Late December Notes from A Quilting Life


Hello Reader,

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. The busiest time of the year is here now, and I'm starting to feel slightly ready. (If I get some last-minute gifts finished by tomorrow, I'll be feeling really good--you know how that is)! Keep reading for notes from the week, coming soon, and a shop update you won't want to miss!

Notes from the Week

First, the notes from the week. I know many of you don't get emails each time I post and appreciate these roundup lists. I shared some fun things on the blog and on our YouTube channel this week:

Coming Soon

First, our sample yardage of the Birch & Willow Cuddle fabrics arrived on Friday! Watch for my first quilt with those fabrics coming soon!

And the 2026 free Block of the month will begin a week from tomorrow. I'm super excited about that quilt and have two versions going for myself (I couldn't make just one version this time). Be sure to download any patterns you need from 2025 as they won't be available on the blog after the beginning of the year but will be available as a full pattern set in the shop.

Finally: stay tuned for lots of beginning of the year organizing posts that will be coming your way soon.

A Favorite Book

I just had to share how much I'm loving this recently released planning book! If you love planning and are looking for a sure-fire way to get organized for the year, this book is for you.

Shop Update

I've restocked the shop this weekend with some fun bundles, things I found while cleaning and organizing, and more quilt backings. Plus, all fabrics are on sale now through the end of the year, no code needed!

Thank you so very much for taking the time to read this week's newsletter. I do appreciate your support and all of the kind replies and emails!

I hope your week is filled with love, laughter, and joy and that you are able to also get a little rest and relaxation in along the way. Happy holidays and Merry Christmas to you!
