Hello Reader,

I hope your weekend is a good one! I've been catching up on lots of things and making plans for my fall sewing and activities. I've recently finished up a couple of works in progress and will have a new post and video on that for you tomorrow. But first, here is what has been going on this week + a beginner quilt project roundup you won't want to miss!

Star Bright Mini

This week I was able to get the Star Bright Mini quilt finished that my friend Nancy made with scraps from her Star Bright 2 sewing. My quilter Val did some fun custom designs on it, and I got it bound just the other night. The original pattern doesn't have sashing, so I had Nancy add 1 1/4" cut strips to separate the blocks a little. She did everything else according to the pattern. I think this is my new favorite mini! (This mini measures 18 3/4" x 18 3/4" making it perfect for a pillow, too).

Summer Star Medley in Raspberry Summer

When I released my Summer Star Medley pattern last year I only made the mini quilt version (there is also a table runner, wall hanging, and lap quilt included in the pattern). So, I decided I needed the wall hanging version in our Raspberry Summer fabrics and love how it turned out. (This wall hanging finishes at 32 1/2" x 32 1/2"

Weekender Table Runner in Raspberry Summer

This week was definitely the week for me to finish up some smaller projects. I also got the binding added and a styled photo taken of my Weekender Table Runner using just a few prints from Raspberry Summer. It's a perfect late summer look for our dining table!

More Small Projects + This Week on the Blog

Perhaps this week's small project finishes were inspired by my Wednesday round up of Easy Beginner Quilt Projects. If you are a beginner quilter or any quilter looking for some fast and fun small quilted project ideas, you won't want to miss this post.

Additionally, on the blog this week were the following posts:

Thanks so much for taking the time to read the weekly newsletter. Stay tuned tomorrow for my first Works in Progress video and post since May. And I'll also be sharing more small project ideas with our Raspberry Summer collection on Thursday.

Happy quilting!

Have a great day!​
