I’m already in timeout for this. Haven’t bought a new pattern since Friday!

A pretty rainbow scrap quilt to kick off the week! This was a leaders and enders quilt that I worked on all summer. I love how the colors fall through it instead of being in a rigid pattern. You can find the pattern in the book Zero Waste Quilting.

A small quilt with a white ghost on a black background. The ghost has a duck beak and the background has scattered gray dots. Next to the quilt is a stuffed duck in a bear costume and in front of it are 20 tiny ducks arranged in three lines.

I haven’t finished a quilt since May (though three(!) tops are currently being quilted) and needed some instant quilt gratification so I sewed up this mini quilt which I call β€œDuck Ghost”. Pattern is by Quiet Play and has loads of other animal ghosts too.

Unfortunately, it was made from scraps so I can’t make another one. I don’t sell finished items, only patterns. But thank you for the compliment!

A small green and orange drawstring bag with black fabric strings and an orange flannel lining. The bag is partially open and colorful D12 dice are spilling out on a while background.

A small quilting break - my child requested a dice bag for D12s. Said child picked the fabrics and thread colors, and was thrilled by my suggestion to use a bit of leftover flannel as the lining. Another happy customer!

The β€œMothly Cube” - I turned this cross-stitch into a little display cube instead of a mini quilt. Faster and fun!

A small rail-style quilt in a variety of pastel colors placed on top of the same quilt made at full size.

My Mini Zephyr went to the quilt show in the β€œMiniatures” category. It has the same number of blocks as the full quilt, but the entire thing is smaller than a block in the full quilt. (Link to blog post/more photos in comments).

Loved Chuck and looking forward to this one too. Don’t think I’ve stopped thinking about this story since I first read it back in high school.

Just finished reading this while I was visiting my state’s quilt fair - really enjoyed it! Sylvia is my favorite character and I love when she gets a story!

I released another quilt pattern! This quick and easy pin banner lets you display your collection of enamel pins or magnetic needle minders, and is sized to fit a varsity letter if you have one of those to show off (I bought myself the β€œK” online).

I’m almost 20 years in and still overbuy. I’d rather have extra than run out!

Another scrappy finish! This one (front, binding, flannel back) is made of scraps from finished quilt backs. I used black and white as accents in each row to tie the top together. Original block patterns by me, more details here: bluepipdesigns.blogspot.com/2025/06/the-...

I still have two blocks to make. The hardest part for me is picking the fabric.

Finished my Christopher Robin quilt block right before the thunderstorms rolled in, I might need to borrow his umbrella later today!

This quilt is a heart project-each blue four-patch contains a different blue fabric from a project I worked on over the last seven years.Even the border and binding are leftovers from other projects. I recently ran out of the cream-colored squares, which meant it was time to promote it to the couch!

I wish I was on a sunny, internet-free beach like the one in this cross-stitch mini quilt, but all I have is this one full of winter debris (at least there’s no snow!).

Made a teeny-tiny version of my Zephyr quilt pattern to enter in the β€œMiniatures” category at the state quilt show this June. Lots of fussy cutting - I love it so much!

Buy more background fabric than you think you’ll need, then use scraps from your stash on the design.
