New Pattern: Meraki

 

Meraki is a Greek word that refers to the creativity and love that we put into things we make. 

This quilt takes a lot of sewing, but it goes together fast because the method is "liberated" and there's not much measuring required. Scrap quilts are the best, right? Especially when we're sheltering in place.

See the Meraki pattern here.

New Pattern: Town Square!

This quilt has two variations of the log cabin block separated by a nice saw tooth border. A piano key outer border adds a little elbow room for a light and airy vibe. This pattern isn't fussy when it comes to measuring. Gwen Marston's liberated quilting principles apply here.

Scrap quilts are perfect for this stay-at-home year, aren't they? We quilters are so smart to have stashed away plenty of fabric for a time like this! (I have about 10 years worth!) 

Stay safe out there! xoxo

Shoofly Quilt Pattern

I just finished making this little Valentine quilt for a member of my guild. Even if she sees this post, she doesn't know who it's for. We picked names from a hat. 

So of course I made a pattern too. This quilt measures 14" x 19," but there are directions for a twin size quilt in the pattern too. One nice feature of this pattern is that it shows new quilters how to make triangles that won't ever have the tips "clipped" off. That comes in handy for future quilts too.

This little wall/doll quilt goes so fast you can still whip one up before Valentine's Day.
