I thought you might like to see the pics of my light background version of Blooming Joy. The quilter was Jane Hauprich. I loved doing this quilt, but will always have FOMO because I didn’t do the original border…..ha! Can’t wait to see what your 2027 BOM looks like. Thanks so much for all of the inspiration. Kind regards, Connie Harris

Connie went on to say nice things about the pattern and me 🥰:

Many thanks to Becky Goldsmith for her wonderfully designed patterns. Not only did the quilt blocks work together seamlessly, but the multiple borders were engineered perfectly to enhance the overall design while creating a cohesive botanical effect. Looking forward to her future block of the month programs!

Blooming Joy is truly a fun quilt to make and it looks great on a bed! Click here to find the patterns. Happy stitching!

Linda Johnson sent me this photo of her fabulous finished Bullseye quilt — it’s amazing! Each ring is exciting and they all look so good together. Well done, Linda, and thank you for sharing your quilt with us!

I like to make quilts that look more complicated than they really are. It was fun to pick the next ring’s fabric and see the circle grow.

It is true that this quilt is less complicated than it looks. It is sewn on foundation piecing papers and, if you follow the instructions, you can do it :-). Click here to find the pattern pack, and here to find the ebook.

I received a fabric collection as a gift that was way outside my comfort zone but it inspired me to make a version of backyard birds.  I embroidered every leaf. It was a fun project. When I got today’s email thought I’d share with you. 

I’m lovely what look like musical notes in the lower left block. Very creative!

Thank you, Mary, for sharing and I’m proud of you for playing with this fabric :-). Well done!

Show and Tell: Welcome to the North Pole

A colorful quilt featuring a whimsical winter village scene with various houses, trees, and a sleigh in the night sky.

Barbara MacLeod sent photos of her North Pole quilt along with this lovely email. I am inspired!

Hi Becky — I’m excited to share with you that the New Braunfels Area Quilt Guild had our bi-annual show this past Friday and Saturday and my North Pole received a second place ribbon.  It was entered in the mixed technique category — machine pieced, needle turn applique, hand quilted, some embroidery, and embellishments.  (Hobby Lobby had wonderful Christmas charms starting in October).  The judge said “The North Pole is full of activity and has the viewer linger for a 2nd look” and my ” piece has a lot of whimsey & charm”.  I just want to thank you and Linda for designing such a wonderful pattern.  I will say it is the most challenging quilt I’ve ever made (I’m 87) but I loved every moment of it. Well almost every moment 🤣.  This quilt is a love letter to my family and even when I’m no longer here, I’ll be able to spend Christmas with them.

Thanks again to giving me so many hours of enjoyment.

But wait! There’s more! Barbara included a photo of her documentation patch…

A fabric piece featuring a handwritten holiday greeting with decorative charms, including a church, cross, and heart with an American flag. The message welcomes readers to the Christmas season and emphasizes love and family.

I absolutely love that. Thank you, Barbara, for sharing you quilt and beautifully worded documentation with us.
