Wednesday Giveaway!

We love these Meori Mini Foldable Boxes! The 5.5″ x 6.5″ size opens from less than inch to 5″. Plenty of room for all kinds of items to sit next to you as you work on your projects or to use as gift boxes. (Think Easter Basket stuffed with fun items and candy.)

This week’s lucky winner, hawksjoanne, will get this lovely lavender box. (We have several colors and a couple of patterns in stock in the store. Click here to view them all.)

It comes together with simple slots, making it reusable. So a seasonal decoration that can stay with you. Congrats to this week’s winner – Shelby!

Show & Tell… A really wonderful table runner!

Regina Grewe is in finishing mode! She just finished this table runner using one of the border patterns from Aunt Millie’s Garden. She came up with the idea to split the background underneath the long vine. Very striking! Thank you for sharing, Regina!

Your TQS BOM is an extraordinary design! Although I’m a paper piecer at heart, I won’t be following along with this quilt. Appliqué simply appeals to me more at the moment, and I can’t do it all.

You are right—we can’t do it all. But we can do what we can. And, if the UFO pile is large, I suggest working on either the thing you love most or the thing that you can finish fastest. I don’t have many UFOs, but I recently made progress on the pile. I’ll write more on that later :-).

If you are interested in the Aunt Millie’s pattern, you can find it here. This border pattern is also in our book, 100 Whimsical Applique Designs. Happy stitching!

Show & Tell… Blooming Joy!

Jami Smith sent this photo of her version of Blooming Joy, the 2025 block of the month. She left the setting triangles free from applique which focuses your attention directly on the blocks. I like this quilt a lot!

Jami says:

“I love looking at this, it brings me so much joy.  I think all the colors ans fun flowers. I also really enjoyed making it, gave me a sense of peace and calm.

Again thank you for sharing your talent and inspiration. “

Thank you Jamie, for sharing your quilt with us! That feeling of peace and calm that comes with handwork is one of my favorite parts of sewing ❤️.

If any of your are interested in the Blooming Joy patterns, you can find them here.
