Introducing the official finish of STONEWASHED SUN

Introducing the official finish of STONEWASHED SUNSET, one of our annual BLOCK OF THE MONTH programs from last year, finished up earlier this year and just quilted by the incredible Diana Johnson [@quiltedgrammy]!

I am not normally a larger quilt gal, nor a blue gal. But there is a first for everything and I am in love with this beauty.

It might just be that this creation turned out a bit bigger than I had originally expected or planned for, but honestly sometimes the quilt and the blocks just lead you down a certain path and you can’t ignore it!

Normally I am a huge fan of large throw and lap quilts but this one is a solid twin size and a perfect guest bed option if you ask me! One of these days, I might have the time…🤣… to make this into a pattern for those of you who have already been asking!

Made almost entirely from DENIM & DAISIES with some favorite EYELETS thrown in as well as low volume prints from other MODA designer friends, this blue beauty has little hints of orange and caramel sparkle here and there for a bit more visual interest. So what do you all think... team blue? Or not so much?

AUTUMN CROSS STITCH is here… Introducing PECAN

AUTUMN CROSS STITCH is here…

Introducing PECAN BLOSSOMS as a trio design finished in a boxed “mattress”-style finish for a larger pincushion or an amazing paper weight…followed by AGATHA’S ACORNS as another trio, but in a vertical finishing using a frame for a perfect tabletop finish.

If you’ve been following along with our cross stitch journey, you might recognize the others shown here – including DENIM PUMPKINS and a few freebies: FAIRYTALE PUMPKINS and STAR OF THE HARVEST.

Stay tuned for an accompanying blog post for ALL the details. Patterns are available in both paper and PDF.

Special thank you to @thefeltedpear and @debralynntaylor for stitching up these gorgeous samples!

AUTUMN PATCHWORK...inspired by our harvest-feeling

AUTUMN PATCHWORK...inspired by our harvest-feeling bundle from a few weeks ago, I knew I wanted to work on something I could squeeze into all of the other deadlines I had. So it had to be easy. Like really easy.

I shared some progress in my stories, and had numerous requests for a basic pattern or tutorial on how I constructed mine. You’re now in luck...find a super simple tutorial on the BLOG today! Thanks to @thefeltedpear for the fabulous quilting!

BLACK EYED SUSAN… I first introduced this garde

BLACK EYED SUSAN…

I first introduced this garden-feeling flower quilt alongside my PORTOFINO fabric collection. I couldn’t decide between the traditional Black Eyed Susan coloring [using orange and black EYELET BASICS] or the more late-Summer RUDBECKIA version [using a LAYER CAKE of various prints], so of course I included them both! You should know me well enough by now that oftentimes I just can’t pick one!

Fast forward to the release of AGATHA ROAD, and I couldn’t help but picture the BLACK EYED SUSAN pattern in these lovely oranges, soft blacks, greys/taupes, and creams for a really soft autumn vibe.

Be sure to check out my STORIES today for a little video showing all three together...and let me know which version is your favorite!

The AGATHA ROAD/BLACK EYED SUSAN sample was sewn and quilted by the ever-so-talented Diana, @quiltedgrammy. That custom quilting...oh my gosh, so good.

PUMPKINS & CREAM…originally created waaayyyy bac

PUMPKINS & CREAM…originally created waaayyyy back with my very first Halloween collection, ALL HALLOWS EVE, we couldn’t help but put a new spin on this pattern favorite with my latest fabric arrival AGATHA ROAD.

We chose a darker background this time around [MODA Bella Mink I think], but still soft and romantic and timeless.

Such a great pumpkin quilt throw with a mix of oranges, creams, and just a touch of black…plus a few of my favorite tiny classic blocks to decorate each pumpkin!

Okay, so I have to know. What is your favorite… classic cream or moody dark??

A big thank you to my sample maker @jeaniehlm and the wonderful custom quilting by @quiltedgrammy.

A huge thank you to Susan [@thefeltedpear] and Lacey [@laceypoirier] for all of your amazing project contributions to our fun event, as well.

I especially want to thank Susan for her sampler cross stitch work that encouraged so many of you to jump on board with Fig Tree cross stitch! You all know that I am a cross stitch newbie but I am itching to do more and you all inspire me.

Even if the month is over, doesn’t mean that you have to stop working on your projects!
