End of August + Coming Soon from A Quilting Life


Hello Reader,

The final week of August starts tomorrow--where did the summer go? I know I spent a large part of it sewing quilts I'll be sharing at the end of September. I can't wait for you to see them, but there are good things to share over the next several weeks, too! Keep reading for a bit of what's coming next and a look back at this week's posts and videos. And be sure to take advantage of the August $5 pattern if you haven't already--it's a good one! (On sale through next Saturday--I'll share the September pattern in the next newsletter).

Coming This Week

Tomorrow we are sharing a new A Quilting Life podcast with some great topics including our thoughts on sewing with a new collection and our go-to quilts! Then on Tuesday stay tuned as I share my first blocks in the Autumn Nights sew along with Fat Quarter Shop. I've had so much fun making this wall hanging. You won't want to miss out on this one--I love how my project turned out. Patterns release each week and are free. But if you can't stand the suspense, you can purchase the PDF downloads now (also download the fabric requirements from the link if you want to sew with your own fabrics. Kits are also available in the new Fig Tree collection, Agatha Road). Also, a new Blockheads block releases on Wednesday, and that's just the first three days of the week!

Recently on A Quilting Life Blog and YouTube Channel

Below you'll find the links to our recent posts and videos. If you have extra blocks laying around, be sure to watch the Orphan Blocks video and stop by the blog to download a free printable to get yours accounted for and organized.

Thank you so much for taking the time to ready my weekly newsletter. Stay tuned for more this week including new additions to the end-of-bolt and quilt backing sections plus a new fall small pattern I'm sharing soon as well. Happy quilting!

Hello Reader, I hope you're having a wonderful weekend. It's been hot here again this week which kept me in my sewing room.

Hello Reader, I hope you're having a wonderful weekend so far! It hit 114 (F) here in my part of the world today--which is why I spent most of my time inside sewing!
