New Coastal Breeze Quilt Finish + Late October with A Quilting Life


Hello Reader,

I hope you are having a lovely weekend! I'm stopping in to share the latest A Quilting Life news and also the links for posts and videos from earlier this week. I have a recent quilt finish to share, a free pattern from earlier this week, and a few hints of upcoming events you won't want to miss!

Endless Summer Quilt in Coastal Breeze

I had a lot of fun getting my Endless Summer quilt in our Coastal Breeze fabrics back from my quilter this week. This is a pattern I first shared with our Walkabout collection several years ago. I love it even more in Coastal Breeze!

Earlier This Week...

Below you'll find links to the posts from earlier this week on the blog:

Free Mug Rug + Placemat Pattern

On Wednesday I shared my Moda Blockheads block and also shared a free PDF download for a mug rug or placemat with any 9" or 12" finished block. Be sure to head to my blog to download that even if you're not sewing along with Moda Blockheads 7!

Coastal Breeze Cross Stitch Patterns

Katie has her Coastal Breeze cross-stitch designs that coordinate with my new patterns. Be sure to stop by her shop to take a look if you are a cross-stitcher!
