Hello Reader, I hope your February is off to a wonderful start. We've been having some beautiful spring-like weather here, and I'm soaking it in since it's supposed to drop back to normal February temperatures in a week or so. I've been checking a lot of things off my list including finishing up the design work for patterns for our spring release collection. My sewing machine just got back from being serviced, and I'm ready to put her to work! New Sampler FinishI finished my first work in progress last weekend when I set together my 6" blocks from the 2025 Block of the Month sew along. I decided to put them together for a small sampler wall quilt. You can find all of the details on the blog. (We also filmed a video to share this project and the January Sew Sampler and Cupid boxes from Fat Quarter Shop). Free Heart Pillow PDFYesterday's Saturday Seven post featured the link to download a free Heart Pillow PDF. This project also works wonderfully as a table mat! If you missed it yesterday, be sure to download now. (The download link is right under the photo of the pillow in the text).
February Block of the MonthI also shared the 2026 February block earlier this week. The download for the February 2026 free pattern PDF is on the blog here. Be sure to download it and watch the block video either on the blog or our YouTube channel. Earlier This Week on the BlogBelow you'll find links to the posts from earlier this week--it was a good week with a lot of great content on the blog and our YouTube channel:
