Work on each type of block as its own little section and before you know it, your vining garden will emerge! …… QUILT SPECIFICS All the blocks are made with my standard SEW & FLIP METHOD of piecing which means no templates, paper piecing, or anything complicated.

AGATHA’S OAKS Acorns are at the very top of my favorite autumn motifs and I have created several favorite acorn projects over the years. Not to mention leaves… of all kinds, shapes and sizes. I love creating with them! This time I wanted something a bit more sophisticated and timeless that would be a part of my late harvest & soft autumn vibe in the house. In my opinion this pattern works starting in early August all the way through Thanksgiving and is the perfect backdrop to any autumnal decorating. Filled with soft greys, charcoal blacks, my signature warm butterscotchy oranges all set o ..read more

Welcome to your fifth installment of our 2024-25 FIGS & FRIENDS program! I love the interplay of these soft peachy pinks mixed in with citron and olive tones. The resulting color combo feels artsy, unique, and trendy all at the same time. Mixing some of my favorite coral and citron tones from my brand new PORTOFINO collection with Ruby Star and others was so much fun for me, and I love the scrumptious palette that was born as a result. And if you’re new around here or want more information about the FIGS & FRIENDS program itself, scroll to the bottom for answers to some FAQs! …… COLLEC ..read more

PECAN BLOSSOMS The first of my AGATHA ROAD accompanying patterns, PECAN BLOSSOMS, definitely has my heart and will go down as one of my all time favorite design creations. Once in a while a pattern will feel so unique and so very much “me” and this is definitely one of them. Its definitely a blend of inspiration sources for me but based firmly in my newly found admiration of cross stitch. As I researched and perused hundreds of examples, I was once again completely drawn in by the wonderful images in vintage cross stitch samplers [I do see a trend happening in my design brain]! Quickly this bl ..read more

Like so many of you, I cannot wait for that time of year when all the orange and black decorates my home. All the ALL HALLOWS EVE quilts come out to play, and each year I am itching to add in a few more to my ever-growing collection. I love the moody vibe they create in the house! For me, retro Halloween is all about soft, romantic prints and classic-feeling vibes. I don’t know about you, but orange is at the very top of my list of favorite colors, especially when it is paired with autumnal shades of greys, creams, and soft blacks. Seriously… orange is the best color especially during that tim ..read more
