2025

They say that all content created on the internet should center the reader, not the writer, but I am going to break that rule. A lot of times I write of myself but the words are actually not for me, but these words are. I have owned a fabric shop for nearly 15 years and every single day I am so grateful for that gift. From my very first sales on etsy to every quilt kit we’ve sold this week, my gratitude sometimes overwhelms me. I hope that I am worthy of the trust shown in me. Life has changed so much. We used to ship every single item same day while we had newborns and now with teenagers we ask for 7-10 days. It’s not laziness, I promise. I often feel like we let people down when we can’t ship as fast as I’d like. The truth is, we are doing our best to balance our kids’, their needs and activities during a season I think they need us more than they did as infants and our wonderful customers. Add in the shipping delays, price increases, and inconsistencies we’ve struggled with from suppliers since 2020 and I often wonder how we ever moved so fast before. But, none of the challenges and none of the struggle have taken away the joy of actually making a quilt. Every single one feels magical. So here are a few things I’ve made lately. They bring me great joy and I hope as these kits go out into the world and turn into quilts in your home they bring both the maker and the receiver enormous joy.

This is my Sonnet Quilt in Maple. We only offer this design in kits and this is the current colorway. We’ll also be bringing back the cinnamon spice colorway shortly. If you have been hoping for one, the wait list is here.

I’ve just put together this new design I’m naming ‘Heritage’ because it combines so many historical blocks and techniques into one gorgeous extra large block. I’ll have kits for this one this week including those sweet horses! This bundle will be extremely limited and if you want one I recommend signing up for the waitlist. The finished quilt will be 66″ x 90″. We’ll bring this design back in Christmas colors before Thanksgiving.

I shrunk my Sonnet block down to this tiny size for the most perfect pincushion. This color sold out quickly but we do have a few colors left in my shop. These come together SO FAST.

There were some other fun projects this fall like this bear paw variation pillow for our subscribers in our Tiny Piecers club and a few blocks I’m not sure what to do with. And I’m not really ready to say goodbye to autumn making so I’m sure I’ll add a few things before I dive into Christmas head on. I have so many quilty dreams. I hope this week is kind to you and your bobbin never runs out. Til my next post <3 Amanda
