I think I might’ve forgotten to show you this ve I think I might’ve forgotten to show you this version of Dilly Dally.The top is finished, just waiting to be quilted. This one is made entirely with Tiny Terrazzo, and I love how soft and playful it turned out. 💗If you want to make one too, we currently have kits.
This has been years in the making, and it’s fina This has been years in the making, and it’s finally here. 💛The Dilly Dally Quilt Book is finished and officially released. 99 pages, countless stitches, and three years of dreaming, designing, and slowly bringing it to life.This book holds so much of my heart.You can grab a spiral-bound copy that lays flat while you sew, or get the PDF and dive in right away.And as a little celebration, Dilly Dally and all patterns are on sale through Sunday.Thank you for being part of this journey with me. #southerncharmquilts #dillydallyquilt

Okay, so I’m over here drawing socks and florals Okay, so I’m over here drawing socks and florals and giggling the whole time. Because why do these two things look so dang cute together?! It’s got me in a cozy kind of mood. What’s something that instantly makes you think of snuggling? Tell me in the comments! I've already thought of cats, cups of tea and coffee, and sweaters.
💜 Wholehearted is almost gone again… This Tu 💜 Wholehearted is almost gone again…This Tuesday is the final day to pre-order this sweet, soulful fabric collection. These prints are full of lavenders and violets, golden browns and peaches. Soft, vintage-y, and endlessly cozy.Swipe through to see how beautifully it shines in Inner Beauty and Hello Posy. These quilts feel like home to me. I’ve used this fabric line in so many makes over the years, and it still tugs at me every time I pull it out.If you’ve been waiting to grab some, now’s the time.

This room isn’t polished, it’s not picture-per This room isn’t polished, it’s not picture-perfect. But it’s where I find calm, color, and creativity, and I’m grateful for every inch of it. ❤️ Just ignore the Barbie head Wade snuck in to creep me out 💀, all the cords snaking across the floor, and pretend you can’t hear the cringey audiobook I swear I didn’t know was that spicy. 😂It’s a little chaotic, but it’s mine, and that makes it feel just right. Beautiful pieces don’t require beautiful spaces, just a place where you feel free to make.
Pincushions are happening, and they’re happening Pincushions are happening, and they’re happening fast! 😍The Quilt-As-You-Go Pincushion class is in full swing, and we’ve just added the Quilt-As-You-Go Piecing lessons.These scrappy little makes are so much fun, and honestly, kind of addictive in the best way.
