Maple Twist Quilt

I'm excited to introduce a new fall quilt, Maple Twist!

 

If you haven't heard, I love fall colors! All the red, orange and yellow landing on a green background, is so reminiscent of falls leaves littering the grass, right?

The Maple Twist quilt pattern uses a single block to make up several quilt sizes, featuring the shown lap size (52″ x 64″), plus a twin (64" x 88"), and a queen size (88" x 100").

Construction is super easy, especially if cutting is done in bulk, along with stitching units in groups. That makes Maple Twist a perfect project for the beginner quilter!

As for the quilting, I got a bit creative as I couldn't find a pantograph that conveyed the feeling of floating, swirling leaves. So I decided to modify one of my favorites, Passion Fruit. Where there was a flower, I re-drew a maple leaf. You can see the new leaf in the circle in the quilting closeup. 

Turned out just the way I wanted it!

For those of you wanting to enjoy your own Maple Twist quilt this season, use the coupon code 'FALLCOLORS' at Etsy checkout for 25% off. This coupon is valid now through November 10, 2023.

Happy Quilting!

Welcome to Midweek Makers!

It is seriously pumpkin time! Did you hear that the winner of the 2023 Pumpkin Weigh Off in Half Moon Bay was a record breaking 2749 pounds? Incredible!

Since I'm partial to pumpkins, especially my Pumpkat Patch runner and it's companion piece, Pumpkin Peek-a-Boo, I also like pumpkins a bit more modern. That's the Pumpkin applique block, an easy to make applique block for any project.

As a little pumpkin treat, now thru midnight October 31, 2023, the Pumpkin applique block plus ALL off my block patterns are 25% off - no coupon code necessary. Enjoy!

Let's take a look at a few features from last week's party? Making a Lather used leftover blocks to make a second quilt,

Vicki's Crafts and Quilting finished up some UFO's,

and Scrapbox Quilts made this adorable turkey just in time for the holidays.

Midweek Makers #405

Welcome to Midweek Makers! I'm back!!!

Now 4 weeks post-surgery, I am feeling pretty good. Being forced to eliminate some daily obligations has allowed me to rest and restore - I'm even getting some quilt creativity back and I can't wait to start cutting and sewing some of the projects I've been designing. It is such a great feeling! 

I even felt well enough to go to PIQF. 

With the help of my wonderful husband and a walker with a seat, we enjoyed a few hours viewing lovely quilts and doing some shopping. I got fabrics to add to the Halloween stash, and some fabrics for an upcoming project.

I'm also back to the Midweek Makers tradition of highlighting a few projects from the previous party. This week, each one features one of my favorite things:

a lovely autumn project from Bastelhexe's Kreative,

a wonderful scrap quilt from With Strings Attached,

and a combo of two of my favorites, pumpkins and cats, from Time 4 Stitchin.

Come join this week's party - would love to see what you're working on!
