The pattern is exclusive to the Sew Sampler Box and is not available anywhere else. US addresses only. Giveaway ends Monday 12/2 at midnight. To enter ...

Brick Cottage Lane 2 Quilt Pattern Update and Sale! from Busy Hands Quilts

Brick Cottage Lane 2 quilt pattern cover has been updated and is currently on sale, including a preorder of the printed version! In addition to a new cover, there were a few minor updates in the pattern that reduced the number of pages, but the bones of the pattern are the same.

The joy of this pattern is that I have figured out how to strip piece this quilt and have worked out all of the math and techy stuff for you. It would be extremely time-consuming to piece this quilt brick by brick - though not impossible. To save you ...

Meet Looking Glass, where your favorite fabrics can shine through! This new quilt pattern includes five sizes - Lap, Throw, Twin, Queen, and King. It's 10" square layer cake friendly, so choosing fabrics will be a breeze.

This is the Twin size made in Handmade by Bonnie and Camille. Sometimes choosing fabrics for a cover quilt is difficult, but this one came easily. In fact, when I first designed this quilt a few years ago {yes, years!}, I mocked it up in Handmade because this collection looks fantastic with black accents, and I wanted to use black in the cover ...

Summer on the Porch Queen Quilt from Busy Hands Quilts

Summer on the Porch hanging on my clothesline, a flashback to the warm, sunny days of summer.

This is the quilt that I broke the clothesline with, not because of its weight, but because of my impatience. You can read about that over here.

This quilt kit has 4.9 star reviews on Bluprint. :)

This fabric collection is called Garden Party. When you click on this link, you will see the entire collection, as well as other projects made from the collection. My Gooseberry Pie design is also kitted in Garden Party, in addition to the cutest Christmas Stockings! You ...

Happy 9th Blog Anniversary and Timeline of Events from Busy Hands Quilts

Today is Busy Hands Quilts' 9th Blogiversary! It's wonderful to look back and see how far my quilting has come in nine years.

I began the blog on October 28th, 2010. My husband had been out of work since February of that year, and my medical transcription job ended at the end of October. Voice recognition software was changing the field of medical transcription and eliminating transcription jobs in spades. I worked at home and made great money because of my fast fingers. While I was ready to be done transcribing, it was a huge deal to lose such ...

Modern Prism Quilted Wall Hanging from Busy Hands Quilts

Ah, the Modern Prism quilt never fails to delight with its bright, planned simplicity.

The fabric is Michael Miller Cotton Couture, and I love the hand of this fabric. It is so soft and smooth and frays very little, if at all. It's such a pleasure to work with such high quality fabric!

I had a Modern Prism quilt kit in my stash and knew that I would never make it without a deadline because I am always so busy with more pressing projects. I had a request earlier this year for a small version of the quilt, 32 ...

Facebook 49719 Years Ago from Busy Hands Quilts

Do you see it? Facebook existed 49719 years ago according to this post in my Facebook Group, Busy Hands Quilting. Um, really? In this screenshot, I covered over the poster's name and face because I don't think she wants us to know that she is over 49719 years old, but I'm okay if you know that about me. :)

There's your funny for today. I hope you have more!

Custom Quilting Don't Give a Ship Baby Quilt from Busy Hands Quilts

This beautiful baby quilt was made by Andrea, and I quilted it for her.

A simple patchwork is always a great way to let cute fabrics like this shine. Andrea did a great job evenly distributing the colors around the quilt top which adds eye appeal.

This fun nautical quilt called for wavy quilting to follow the theme.

I was in a hurry to get the quilts out the door and didn't notice that the pictures I had taken were poorly lit and don't do this beautiful quilt any justice. Sorry Andrea!
