Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! I hope everyone’s day is going awesome-ly!! :)

It’s time for our Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of our awesome quilt designers who recently launched a new quilting book. Jessie Kurtz of Harding Hill Designs, who designed our beautiful Crossroads Quilt, released her new book at Spring Quilt Market: One Block Remix – 10 Fresh Quilts from One Traditional Block.

The book, available in her Etsy Shop, features quilts that use a traditional 2-1/2″ strip block, but modernized into fun and different quilts, ranging from crib-sized to king. Such a brilliant concept, using the same block to make unique quilts. We were happy to send Jessie some fabric for her quilts, and love how they turned out!

The first is her Downtown Criss Cross Quilt, which features our Rise & Shine Collection. We love how the blues and yellows pop against the solid black! The second quilt featuring Camelot Fabrics is her Uptown Turnaround Quilt, with Wildflowers by Alisse Courter. Who knew equilateral triangles could be so fun!!

Congratulations on the book launch, Jessie! We are so glad to be a part of it. All of the quilt designs are just stunning!!  You can find Jessie’s book on her Etsy Shop, as well as lots more from her on her blog, Facebook, and Instagram. Have a fabulous rest of the day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! We hope you are having a lovely day. We forgot to mention that yesterday was National Puppy Day, and wanted to give a shout-out to our favorite little snuggles. We adore you!

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring one of our quilt patterns from our Free Projects Program, our Crossroads Quilt by Harding Hill Designs. Crossroads is an intricate, but stunning quilt design that is composed of a multitude of half square triangles (HSTs) sewn together. Together they intertwine to create an absolutely beautiful “cross” design, the centerpiece of the whole quilt. Because of the complexity of Crossroads, it would be a showstopper as a bed quilt or wall design. All the intricate work would be absolutely worth it. Promise. As well, it looks amazing with our vivacious Gypsy Lane by Jane Farnham Collection!

This one is for all you enthused quilters!! Want to make your own Crossroads Quilt? Click MORE for the full instructions.

Hi everyone!

It’s time for this week’s Thankful Thursday, and today we are featuring one of our quilt pattern designers…Jessie Kurtz of Harding Hill Designs! Jessie Kurtz is the incredibly talented pattern designer and founder behind Harding Hill Designs, a pattern company dedicated to creating unique and vibrant project patterns that are easy to follow & fun to make! Her stunning patterns can be found on Etsy and Craftsy, as well as some quilt shops!

We had the absolute pleasure of partnering with Jessie of Harding Hill Designs to create a quilt design for our Free Projects Program! Jessie created this beautiful and modern digital quilt pattern with our Petite Plume by Andrea Turk from Cinnamon Joe Studio Collection called Crossroads. We adore the simplicity of the over look, with the cross pattern, and the intricate triangle detailing within the cross. It makes for a very interesting and eye-catching quilt, and would be beautiful as wall décor! You can download the free PDF for the Crossroads Quilt on our website HERE! :)

You can find Harding Hill Designs’ patterns on Etsy and Craftsy, and you can learn more at Jessie’s blog, Facebook Page, and Twitter. We want to say a big thank you to Jessie for creating such a gorgeous quilt design for us, and her wonderful partnership. We had an amazing time working with you!! We hope you really love Crossroads as much as we do – be sure to get the free pattern for it! Have a lovely day, everyone!! :)

Happy Sewing!
