Two Big Things 2025 Edition!

This week is a little different. It's a busy holiday week, and we have two big things happening. First, we are having our biggest sale of the year! All patterns, classes, kits, and tools are 25% off (in-stock items only) in the store through Cyber Monday (Dec. 1st) at 11:00 PM PST. There's a lot to be thankful for, and we are very grateful for your encouragement and support of this small business :) The second is near and dear to my heart! This is the seventh year I'm doing

How to Bind a Hexagon

I received an email asking if I’d ever done a blog about binding hexagons? Hmmm, now that you mention it, that would make a great blog :) And, I hadn’t even thought of it! So, I whipped up this little table center mat out of an orphan block from Vintage Windmill and cut some binding strips. Mark ¼” dots in all the corners. I sewed my binding to the back, then wrapped it to the front to topstitch, and marked my dots on the back. (You could do the same process from the front. )

Crimson Christmas Scraps!

Well, would you look at that?! This week, I took inspiration from an older project and made a new poinsettia pillow using scraps left over from Crimson Christmas! Below is the original blog post and pillow I made in sweet spring pinks. I followed the same process, only this time in Christmas colors, and I am in love with it!!

No Scrap Left Behind…Binding

Here’s a way to use up every last scrap strip, no matter how wide it is! I made another batch of baby quilts with random odds and ends I had leftover from other projects. I have the hardest time throwing away odd-sized strips. .. you know the ones left at the end of your yardage once you’ve cut all your 2½” strips (or whatever size you cut). There’s always something left over. Most of the time, it’s only about 1½” - 2”… not really enough to do anything with, right :) Well,

Winter Visit is Here!!

Are you ready for a Winter Visit?! This is my latest pattern, and it's so much fun to make! These little Christmas wreaths go together quickly, and they can use up all kinds of scraps or stash. I've wanted to do a cardinal bird in a quilt for a while, so this worked out perfectly. This week, we filmed a new YouTube video where I walk through the cutting and assembly process for the wreath blocks. I also talk about the final assembly process once you have all the blocks done.
