Flight Plan Quilt Pattern | Modern Triangle Quilt Pattern

She’s finally here! The Flight Plan quilt pattern is now available for instant PDF download!

I wasn’t sure if this pattern would see the light of day!

She was a long time in the making as I tested, tested and tested those templates some more, but you asked for her and so I stuck with it to deliver her to you!

Checking in on that quilty to-do list | Q3 Finish-A-Long 2019 Proposed Finishes

Ugh, this was not a productive quarter as far as FAL goes.

I know these months happen, but man is it eye opening and a little discouraging to see that I only knocked off a couple of things from my Q2 FAL list. 

But I’ll take any progress, because two in particular have been hanging out for awhile. And it felt really good to knock them off my to-quilt list (not to mention a mental weight too!).

Summer Solstice Mini Art Quilts | Featuring new to me Aurifloss

I shared with you not too long ago why I love Aurifil Threads and in that post I also mentioned that I was thrilled to be part of the Aurifil family as an Aurifil Artisan. 

A perk of being an Aurifil Artisan is getting fun mail that has lots of goodies for me to test out!

And test out is exactly how I’ve decided to kick things off!

Aurifil Artisan Collection 2019

The thread has arrived!!

And not just any thread – no, this is the good stuff all the way from Italy 😉

Honestly, it was kinda cool to receive a package from Italy. Having never been, it feels cool to at least have a piece of a place I want to visit. Surely, I’m not the only one who geeks out over thread and a parcel’s origins?

Rainbow Block | Showing love and support through quilting

I’m normally all about sharing the happy joyful stuff, because, well, life throws us enough curve balls that it can be nice to have a place to go to be cheered up.

I know life is not all about fabric, pretty colours and snuggly quilts.

But, here’s the thing, fabric, pretty colours and snuggly quilts is exactly what I turn to when I need more joy in my life.

Fall Irish Vortex | Time to bust open those fat quarter bundles!

Versatility – isn’t that one of the best things about a quilt pattern?

Being able to use the same steps, but come out with an entirely different look and feel?

Yes!!! Me too!

That’s what I love about the Irish Vortex quilt pattern – you have lots of options to play!

Why I love Aurifil Thread | 2019 Aurifil Artisan

When I first started sewing and quilting, I never really gave much thought to my thread. In fact, I discounted it all together and just focused on what was readily available at my local big box fabric store and whether the colour matched my project.

Then I heard it mentioned that thread is the glue that keeps your project together. And something clicked for me; I’ve never seen thread in the same way since!

From that point on, I’ve been on the hunt to find the best threads.
