Fall Fabric Bundles in my Etsy Shop that You Can't Resist

I've been pretty open that I'm struggling with this Fall thing - it's here already and I'm not ready! Since I haven't been successful in rolling back time, I guess I just have to embrace it!

Last week I shared my Fall Fancy quilt that is in Quilter's World Spooktacular Halloween Quilting book that just came out.  This is a gorgeous scrappy quilt that is a lot of fun and really easy to assemble. For your convenience, here is a direct link to purchase the pattern.   In case you missed the original blog post, this link will take you directly to it to learn more about the quilt.

Fall Fancy in Quilter's World Spooktacular Halloween Quilting Book

As much as I want to deny it - Fall is here!  The temperatures are dropping and I'm already planning to roast marshmallows around the fire pit next week.  

I want to share one of my latest designs with you - Fall Fancy.   It's in Quilter's World's new Spooktacular Halloween Quilting book.  I gave you a sneak peak last week when the quilt came back from the publisher with the promise of a proper blog post .. well here is that proper blog post!

Fall Fancy combines a couple of my favorite elements - leaf blocks and flying geese.  However, these aren't ordinary leaf blocks, they include some log cabin strips in them too... just for fun.  The quilt is pieced in rows, which seems to make it go together quicker too and we all love quilts that are quick and easy to assemble.

Fall Fancy is a great stash busting quilt too.  When I designed it, I knew my autumnal stash bin was overflowing and I was hoping that this quilt would make a big dent in it ... well, it didn't! So I guess I will just have to make more stash-busting quilts :) 

I also want to thank The Warm Company for providing the Soft & Bright batting I used in the sample quilt. 

If you haven't checked out this book yet - Spooktacular Halloween Quilting has so many neat projects in it for your fall decorating - table runners & mats, pillowcases, quilts, mug rugs and more!  It's one you definitely want to purchase.

Hey Everybody!

It's time again for this month's Designer Tips & Techniques Virtual Show.  


This is such a fun event where I get so many kind comments - I love presenting them!  

This month I'll be presenting on Wednesday August 5 at 1 p.m. EST on my Masterpiece Quilting Facebook page.   I hope you will join me!  

I normally keep it a surprise, but I will go ahead and let you know what I'll be sharing with you!  I'm going to be talking about organization & workflow - which means making quilts more efficiently with less wasted time!  I'll be sharing the exact same processes I use weekly as I design and make quilts for magazines and fabric companies.  If you have any friends who you think would be interested in this - be sure to share this post with them.   

How does the virtual show work? If you are new to the event here's a quick rundown on how it works. 

At the top of the hour (EST), a different designer will be presenting on their facebook page.  It's as easy as following the links below.  Each presentation will be about 15 minutes long.  

It's a quick and easy way to learn something new and meet some of your favorite designers all at the same time! 

To make it really easy to keep up, in advance, go through the list and like / follow each presenter - that way you will get a notification of when they go Live!  Easy enough?

Fabric Bundles in my Etsy Shop

I just wanted to share a quick listing of the fabric bundles in my Etsy shop that have been popular for personal face protection.   I know many of us are scrambling to make sure our family members have masks if they need them, so I felt it was easiest to list them all here.  Just as soon as I think we are prepared, we need more!  Each bundle included free shipping!

Least expensive option is a 10 Fat Quarter bundle - our pick, so you won't be getting the exact fabrics shown but a mix of lights / darks / prints / tonals. These are perfect for everyday masks - the ones we keep in cars, by the door, in backpacks, lunch bags, etc. 


Most popular is the 6 fat quarter bundle of blue solids and tonals.  They are masculine and a great substitute for black fabric, which is super hard to find right now.  Popular for teachers or business men. 



These have been a popular request for girls going back to school.  6 fat quarter bundle of pastel solids.  They go with everything and are in classic colors. 


For my farm animal lovers, here's the bundle for you!  6 fat quarter bundle of assorted farm animal print fabrics. 



If anyone would have told me 6 months ago that I would be selling fabric for personal protection, I would have thought you were crazy ... but here I am!  Be safe. Be well.
