A Quilting Life Notes + Fun Things Ahead


Hello, Reader,

First, thank you so much for your support in subscribing to and reading my weekly newsletter. We're expecting rain today from the remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel, so it's a stay-inside and sew kind of day. I do have lots to share right now, so as I say in my videos, "Let's get started!"

Midsummer Project Packages

First, I still have some Midsummer Collection project packages available. These will ship in January but need to be pre-ordered now. They always sell out before the fabrics arrive; find all of the details below.

Earlier This Week

This week was a busy one, beginning with the October Block of the Month, my first Blockheads 7 block, and the next three blocks in the Poinsettia Stars Block of the Month Sew Along. Find links to all of these posts below:

Coming This Week

Tomorrow, we share a new episode of The A Quilting Life Podcast with another guest interview from our time at Modavation in Dallas. I know you'll enjoy this conversation on creativity and quilting. It's our last interview podcast from that summer event, but we also have some great interviews lined up for this fall and winter. On Wednesday I'll share another Moda Blockheads 7 block and then more new Coastal Breeze quilts and projects. Plus, I have an exciting new holiday pattern release just around the corner (it's being quilted now)!

A Quilting Life Block of the Month 2027

Questions always start coming in this time of year about the next year's BOM quilt. Happily, I put the finishing touches on my A Quilting Life Block of the Month for 2027 yesterday, and I can't wait to make this quilt. As I mentioned in the October Block of the Month video, I will have a PDF for everyone with fabric requirements for that project available very soon. I'm also hoping to have some scrappy fabric bundles ready for those of you who want to sew along with similar fabrics.

I hope you get to spend some good time sewing and/or quilting very soon. Happy quilting...
