New Quilt Pattern: Stony Steps


Want to make a simple yet gorgeous quilt? Pick out two of your favorite prints, toss in some background, grab a copy of my newest pattern Stony Steps, and you are all set to make one gorgeous quilt.


My version of Stony Steps is made with two of my favorite green prints from Abide (by Brenda Riddle for Moda Fabrics - love the serene, peaceful feel of this fabric line).


It turned out so serene and cuddly with Shannon Minky Cuddle backing and Hobbs Tuscany cotton/wool batting - so so cuddly!!!


Pictures truly do not do this quilt any justice. I tried so hard to capture the peaceful serene feeling it gives. This pic here is the most accurate for portraying the Abide green prints.

 Found the perfect longarm edge-to-edge quilting pantograph - Flirtatious Leaves found at Urban Elementz. It mimics the little leaf print and adds to the graceful, calm feel of the entire quilt.


Stony Steps is written with seven (yes, 7!) sizes:
Square - 63" x 63"
Throw - 63" x 72"
Long throw - 63" x 81"
Twin - 72" x 81"
Full - 81" x 99"
Queen - 99" x 99"
King - 117" x 117"


Lovely quilty texture for days!


Available in my shop in digital format and printed/mailed format.


My long throw size of the Stony Steps quilt pattern.
Currently dreaming of of a red, white and blue version. 
Maybe with the Independence Day fabric from Sweetwater/Moda Fabrics.

Happy quilting, everyone!

New Quilt Pattern: Quickly Done - Winter Friends

 

Using my collection of Winter Friends (by Deb Strain for Moda Fabrics) warm neutrals + a bit of red snowflakes, I made up this sample of Quickly Done, a layer cake pattern.

When you want an uber quick layer cake quilt pattern with very little matching and no sashing, Quickly Done is the pattern for you.

I must admit I was a bit apprehensive that it might be too plain, but it's not (IMO : ). I absolutely love how it turned out.

Ran short on fabric so made a couple of four patches to substitute for the layer cake/10-inch squares 


Can you see the squishiness? The wool batting + Cuddle backing (first time Cuddle user here) make the most luxurious cuddly quilt ever!!!


The longarm edge-to-edge quilting is the simple pantograph Loopy Snowflakes from Sew Shabby
Love her quilting pantos. They always stitch out so smoothly.


Go ahead. Reach in there and give this quilt a squeeze. You know you want to : )
I think all our winter quilts from here henceforth need Cuddle minky backings and wool batting.


The Quickly Done quilt pattern is written with five sizes -
Baby 50" x 50"
Throw 63" x 75"
Twin 75" x 100"
Queen 100" x 113"
King 113" x 113"

And includes instructions for layer cake/10" squares or yardage.

Available in paper or digital format in my shop.

Happy quilting, everyone!

Little Tree Log Cottage Quilt

 

My oldest work in progress (one of two - I don't like WIPs) is quilted, bound, and ready for Christmas 2026!!!


Pieced December 2019, I'm so happy to have this Little Tree version of my Log Cottage pattern finished.


Log Cottage is a jelly roll/precut 2 1/2" strips quilt pattern available with six sizes - 
Baby 48" x 48"
Throw 60" x 72"
Twin 72" x 84"
Full 84" x 96"
Queen 84" x 96"
King 108" x 108"


Want to cut your strips, that's covered as well.


For quilting I used the String of Snowflakes edge-to-edge longarm quilting pantograph from The Quilting Mill. Such an easy, light, fun quilting panto.


The quilting shows up amazingly on the flannel backing. And I just noticed how good the binding looks with the backing! Love!


The Log Cottage Quilt Pattern is available in my shop in printed and digital formats.

Happy quilting, everyone!
