booth Photo from H + H Americas Trade show in early May 2026...
