I will be listing these beauties made by my husband in my Etsy shop at noon EDT tomorrow (Monday).
They sell quickly and we do not take custom orders but he is working on another batch.
If you are local, I reserved a few seam rippers for in-person shopping so stop in!

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.

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!

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!

I am so sorry. I hope you are able to keep comfortable and safe.
I am so sorry to hear this. Thank goodness that you have a fireplace. Any update on when you will get your power back?

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.
It's going to be called Shuffle due to the many ways that the blocks can be arranged.
Thanks!
Are you thinking that it's gemstones? Not exactly though I see it too!
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!
