A few more glimpses into our inaugural quilt retreat from last weekend. I’m still tired, 🤣 but what a dream come true!#figtreeandco #figtreequilts #figtreefabrics #quiltretreat #quiltretreats #quiltingatthefigfarm

EDIT: Giveaway now CLOSED! Congrats to @skynme2 and @mirose76 - check your DMs! The first batch of books has officially arrived! There is going to be lots more STRAWBERRY GARDEN goodness to share but for now I want you all to know 2 things: 1- Come learn about our upcoming book sew along on the blog and Facebook group #vintagebowtiesewalong and 2- How about a book giveaway today? Just answer one question for me… the fruit you are most likely to add to a quilt in any form?? Let’s go! #figtreeandco #figtreequilts #itssewemma #fatquartershop #strawberrygardenbom

We are working away on this charming lap throw in our Facebook Group Sew Along over the next few weeks. Come sew with us! These fun little inverted churn dash blocks are perfection to dress up your home this summer! I am so excited to be able to enjoy it all summer long... #figtreeandco #figtreequilts #modafabrics #ilovechambray #redwhiteandbluequilt

MODA BLOCKHEADS 5 continues! We are on Week 16 of Part 2 and it’s my turn to bring you all another block…meet: DOUBLE STAR!

In case you haven’t been following along with MBH5, we decided that the perfect theme for this scrappy star sampler is a classic ‘Fig Tree Christmas’ in reds, greens, and a large variety of cream prints. You can check the blog for weekly reference posts if you’d like to join us. It’s never too late!

Back to this week’s block…it’s really hard for me to pick my favorites when it comes to star blocks, but this DOUBLE STAR block is at the top for sure! Part of it is because I get to squeeze in two stars into one block, and part of it is because that gives me more fabrics to play with! There really is something so timeless and classic about star blocks so two can only be better if you ask me!

Be sure to visit today’s blog post for hints on block construction, as well as all the details on a special pincushion project idea - perfect for leftover 6” blocks! Link to blog is in my bio.

Enjoy! #figtreeandco #figtreefabrics #figtreequilts #showmethemoda #modablockheads5

Sooooo… this has finally happened. We have been planning and dreaming about welcoming quilty friends for a retreat for quite some time and we were finally able to pull it off. We are still in the midst of it this weekend but we hosted opening night at our barn and it was a magical night I think… Thank you to all of our guinea pig participants and we hope to have more to come! Thank you @modafabrics @fatquartershop and many others for your donations (more on that later). Thank you @thefeltedpear @cynthia.bird @jeaniehlm and so many others for helping us pull it all together!! #figtreeandco #figtreequilts #modafabrics #modafabricsandsupplies #quiltretreat #quiltretreats #quiltingatthefigfarm

The June issue of American Patchwork & Quilting (A

The June issue of American Patchwork & Quilting (APQ) is LIVE, again exploring the conversation on modern vs. traditional quilting!

For this issue, I invited my dear friend Jen Kingwell (@jenkingwell) to join me to talk about the continuum of traditional and modern quilting. I have been a fan of Jen’s and her unique scrappy quilt interpretations from the moment I met her and was so happy she agreed to join this conversation.

Jen and I decided to design quilts using the Churn Dash block. I decided to play with color in an unusual way so that even though the pieces are still a churn dash, the color placement makes it look like a totally different block.

Be sure to check the latest blog post for more information, including a Facebook Group SEW ALONG, starter kits, and a peek at Jen’s unique quilt [link in bio]!

Finishing up one of our annual block of the month

Finishing up one of our annual block of the month programs is at the very top of my list of favorite things. The way that I work on these programs, along with everyone else who is sewing, keeps it fun and exciting for me but also, I just never know exactly how it’s all going to come together in the end! I mean I have a rough idea clearly 😂😜… but not all the details. Which is one of the things I love the most about the whole process. I definitely had a major “love” moment when I laid this all out for the first time last week. For those of you working on your APPLE BLOSSOM project, I encourage you to keep going… I think you will love the finish 🍎🍏🍎🌷🌼🌸🇺🇸. #appleblossomroadbom #figtreefabric #figtreequilts #figtreeandco #modafabrics
