Stella Rose is here!

This mix and match pattern is the perfect way to showcase a beautiful fat quarter bundle, or use your stash! How will you mix up your quilt?

Find the Stella Rose PDF pattern in my shop here!

In this sample I used the By Hand Heather Ross collection of fabrics together with a selection of co-ordinating Ruby + Bee Solids.

I love the mix of sawtooth stars and HSTs in the blocks!

These are exactly how the quilt got its name! - Stars and Thorns

The black sashing in this sample is PERFECT to balance out all the bright colours!

The quilt design needed something extra to complete the look, and this triple border is EXACTLY what it needed! I love the rose print in this one - so fitting for the name!

I sent this sample to Matante Quilting - she chose such a great panto for this quilt!

Stella Rose finishes at 72" square - a perfect large throw size for snuggling!

How do you like to mix and match your quilts?

Open Prairie is a beginner friendly pattern with big blocks (fast finish!) and three colour-way options to really customize the design to your taste!

Find the PDF pattern in my shop here.

Version one features a single background colour with one feature colour per block. I used Fableism Forest Forage in the spring colours for this sample, and it is the drapiest quilt I've every made.

Version two features mix and match block backgrounds, feature fabrics, and sashing. It's a really fun version, and my favourite! This sample uses a variety of Ruby Star Society fabrics.

Here you see the blocks in progress - HSTs whip up these big blocks quickly!

And the last version is the classic two-colour version. I made mine in black and white!

This is also the crib size, which I was able to sew in one afternoon!

Open Prairie can be made in four sizes: crib, throw, twin, and bed.

It's a colony of bats!!!!

Nocturna is a quilt block pattern inspired by bats and constructed like a Courthouse Steps block with alternating colours to resemble the psycho-hypnosis effect in scary movies!

The Nocturna block was first designed for the 2023 Soul-a-Long - a delightfully scary quilt block event!

It is now available in my shop as a quilt block pattern in PDF format.

The block finishes at 12" and can be used however you like! Use one for a pillow or bag, sew a few together for a table runner, or make 25 like me for a delightfully batty throw!

I also sewed three together for a spooky table runner!

These samples feature Art Gallery Fabrics Spooky n' Witchy collection - it's so good!

My daughter chose the magenta and pink combination in the quilt below and it's spectacular.

Aspen Grove Quilting added a spiderweb pantograph and it's our perfect Halloween holiday quilt now!

Fall is one of my most favourite seasons of the year.

Why?

Cozy weather, perfect for snuggling under quilts, changing colours, crisp walks, candlelight dinners are back, my birthday, pumpkins, apples, gratitude, back to school, and the slow-down before the holidays.

I've been wanting to make a maple leaf quilt project for my fall decor, and this a was the year to do it!

The block finishes at 9"

I made my maple leaf blocks extra scrappy with Ruby Star Society and Art Gallery Fabrics scraps from my stash. I chose to make a total of four blocks to become a table runner.

I used a Robert Kaufman chambray that I had on hand for background.

The pattern includes basic instructions for finishing your blocks as a table runner with 2.5" sashing and borders. I quilted my runner with a mixture of machine and hand quilted maple leaf details using Aurifil thread.

Remember those twenty scrappy Granny Square blocks I made using my free quilt block pattern?

I sewed them together into the prettiest throw quilt!

I cut sashing pieces at 1.5" x 11.75" to finish at 1" wide.

Cornerstones were cut at 1.5" square to finish at 1" square.

The quilt top measures 50" x 62" - the perfect small throw!

I machine quilted the top using my signature organic wavy line quilting.

I had just enough of this widleback strawberry print from Windham Fabrics to finish this one - it's just perfect!

A fun black and white print for binding was the perfect finish for this scrappy Granny Square quilt.

I love how it turned out so much!

It's Granny Season over here!

Every summer I love making a traditional quilt pattern that uses up my fabric stash.

This summer I decided it would be the traditional Granny Square block, and I wrote up the instructions in a free downloadable pattern, just for you!

Download your copy here!

I pulled a huge number of scraps from my stash and made twenty unique blocks - but I left the outer squares the same on all of them for a bit of cohesion.

I used Ruby Star Society speckled in peony for all of the outer squares.

These blocks whip up really fast, and are a little addictive to make!

The Grandmother's Scrap Patch quilt block pattern is inspired by the traditional Grandmother's Cross block and features nine patch blocks.

This quilt design is perfect for using up scrap pieces of fabric and to play with colour combinations. There is also a fun twist if you put multiple blocks together to create a throw quilt!

For my sample I used a variety of Heather Ross scraps that I had on hand, with scrap Ruby + Bee solids for my block backgrounds.

The nine patches are so fun to sew up, and come together quickly!

This block pattern was originally designed for the 2024 Machine Sampler Minis event, and includes a link to a video tutorial for the on-point block assembly!

I used a Ruby Star Society speckled fabric in pink as sashing to tie the blocks all together. Extra mini nine-patches make the cutest cornerstone blocks!

The Wildflower Mix quilt pattern released in May 2024!

The Wildflower Mix quilt is a blend of the traditional broken wheel and sawtooth star quilt blocks - and is the perfect pattern for mix and match fat quarters, fat eighths, scrappy sewing, or showing off a beautiful palette of solids.

The pattern also includes a BONUS stem block and instructions to make a 60” throw-size quilt in a flower/stem alternating layout (25 blocks) with no sashing as shown in this blog post!

How will you mix up your flowers?

I used a lot of scraps from my stash for making this sample. It was so fun to sew together!

I was surprised at how many different green fabrics I actually had in my stash!

I love how the stems give a totally different look to the wagon wheel block, making a scrappy fabric garden! Which Wildflower Mix quilt will you choose?

The Wildflower Mix quilt pattern released in May 2024!

For my cover mix version I used a fresh palette of Ruby + Bee Solids by Windham Fabrics.

The colours used are: salvia, vervain, unicorn, posy, peachy keen, azalea, evergreen, agave, china blue, Provence blue, and wisteria for background.

I love how beautifully this palette mixes and matches together!

The pattern also includes a bonus stem block to create a flower garden variation, so it's like you get two quilt patterns in one!

Wintry is a modern, block based snowflake quilt.

The pattern includes two colour versions - this is Version Two!

The White is White Linen.

I loooooove the backing I chose for this quilt. It's the perfect winter print from Ruby Star Society's Winterglow line!

Vinyl stickers are also available!

You know I had to make a scrappy version of the Wintry quilt pattern!

Wintry is available in two colour way options - this is Version 1 - the one with multicoloured snowflakes and sashing!

I had the best time choosing a range of cheerful fabrics from my stash.

The background used in this quilt is my favourite - Cotton and Steel Freckles.

This quilt is 9 blocks - the crib size, although I'm planning to add another row to make it the small throw - the perfect size for snuggling in Winter.

The Wintry pattern is in my shop now in PDF, printed and wholesale formats.

Stickers are also available!
