Simply Love Quilt Pattern!

Aurifil Artisan Challenge: Open Sew (Friday Foto Fun #209)

Merry Christmas Eve!  This month’s Aurifil Artisan Challenge was an open sew or stitch.  There is something about being around snow that makes me want to slow down and embroider some fun projects.  I have several Cozy Blue Handmade panels that I’ve collected over the years just to stitch during the winter.  I picked this super winter-themed print for my project.

Simply Modern Quilt Pattern (and more!)

Somehow I completely forgot to talk about Simply Modern, November’s Simply quilt.  I noticed that on Friday when I was posting about Simply Love which was sewn this weekend.

Checkerboard Plus Quilt Pattern!

New pattern without a pattern… yet! I’m still super excited to share this quilt because I love how it turned out.  The move made me refocus on what I could spend my time on and unfortunately writing this pattern didn’t make the cut.  It will become a pattern, but not until 2022.
