Merry Christmas from Jenny’s Studio! Today Jenny has created something that is a gift JUST FOR YOU! It’s a Machine Sewing Pad with pockets that you can make any size! Plus, you’ll learn how to use one of Jenny’s favorite products, Steam-a-Seam, which will seriously improve your relationship with the binding process!
Click on the button to watch the tutorial and start removing some of the stresses from your life (your scissors will never go missing again!). Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
We’ve got a super fun quilt to share with you today. It’s extra special because it happens to be one of Jenny’s very favorites. She even keeps a metal replica of this block on the wall of her sewing studio, so while it’s sometimes known as Sister’s Choice or Father’s Choice, we’re calling our version The Studio Star Quilt. (Yes! Another star quilt! You can never have too many of those!)
All you need is your favorite jelly roll and some yardage to make this gorgeous quilt! We know you’re going to love this one as much as Jenny does!

This quilt features the brand new fabric line created by Mary herself, called Small Wonders for Springs Creative and it is filled with what Mary calls “irresistible small scale prints” perfect for patchwork. If you love a print, you don’t have to worry about cutting your favorite design in half or not seeing the complete print when you cut your fabric to piece together into a quilt! It has a beautifully vintage flare and it’s just so cute!
This quilt is a slight variation of the 54-40 or Fight Quilt. Watch in the tutorial how you can flip a few squares and get the original. We can’t wait to see what you make with this pattern! Make sure to share on social media using #andesquilt!
Here are a few quotes from Mary Fons that we love:
“When life as you know it is torn into a zillion pieces, it just makes sense to tear up fabric into a zillion pieces and then sew it back together again into organized blocks with a nice French-fold binding.” (Source)
“Once the quilt bug bit me, obsession set in.” (Source)
Do you ever see a quilt and you’re just knocked down by how beautiful and then become completely discouraged thinking it’s way too difficult to ever be able to make yourself? You may think this is one of those quilts, but it’s not! It’s the Hunter’s Star Quilt and it’s stunning and WAY easier than you would ever think!!
This features the gorgeous Tucker Prairie Layer Cake by One Canoe for Moda Fabrics! Don’t you just love it??
Have you already decided which fabrics you’ll use to create this one? Let us know in the comments!
9 minutes into the video, Jenny shows a diagram of the 2 differently oriented blocks. Here’s the diagram!
This Ribbon Star Quilt pattern is just so fun and you won’t believe how easily it all comes together! If you’ve ever made a log cabin block, the process is nearly the same… you just snowball two of the corners and you have a brand new block that makes a beautiful star when you put them together!
Isn’t it so cute? There are so many things you could do with this pattern using different styles of fabrics and we can’t wait to see what you create!
