New Heart Rug Mug Mat + Pillow Pattern


Hello Reader,

First, I hope your weekend is going well and that you are getting time to sew and quilt! Thanks so much for opening the weekly newsletter. My goal is to provide you with quilting inspiration and also keep you updated with all things happening at A Quilting Life. Keep reading for a new small pattern, notes from the week, and coming soon!

Heart Mug Rug + Pillow Pattern

It's been fun sharing my new Mug Rug pattern featuring a heart block for the season. There is also a pattern for an 18" finished pillow included that has two different heart blocks. PDFs are available for download now, and paper patterns ship at the end of the week.

Earlier This Week

Below you'll find the links to all of the posts on the blog. We also shared three new videos this week on our YouTube channel:

Coming Soon

Stay tuned for tomorrow's post where I'll share all about our Cuddle with Moda Birch & Willow fabrics. This 45" wide fabric is incredibly soft and makes the most wonderful quilt backs. I've even finished up a quilt that used this fabric for the pieced front and the backing. It's so cuddly! I'll also be sharing some works in progress and a new studio tour video very soon.

Three Favorites This Week

Here are three things I've been loving this week:

  • My new label maker--a game changer while I've been organizing!
  • Zen Basil Seeds--I add them to Greek Yogurt with some frozen raspberries and granola
  • This Baking Chocolate-- 1 1/2 teaspoons mixed into 1 cup of very warm water and a pinch of salt plus 1 scoop of Vanilla protein powder makes me feel like I'm having hot chocolate but I'm really having a healthy protein drink!

I hope your week ahead is a wonderful one!
