Hello there Reader,

I hope your weekend is going well! Right now, I'm attending International Quilt Market in Houston, Texas. (I'll have lots to share when I return). But today I have several things to share including a new pattern, organizing tips you won't want to miss, and all of the posts and videos from earlier this week. Plus, our Family Favorites Sew Along of the Brightly Sampler has officially started, and it's not too late to join in.

Mini Stars: Two Mini Quilts in One Pattern

I've been working on updating some of my patterns and recently decided to put two favorite mini star patterns together in one booklet. The new Mini Stars: Star Bright & Sparkle Mini Quilts is now available in paper and PDF format. It's also on sale for an introductory 50% off discount through the end of this week.

The Family Favorites Quilt Along

We've officially begun the Family Favorites Quilt Along using the Brightly Sampler in our Book. We'll be sharing progress and blocks on the fourth Thursday of each month. Watch the video or check out the blog post from last Thursday for more details. You will need the book to sew along, and there are also kit options listed below:

Organizing Tips

Fall (before the holiday rush) is one of my favorite times to work on organizing. I've been working on my sewing room and office spaces pretty regularly now and am beginning to start planning sewing for 2025. If you're looking to get a jump-start on your planning, you'll find the following post super helpful.

Thanks so very much for taking the time to read this week's weekly newsletter. And thank you again for all of the kind replies and comments. I received several this week, and it made a crazy-getting-ready-for-market week so wonderful.

Have a great day!​
