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.

The Beautifully Made quilt pattern can be found in my shop here, both digital and printed-mailed options available.

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!

Pretty Autumn Table Runners


This past autumn (2025) I had the opportunity to design and make with some gorgeous fall fabric - Hoffman Fabrics' Harvest Bouquet - and made two simple yet so so pretty quilted table runners.


First up is this simple table runner made with strips of varying widths cut width of fabric long. A very quick quilt to make with space a plenty for the quilting to shine. 


Again, I thought lattice quilting would suit this runner well so I used the second of two fall/autumn versions that Urban Elementz came up with for the Floral Crosshatch (love this quilting panto) edge-to-edge longarm quilting pantograph. (Urban Elementz is the best!)

Harvest Crosshatch did not disappoint. It stitched out so quickly and neatly.
Don't you just love the little pumpkins and leaves with the crosshatching?! 
I turned out so well.  This tablerunner finished at 14" x 41".
(See my previous blog post for the first autumn/fall crosshatch option Urban Elementz came up with for some extra adorable crosshatch quilting.)


The second simple-yet-pretty table runner I made with Harvest Bouquet was designed to focus on the gorgeous pumpkin print.


Such rich fall colors to bring the warmth and coziness of fall indoors. This quilted fall table runner finished a bit bigger at 14" x 54".


Using my regular sewing machine and walking foot, I did wavy straight-line quilting to add simple movement.

These runners were such a joy to make and gift.

Happy quilting, everyone!
