Here’s to the Stars and Stripes! 🇺🇸Happy Flag Day, friends!🇺🇸 Looking for a quick patriotic quilt pattern? Liberty Belle is available in my Etsy shop!

Texture for days. 😍 I picked up my ⛪️ Firm Foundation quilt from the quilter @jackiesmachinequilting last week and I am in loooove with the gorgeous quilting that she did on it! I believe this panto is called “Playful Roses” (but don’t quote me on that) and it’s her own design. This means I am one step closer to having a pattern ready for y’all! Thanks for your patience as I work on this pattern in the midst of a lot of other fast-approaching deadlines and general life “stuff,” which all seem to be converging on the month of June. (It’s all good stuff, at least!) Hope you’re having a lovely weekend, friends! ❤️ #mywanderingpath #mywanderingpathdesigns #firmfoundationquilt #modafabrics #showmethemoda #madewithmoda #songbookfabric #modasongbook #fancythatmoda #quiltblock #quilt #quilting #quiltersofinstagram #quiltersgonnaquilt #quiltingmakesmehappy #creativelife #quiltpatterndesign #eq8 #doyoueq

Lots of pretty block pieces on my sewing table today! I’m working on my first 4 blocks for the #swoonforjardin QAL.

Back in December, I posted a pic of a beautiful stack of reproduction red & green fabrics. Well, I have finally starched and cut into that lovely stack and I have to say, I am having so much fun stitching up these blocks! Making a reproduction-inspired Christmas quilt has been on my bucket list for a while, so it feels good to get this particular project under way. What are you sewing today? #mywanderingpath #christmasfabric #christmasquilt #civilwarfabric #reproductionfabric #modafabrics #showmethemoda #andoverfabrics #marcusfabrics #henryglassfabrics #quiltersofinstagram #quiltersgonnaquilt #quiltingmakesmehappy #fabricmakesmehappy #quiltingfabric

Happy Saturday, friends! The start to our long-awa

Happy Saturday, friends! The start to our long-awaited and much-anticipated French General Swoon 16 quilt-along is just around the corner, so I’m sharing the fabric requirements on my blog today. We are following the @thimbleblossoms Swoon 16 pattern, but instead of using a 3rd print in each block for the outer star points, we’re using one of three solids in the Jardin de Fleurs collection (red, soft blue, or taupe). My blog post lists exactly which prints we’re using for the blocks, sashing, and binding. I’ve also had some questions about which fabrics I’ve paired for each block, so I have that info for you too! Swipe to see the fabric pairing or head to my blog for a larger picture and more details! I hope you’re getting excited to start sewing along with me and @frenchgeneral! #swoonforjardin #jardindefleursfabrics #frenchgeneral #frenchgeneralfabrics #modafabrics #showmethemoda #madewithmoda #swoon16 #swoon16quilt #thimbleblossoms #quilting #quilt #quiltalong #quiltblock #quiltersofinstagram #quiltersgonnaquilt

This weekend I spent some time finishing up my #FirmFoundationQuilt blocks, which feature the panels from Songbook, @fancythatdesignhouse ‘s debut collection for @modafabrics. I love how this quilt is coming together, y’all! And I am so close to having it finished—I just lack the sashings, but I need more starch first. I can make do with unstarched fabric for an outer border, but sashings must be starched!! 😂 Anyway, once I get the quilt finished up, I’ll get cracking on the pattern—the goal is to have it ready when Songbook hits the stores, which isn’t too much longer now! #mywanderingpath #mywanderingpathdesigns #firmfoundationquilt #modafabrics #showmethemoda #songbookfabric #modasongbook #fancythatmoda #quiltblock #quilt #quilting #quiltersofinstagram #quiltersgonnaquilt #quiltingmakesmehappy #creativelife #quiltpatterndesign #eq8 #doyoueq

I can’t wait to show y’all the full reveal of this quilt top! ⭐️🍁❤️ But I have to wait until Friday, so here’s one last sneak peek before my official turn on the project tour with @rileyblakedesigns. Ok, I have to tell y’all the story of my quest to name this quilt pattern. At first, I called it Harvest Stars, but a little research turned up more than one existing pattern with that name. So then I thought about Gathering Stars...also taken. How about Falling Stars? (I really really liked that one.)...taken. Autumn Stars...you guessed it, taken. I was about at the point of calling it “The Pattern That Must Not Be Named,” but then I tried Bountiful Stars and that didn’t turn up any results, so Bountiful Stars it is! 😊 If there’s an existing pattern called Bountiful Stars, I don’t want to know! 😂 (Just kidding. Please tell me if there is!) Y’all stop back by on Friday for the full reveal of Bountiful Stars and an update on when the pattern will be ready! #mywanderingpath #mywanderingpathdesigns #bountifulstarsquilt #rileyblakedesigns #rileyblake #rbdfabric #iloverileyblake #bountifulautumnfabric @buttermilkbasic #buttermilkbasin #autumnfabric #autumnquilt #fallquilt #reproductionfabrics #quiltersofinstagram #quiltsofinstagram #quiltersgonnaquilt

👋🏻 Hey friends and happy Fri-yay! 🎉 I’ve been quiet on IG but sewing my little heart out behind the scenes. Here’s another peek at the quilt I’m working on using @buttermilkbasin ‘s Bountiful Autumn collection. 🍁❤️Stay tuned for the full reveal on the @rileyblakedesigns project tour, coming soon! #mywanderingpath #mywanderingpathdesigns #bountifulstarsquilt #rileyblakedesigns #rileyblake #rbdfabric #iloverileyblake #bountifulautumnfabric #buttermilkbasin #autumnfabric #autumnquilt #fallquilt #reproductionfabrics #quiltersofinstagram #quiltsofinstagram #quiltersgonnaquilt

Dispatches from the couch: Y’ALL. I got my secon

Dispatches from the couch: Y’ALL. I got my second Moderna shot yesterday and overnight I was soooo sick. I mean, like, SO sick, sicker than I have been in years. It was rough. And I’m still not feeling well today so I am parked on the couch to rest. So since I can’t do any sewing today, I thought I’d share a pic of a new project I’m working on—the one our sweet chocolate lab decided to photobomb the other day. 😂 I’m really excited to be working with these beautiful Bountiful Autumn fabrics by @buttermilkbasin for @rileyblakedesigns! I’m trying to think...I don’t recall using much black fabric in any of my other quilts, but these rich, deep charcoal and black prints will play a prominent role in the finished design and I can’t wait to see how it turns out! I’ll share more progress pics along the way, and the full reveal (and hopefully pattern drop) will happen May 14. I hope you’re having a great day wherever you are...and it goes without saying, one rough night is still better than getting Covid, so be sure to get the vaccine!! 😘❤️ #mywanderingpath #mywanderingpathdesigns #bountifulstarsquilt #rileyblakedesigns #rileyblake #rbdfabric #iloverileyblake #bountifulautumnfabric #buttermilkbasin #autumnfabric #autumnquilt #fallquilt #reproductionfabrics #quiltersofinstagram #quiltsofinstagram #quiltersgonnaquilt

Well, I wanted to show y’all a sneak peek at what I’m making with @buttermilkbasin ‘s new Bountiful Autumn collection, but Morny had other ideas. 😂 Just kidding—I snapped a couple of good pics before she got all comfy on my blocks, and I’ll share those with you soon. Here’s a hint: It’s going to be another new pattern! 🍁⭐️ #mywanderingpath #mywanderingpathdesigns #bountifulstarsquilt @rileyblakedesigns #rileyblakedesigns #rileyblake #rbdfabric #iloverileyblake #bountifulautumnfabric #buttermilkbasin #quiltersofinstagram #quiltsofinstagram #quiltersgonnaquilt

Stars & stripes 😁 on a Sunday, and a little sneak peek at what I’ve been doing with all the @minickandsimpson fabrics I’ve been collecting lately—including those Belle Isle prints I showed the other day. (I mean, why use one collection when you can use three or four, right?). I wish I could show y’all more right now, but I have to wait just a little while longer. Hope you’re having a great weekend, friends! ❤️ #mywanderingpath @modafabrics #showmethemoda #modafabrics #minickandsimpson #belleislefabric #quiltblock #starblock #patchwork #patrioticquilt #quiltersofinstagram #quiltersgonnaquilt #quiltingmakesmehappy #quiltingfabric #patrioticfabric #fabricaddict #fabricpull #creativelifehappylife

Some of my favorite prints from @minickandsimpson ‘s upcoming Belle Isle collection. 😍 Y’all, this collection is a must-have. That floral! 😍 And the pinks are so pretty too. I really love this trend of pink in M&S collections. I’ll share a little sneak peek of what I’m working on soon, but the full reveal will have to wait awhile. #mywanderingpath #showmethemoda #modafabrics #minickandsimpson #belleislefabric #quiltersofinstagram #quiltersgonnaquilt #quiltingmakesmehappy #quiltingfabric #patrioticfabric #fabricaddict #fabricpull
