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!

My Redacted Quilt is hanging in the negative space category at QuiltCon 2026. You can read about it on my website: duringquiettime.com/2025/06/reda...

It's week 2 in the Shuffle Sewalong and we are sewing 2 of the Triangle 2 templates. Join us! duringquiettime.com/2026/01/shuf...

These are my two triangles from week 1 of the Shuffle Sewalong. It's not too late to join us if you are interested!

The Shuffle Sewalong starts Friday! I will be making a 2 color version with Pure Solids Plum Preserve and Cinnamon. There's still time to sign up! duringquiettime.com/2026/01/shuf...

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!

My Shuffle Sewalong is coming soon! It's a foundation paper pieced, modern quilt design with so many options for shuffling your blocks into unique layouts. #quilting #duringquiettimepattern #foundati... TikTok video by Amy Friend

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!

Here’s my first set of #tellmeastoryblockswap blocks for 2026

Oh, swappers are going to love the horses!

Oh yes, that's a spool shaped trash container my husband made for me that was really inconvenient as a trash can but great to raise the height of the display for the window. It is very similar to what you describe!

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!).

Thank you Betty. I am honored that you followed me here.

It also happened to me at the end of December and my appeal went through. This time they did not accept my appeal for no good reason. Did you get through to tech support outside of the appeal process? I don't know how to since I can't log in.

This morning the sky was the colors of this half yard bundle I put together, inspired by just that kind of winter sky. Here's the listing, if you are inspired to create with it! duringquiettime.etsy.com/listing/4400...
