I've been working on this Folk Sampler for over a year. It was a 2024 block a week sampler from Art East Quilting.

So relieved to have the blocks come together. I've never had a project like this before. It was a challenge - but we got there!!

I never thought I'd get the urge to make a quilt full of tiny stars.
And here we are.

This one finishes at 2" squared
In my favorite color 🤗

Finished hand binding this quilt! I think it's about my 5th ever hand bound quilt in 15 years. I really enjoyed the process & having something to do while we were at breweries.

Maybe it's a new hobby?? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Pattern is Disco Stars by Modernly Morgan

My first backpack!

I used the Violet Backpack pattern by Knot + Thread but altered the front pocket. I wanted to keep the star intact.

Can't wait to bring it to #QuiltCon2025

THRILLED with how this bag came together. I pieced together the quilt & densely quilted it with a 1" grid.

All cut up into this duffle bag of my dreams. 😍😍

Ready for #Quiltcon2025 travels

Working on a backpack. So thrilled with the front zipper pocket!!

Huge thanks to sewing friend for helping me figure it out. Aren't sewing friends the best?!

The strap arrived for a Duffle Bag I'm working on. It's the perfect color!!
It's sitting on top of the lining. I couldn't pick a single print - so why not do them all 😄
