November Quilt Studio Update | Quilting, Fabrics & New Projects

There’s quite a bit happening around the quilt room this November! I’ve got quilts in progress, quilts waiting for binding, new fabric collections on the way, and a whole lot of free motion quilting happening.

I thought we’d have a little catch-up and walk through everything I’ve been working on lately. I’ve filmed a new Quilt Studio Update so you can see the quilts, fabrics, and projects for yourself.

Happening Now:


November 6, 2026 – Early January 2027

Quilt it Already!

Free Motion Quilting Inside Quilt It Already!

My newest class, Quilt It Already!, is officially underway, and we’ve been spending lots of time at the quilting machine.

We’re working on my Faefolk quilt and using an all-over quilting plan filled with flowers, swirls, feathers, and other pretty little details. I love how these designs work together to create texture across the quilt.

One of the things I’m hoping to show in this class is that you don’t need an elaborate quilting plan to make something beautiful. Sometimes it’s about choosing a handful of designs you enjoy and learning how to move between them.

And remember, you don’t have to be quilting the same quilt as me. You can pull out one of your own unfinished quilt tops and work right alongside us.

The first chapter of Quilt It Already! is available as a free preview, and the entire class is included with Quilty Club membership.

Lulu Louise Is Finished!

I’ve also wrapped up the Lulu Louise quilting lessons inside Quilty Class.

I ended up quilting two different Lulu Louise quilts, each with its own quilting approach. It’s always interesting to see how much the quilting can change the overall feel of a quilt, even when you’re starting with the same pattern.

Both quilts are now waiting for binding, so they’re not quite finished quilts just yet. But we’re getting close!

You can explore my classes over at Quilty Class, or join Quilty Club to access the class library.

A Giant New Quilt: Lovey-Dovey

There’s also a rather large quilt taking shape on my design wall!

I’ve been working on a new pattern called Lovey-Dovey, and this one is going to be a big quilt, somewhere around 100 inches square.

It’s a scrappy design with a star, and I’ve really been enjoying watching it come together. There’s something especially satisfying about seeing all those different fabrics begin to work together.

It’s still a work in progress, and I’m not quite ready to release the pattern, but I wanted to give you a little peek at what I’ve been creating.

Fabric News: Pretty Please, Garden Therapy & Happy Home

We’ve got several fabric collections to talk about this month, too!

Pretty Please

My Pretty Please collection is getting close to its arrival, and we’re in the final days of early bird preorders.

The early bird deadline is Thursday, November 12. After that, the discounted pricing ends, and the kits and individual yardage preorder options will no longer be available. Bundles will remain available while supplies last.

I also show my Pretty Please Lulu Louise quilt in the video, so you can get a better look at these fabrics sewn into a finished project.

Garden Therapy Is Coming Back!

I’m so happy that Garden Therapy is returning in February 2027!

Early bird preorders are available through the end of January. If you missed this collection the first time around, this is another opportunity to get your hands on it.

In the video, I’m showing my Fenby quilt made with Garden Therapy. It’s one of the samples I still have here in the studio, and I thought it would be fun to pull it out again.

Happy Home Is Here

And if you’re looking for fabric that’s ready to ship, Happy Home has arrived!

This collection includes 18 prints and two coordinating wide backs. It’s such a treat to finally have a collection in the shop after all the planning, designing, and waiting.

A Cyber Monday Giveaway Is Coming!

I’m also planning something fun for Cyber Monday, November 30!

I’ll be giving away some fabric and quilting supplies, and the giveaway will be for my email subscribers.

I’m still putting together the details, but if you’d like to hear about it when everything is announced, make sure you’re signed up for my emails.

What Are You Working On This November?

That’s what’s happening around my quilt room right now! Between quilting classes, new patterns, fabric arrivals, and getting quilts finished, there’s certainly no shortage of things to work on.

I’d love to hear what you’ve got going on in your own sewing space. Are you finishing quilts before the holidays? Starting a new project? Or maybe pulling an older quilt top out of the closet and finally giving it some attention?

Whatever you’re working on, I hope you’re finding a little time to enjoy the process.

I hope you leave here feeling inspired to make something you love and enjoy every little stitch along the way. 💕
