What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Modern fabric designing powerhouse Heather Bailey is now with FIGO Fabrics, the modern division of Northcott Fabrics and we’ve got her latest line – Local Honey.

This vibrant magenta, green and yellow collection is beautiful and will make some fabulously bright and cheery quilts. Her show-stopping bee print is very Tula-esque with it’s attention to detail and medallion settings.

This collection is LARGE with 27 prints, so we’ve split it into two color stories of fat quarter bundles. So you can get both or just pick your favorite bundle and grab some yardage of your favorite prints that ...

It’s Halloween Week at Quilt Addicts Anonymous! We’ve got all our fall prints in and we wanted to share the new goodies and some inspirational projects you can totally finish by October 31st of THIS YEAR!

First up is a remake of Dot Dash, a pattern from my third book Fat Quarter Patchwork Quilts. We did a version of this in Halloween fabric last year and you all loved it. So we made an adorable digital version in Ghost Town by Dana Willard for FIGO Fabrics.

Dot Dash just does such a good job of showing off pretty ...

Twinkle is one of my favorite patterns in my best-selling book Fat Quarter Workshop. It is a large scale block that features two colliding stars.

The design of the block makes it great for fabric collections that have a lot of low volume neutrals that don’t offer a lot of value contrast with the background. We use them in the center of the block and the darker fabrics as the star points to clearly define the block and all all the fabrics to shine.

The original fabric in the book quilt is long gone, but we thought Festive Fauna ...

It’s been a minute since we did a new arrivals video, so we have A LOT to share with you today!

We have beautiful new fat quarter bundles from Anna Maria Horner and Tim Holtz. Anna Maria delivers beautiful color contrasts with bold color choices and large modern florals and does not disappoint.

Tim Holtz branches out a bit from his normal earth tones to create graffiti-like textures in some rich jewel tones. It still could work for a “man quilt” and I am just in love with his latest collection.

Then we’ve got three new kits for ...

In today’s video I show you how to take a really simple wavy line quilting design and use it to create custom quilting in a star block.

We’ve done wavy lines before. They make a fabulously fast edge-to-edge design. But when you use wavy lines to travel from the center of your star block out to the points, the results are stunning. Just watch the video to check our this beginner friendly and FAST quilting design.

The quilt I am working on is Tree Star, our latest pattern release from our Stashin’ with Stephanie subscription club. Members receive ...

We have got a real treat for you today! FIGO Fabric designer Sarah Gordon is on talking about her latest fabric collection Forage, a beautiful mix of teals and magentas with modern florals, fruits and some sophisticated bugs.

And she answers the question of what type of fruit is featured in the collection. I know you all have been dying to know by your comments!

Sarah started her career working in the fashion industry, first coloring fabrics for the new seasons taking her inspiration from the catwalks. Then she moved onto designing prints and later working with partners to found ...

In today’s tutorial I give you a play-by-play description as I quilt my latest design Star Sign.

You can follow along so you can learn how this easy star and loop de loop quilting meander, and see how I use it to work around the log cabin areas of the quilt, filling the space evenly and working around the star blocks to avoid getting stuck.

I also show you an introduction to ruler work, which is the technique I used inside the stars to make them pop.

This is the last in our mini series on the Star Sign ...

You may think we forgot how to count. But today’s video is not a mistake … we are bringing you a 13th Make of Christmas!

We originally planned to remake Retro Tiles, my modern log cabin quilt using a layer cake with Polar Magic by Lemoni for FIGO. But when it was time to start filming, we still didn’t have the white fabric we ordered a month previously for the background.

But white 10-inch square packs AND white yardage arrived after I started shooting, so we decided to squeeze one bonus video in for you.

In this video we ...

The design for Reflection came to me in the middle of the night while feeding my newborn daughter. It was back when life was normal, and I thought a rainbow bargello would be a fantastic way to highlight the beautiful color transitions in Midsommar by Pippa Shaw for Figo.

Now that we are all stuck indoors for the foreseeable future, I feel like a bright rainbow quilt is the perfect antidote to the blues that can come with social distancing. And since it is a quick project, you can snuggle under it and feel better soon when it is done ...

It’s so exciting to show you another new quilt! I think you’ll fall in love with the Magic pattern all

I am just in love with this month’s Stashin’ with Stephanie pattern and the fat quarter bundle we used to make it, Flora by Marisol Ortega for FIGO Fabrics.
