$5 for October Plus International Quilt Market


Hello Reader,

It's been a whirlwind of a week, and the fun just keeps going! I'm currently at International Quilt Market in Houston, Texas with Chelsi sharing our 22nd collection with Moda Fabrics, Poinsettia & Pear! We are in love with this group and excited to meet with shop owners from all over the world to get their ideas and feedback! Keep reading for this month's $5 pattern and links to all of the goings-on.

$5 for October: Getaway!

Getaway is one of my favorite scrappy-happy lap quilt patterns. You can use scraps, or save time on cutting using a honeybun and a Layer Cake. The possibilities are endless with this one, and I think it would be beautiful in fall colors, too! Happy sewing!

And as a reminder, tomorrow is the final day to get the introductory discount on our new quilt patterns :)

Thanks so much for taking the time out of your busy weekend to read the newsletter. And thanks so much for all of the positive feedback. I do read every reply!

Happy quilting!
