Learn how to sew your pieces together with a custom grid with this postage stamp mini quilt tutorial. Great for fabric scraps.

The Postage Stamp quilt is a classic. It’s a great one for using your little pieces of fabric….either matching from a line of fabric, or a pile of scraps. Either way the result is the same. Cute. Simple. Mindless sewing.

To help with the mindless sewing you will be making a custom grid on muslin for the fabric squares to go on…then sewing them all together row by row. It’s a pretty slick method ...

Hi Quilters!

Welcome to week 5 of the Summer Jubilee Sew Along!

We are almost to the finish line.  By now, you have made all of the blocks, and now it is time to assemble your quilt top!

This will be an easy and fun week.

If you didn't press your blocks as you were making them, now is the time to do that.  Pressed blocks sew together better. 

I recommend pressing the seams open as indicated in the pattern, but if you press your seams to the side, you can get flatter seams by placing the blocks under ...

Hi Quilters,

Welcome to Week 3 of the Summer Jubilee Sew Along!

By now, you have made your Starburst blocks, and now we are ready to dive into the Rosette Blocks!

Chain piecing will be your friend this week as we make all the little units that will become the Rosette blocks.

These blocks may feel complicated, but they consist of blocks you are probably already really familiar with:  half square triangles (HSTs) and Flying Geese (FGs).

The HSTs are made 8 at a time, and the FGs are made 4 at a time so you can create the units ...

Here’s a quick flannel quilt for beginners, perfect as a graduation gift or home decor. You can make it in one day!

Suede Satchel

My middle son turns 25 today! I had been collecting flannels for a few years to make the Suede Satchel quilt for him, and, while on a retreat at Lake Okoboji earlier this month, I finally put it together! It is smaller than my original pattern – it measures 48″ x 64″ with blocks that finish at 8″ – and I hope he will enjoy it as a throw as he hangs out with his cat, Junior ...

 Hello, everyone!

• Finished pillow cover: 16"

Overview of the Pattern

Mystic

I designed Mystic, a 48″ x 68″ throw for the Jardin de Lune Glow, a glow-in-the-dark collection by Blank Quilting. The luminescent mushrooms, flowers, hummingbirds, moths, and butterflies transported me on a night journey through a magical garden, inspiring me as I translated the beautiful fabrics into a design that added ‘beams of moonlight’ (the light borders) while showcasing each print.

 Thought I'd give a progress report on the Winter Village Quilt I'm currently working on.

It's Called Winter Village by Edyta Sitar

The Pattern can be found at Laundry Basket Quilts but it is also in Edyta's Book A Season In Blue

I started working on this Quilt in April 2024

I made a good start following Edyta's YouTube instructions. But then like the Blackbird Crafter I am got sidetracked by lots of Shiny Little Projects...

I made this scrappy quilt with Liberty of London fabrics for my bed—a quilted present just for me! I wanted something new to adorn the bedroom set I purchased. What do you think?

Once, while scrolling through Instagram, I saw a post about granting a fabric wish to fellow quilters and making a wish, too. So, I said I would love to receive scraps of Liberty of London fabrics of any size. Then, I granted a bunch of wishes, which was so fun!

The parcels began to arrive. I made an Oooh and an Aaah every time I opened ...
