❤️ New Valentine Fabric Bundles & Kit Preorders!
|
Hello Reader, We've added a couple of Valentine's Day fabric bundles to the shop! These custom-cut bundles feature 1/2 yard cuts of 3 of the most popular prints from my Mint for You fabric collection!
It's time to kick off our 2026 Block of the Month quilt! This is the eighth year I've hosted a Block of the Month pattern and the third year hosting it on Patreon. Preorders for the kit are now available, and close in 1 week! There are two colorways of the quilt to choose from, Red & Green. The quilt is 70" x 70" and is a modern take on a Bear Paw quilt block! Make one block a month this year, and at the end of the year, have a finished quilt! It's a great way to build your quilting skills!
The Bluegrass Pastures Quilt Pattern is our January pattern of the month and is 30% off until the end of January!
Outside the USA? You can buy on Etsy; the sale is live there as well. PROJECT PLANNER BONUS! And as a little extra encouragement for the year ahead, orders over $5 will also receive a free printable 2026 Project Planner; perfect for jotting down ideas, setting goals, and making space for creativity as the months unfold. Includes printable calendars for all 12 months. No code is required; the PDF planner will automatically be added to your cart!
