It's Week 4 in the Shuffle Sewalong and we are sewing my favorite triangle design. It gets fun now because there are enough triangles completed to start shuffling them around and seeing what shapes get created.

I just released a Four Leaf Clover pattern if you want to try sewing yourself some luck!

It's week 3 in the Shuffle Sewalong. This is not my final layout--I am just pinning my triangles up as I make them and will start moving them around soon!!

I designed a new Baby Chick block to coordinate with my Petal + Stem book blocks. It also works with my Easter Egg PDF as I photographed it here!

There are so many cute possibilities!
Gentle Fade is also hanging at QuiltCon right now! Wish I was there and not here in the snow!

Avocado Toast was finished last fall. I was working with a bunch of sketches in EQ8 and one reminded me of an avocado. Then I decided to actually design an avocado. Next thing you know, I was designing toast too.

I had some note cards sets made for my shop using digital renditions of a few of my quilt designs. Here's one of my Flourish Quilt. I enjoyed packing them up into little bundles of prettiness!

Do you sew when times are stressful? I do. I think creating is as important now as ever. My new sewalong is coming soon and I hope it provides a welcome distraction.

I am definitely deeply, deeply fearful.

Here's a sneak peek of my next sewalong quilt! It's super versatile, stash friendly and, of course, foundation paper pieced.
I have a new account on Instagram @amyfriend.studio. I will post here too because I have no more trust!

I was asked about the hanging system that I am using for my quilts. I decided to make a video explaining the system. It became a family affair with my son filming and my husband had to demonstrate all the "up high" parts because I can't reach, even on the stool!

Oh, swappers are going to love the horses!

My husband gave me this glass cloche. I started researching what plants I could grow in my studio window and became convinced that I would kill whatever I tried to grow in it. So I made a bundle of fabric using solids that had sun damage in parts (can't even tell!).
