Through Love Quilt

2020 has been rough. Too much division. Too much loneliness and distress. Too much heartache. But when the world seems to fall apart, we quilters stitch it back together.

“Through Love” is a quick and easy jelly roll pattern with a powerful message: LOVE. It was created by Allie Perry of Taren Studios who says, “We are all connected through love, and when we come together, we can create something beautiful.”

As you work on this simple strip set quilt, I hope it brings healing and peace to your heart. Click HERE to watch the tutorial!

Snowball Star Quilt

When Suzy Snowflake comes tap, tap, tappin’ at your windowpane, how do you react?

Do you welcome winter with open arms or do you wrap up in your thickest quilt and “hibernate” ‘til spring?

Do you curse each icy flake, or do you set up the Christmas tree and drink peppermint cocoa for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?

Love it or hate it, winter is on its way, and Jenny has just the quilt to get you in the mood:

The Snowball Star is a quick and easy jelly roll pattern. We’re using Ombre Snowflake Metallic strips, and every block is made special with – you guessed it – snowballed corners! Click HERE to watch the tutorial!

Bow Tie Party Quilt

2020 is the year of staying home. It’s the year of sweatpants and old t-shirts and not knowing if I even own makeup anymore. There’s nowhere to go and no one to impress.

But sometimes I just want to feel fancy. I long for sequins and heels and sparkling diamond earrings. I want to see my husband in a well-tailored tux with patent leather shoes and a dapper bow tie. Is that too extreme for ANOTHER movie night at home? I think not!

This week Jenny is whipping up a quick and easy Bow Tie Party quilt using precut jelly roll strips. These little bow tie blocks are so chic, you’ll be feelin’ fancy in no time!

Bear Paw on Point Quilt

They say there’s more than one way to skin a cat. (Ew, right?) I prefer to say there’s more than one way to set quilt blocks on point!

Last week Jenny taught one quick and easy way to set a quilt on point; this week, she’s demonstrating another simple method!

She starts with an easy-peasy bear paw block and stitches it up with setting triangles. It’s the perfect pattern for your favorite 2.5 inch strips, and it comes together like a dream! Click HERE to watch the tutorial!
