I don’t know about you but kite flying just makes

I don’t know about you but kite flying just makes me feel like a kid again. And a kite quilt? Well that is pretty much the perfect pairing if you ask me.

Grab your ROSIE kit if you are a LBOF subscriber or any 2 CHARM PACKS and join us to make our latest pattern, PATCHWORK KITES.

Honestly, I think you will be surprised by how quickly this pattern comes together. Let’s just say that we are in the GATHER YOUR SUPPLIES phase of our Facebook Group SEW ALONG, and a few people are already done with the entire quilt!

Can you believe that? Come on over and join us!

Happy Mother’s Day to all of us who are mothers, h

Happy Mother’s Day to all of us who are mothers, hope to be mothers, are adopted mothers to those who need it… and everything in between. This day is bittersweet for lots of people for lots of reasons and this day belongs to all of you too. I hope your day is filled with a lot of even just a little glimmer of joy, gratitude, hope, fullness and the little things that make being a mother both the best and the hardest job on the planet!

Today is the day…

I am so proud to introduce LARKSPUR & LINEN. My newest collection for MODA FABRICS.

Fig Tree has gone full “cottagecore” with this group. The collection is filled with both cottons & LINENS in soft colors and wonderful textures!
I might be just a little bit obsessed and will be using them for SO MANY different projects over the next months.

And guys… the LINENS are so soft and such an incredible add to our quilting journey!
I cannot wait to bring you along with me as we sew with these fabrics together.

Over the years, the Cotswolds area of the British countryside has become our family’s absolute favorite place to visit.
The villages, the cottages, the history, the green rolling hills, the antiques and the sheep!
These fabrics are my take on life in a Cotswolds village.

I cannot wait to share all the quilts, the projects and show you some behind the scenes sewing.
I will be sharing much more next week at the H&H trade show in Chicago.
I hope you join me to see it all!

So tell me… what do you think of this new twist on Fig Tree country?

I was so excited to hear that my SUMMER’S END fabr

I was so excited to hear that my SUMMER’S END fabric collection would be arriving early. It’s already popping up in quilt shops and I can’t wait to see what you make with it. We have lots of projects planned for this summer... feels like a perfect pairing for SUMMER’S END, don’t you think?!

If you’d like a more in-depth look, come on over to my YouTube channel and watch the SUMMER’S END TRUNK SHOW [link in bio].

So tell me…do you have a favorite quilt yet?!
As for me... MAISY DAISIES has been a long time favorite but you know... GERTRUDE is kind of a show stealer and CAMEOS is such a fun make! Of course SPIKY ROSE and GARDEN ROSEHIPS are both so perfect for summer sewing... okay I am of no help in the “pick a favorite” discussion so you all are going to have to help me!

The calm before the #figfarmretreat . Once a year

The calm before the #figfarmretreat . Once a year we host an event that we look forward to all year. And every year I get so busy that I forget to post much of anything.

Love you guys!

A Gorgeous GARDEN?

Endless QUILTS Hanging in the Sunshine?

And possibly a special opening night LECTURE from me [and maybe a couple classes too]?

What’s not to love? Gosh, I sure hope I will see you there!

Hope your day is filled with some eggs, some people you love and perhaps evening some evening sewing after all the activities are done.

We don’t normally do this... But we have receive

We don’t normally do this...

But we have received SO MANY requests for this BLOCK OF THE MONTH SAMPLER pattern to be released and available for everyone that we just couldn’t say no.

For those of you who have been wanting an heirloom sampler to work on this year for the 250th anniversary or for any other reason, this might just be your chance. This is one of our most popular samplers [originally only available to those in the actual program] from a few years ago and it is one that has become a fan favorite around here. It is quintessentially “Americana” summertime in style and something that you can work on over the course of the year and enjoy for decades to come.

Introducing the APPLE BLOSSOM ROAD SAMPLER pattern!!

A few things you will want to know:

• Read the pattern description carefully to know what other patterns you need to complete this as shown.
• The description also has all the info we could come up with for material suggestions to make this as close to the original as possible
• The pattern is laid out in 12 months, working a set of blocks at a time, to make the sampler less overwhelming
• My current ROSIE collection paired with my EYELET basics are a perfect substitute for the original fabrics used [those were from FRUIT COCKTAIL, EYELET and a few mix ins from other MODA designers]
• If you are not familiar with my EYELET basics, I would recommend grabbing some of the suggested colors at a local quilt shop that carries them [or on our website if you don’t have a LQS] and use those to “match to” when you are hunting around shops.
• You will also want to start collecting your favorite soft “low volume” cream and ivory prints for the backgrounds

Link to the pattern is in the BIO above or you can comment APPLE in the comments here and we will send the info straight to you!

Let me know if you have any questions about the pattern below or feel free to DM me and I will try to answer everything I can!
