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!

New Quilt Pattern: Beautifully Made


A little simpler to piece but just as beautiful as its sister quilt pattern Beautifully Done, it is my pleasure to introduce Beautifully Made.


Beautifully Made is designed for layer cakes (10" precut squares) but also includes instructions for yardage, fat quarters, and fat eighths.


Do you like size options?  Beautifully Made includes five sizes
Baby/Lap 48"x 60"
Throw 60" x 71"
Twin 71" x 83"
Queen 94" x 94"
King 106" x 106"


Longarm quilting is the gorgeous Hanging Lanterns edge-to-edge long arm pantograph from My Creative Stitches. With a nod to classic clam shell quilting, Hanging Lanterns adds so much grace and beauty to the quilt top.


The recipient isn't afraid of a little boldness, and she chose a lovely darker purple thread. Gorgeous!!!!


Fabric prints are mostly from the lovely Evenfall line from Lewis & Irene. Sashing and background are a charcoal color Tilda solid, so lovely with a wonderful feel and drape. Binding is another Tilda solid, the perfect finishing touch.


Happy quilting, everyone!

Four Corners - A Charming Barn Quilt Pattern


My most recent quilted barn quilt didn't get finished until late in the season (2025), but it did get finished. Woohoo!!!


I am thrilled to introduce my newest barn quilt pattern, Four Corners, featuring the lovely Sunflower Whispers fabric line by Lisa Audit for Riley Blake Designs. (It was so nice to make another quilt with this beautiful fabric : )


Four Corners and Sunflower Whispers are perfect together. Such a lovely quilted wallhanging (two other sizes available with the pattern - smaller and larger).


After much deliberation on what longarm edge-to-edge quilting pantograph to use (autumnal themed or not was the big question), New Growth 2 from My Creative Stitches came out the winner. Its simplicity and natural elements won me over.


Oh my! I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Quilting perfection! The extra little layer of design that adds just the right finishing touch to this charm pack barn quilt.


Per usual, Four Corners Barn Quilt features three sizes using a mini charm pack (2 1/2" squares), a charm pack (5" squares), or a layer cake (10" squares). 
Want to use one color? That's covered as well.


The Four Corners Barn Quilt pattern is available in my shop here - digital download and printed/mailed options available.

Happy quilting, everyone!
