New Quilt Pattern: Four Corners Barn Quilt



My most recent barn quilt didn't get finished until late in the season (2025), but it did get finished and I am thrilled to share my newest barn quilt pattern, Four Corners.


My sample quilt here features the lovely Sunflower Whispers fabric line by Lisa Audit for Riley Blake Designs.  It is just perfect here in Four Corners Barn Quilt. So so lovely!


After much deliberation on what longarm quilting pantograph to use (autumnal or not, that was the big question), New Growth 2 from My Creative Stitches came out the winner. I kept returning to it again and again; its simplicity and natural elements won me over. 


 Oh my! It's perfect on this quilt. The extra little layer of design that adds just the right finishing touch.


I couldn't be happier with how the New Growth 2 edge-to-edge long arm quilting pantograph turned out quilted on Four Corners Barn Quilt.


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



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!
