I'm so excited to share a new quilt pattern with you today!  I designed a new quilt pattern especially to showcase the line Feed Sacks: True Blue by Linzee Kull McCray for Moda Fabrics.  I loved this line so much and I really wanted to showcase the beautiful fabrics with larger squares so they really shined.   What first drew me to this line is the tag line for it.  It reads, " Imagine growing your own vegetables and canning them, cleaning and cooking without modern appliances, and sewing clothes for your seven children. Feed Sacks: True Blue pays homage to the women who did all that and still took the time to stitch rickrack on a dishtowel, embroider a sweet bunny on the bodice of a baby’s romper, and use up every last scrap to create a quilt of warmth and beauty."  It really inspires me 💙💙💙 I do think this pattern would look beautiful with any fabric!  I want to make a few more in different lines.  It is especially great to showcase ...

Last week I was back in the  Moda Bake Shop  with a new tutorial for my Sweet Diamonds Baby Quilt ! I had so much fun designing this quilt!  I love making baby quilts and this one was no different.  For this quilt I used Home Sweet Home by Stacy Iest Hsu.  This line is so adorable! In my post, I give fabric requirements for making one baby quilt, two at a time baby quilts, three at a time baby quilts, and a larger throw size!  This pattern works up in no time and is so fun to make.  I'm definitely planning on making the larger throw size soon! Head on over to  Moda Bake Shop  to get the free tutorial!  Remember, I'd love to see your versions of Sweet Diamonds! Tag me on Instagram  @skeinandhook  and tag your project as #sweetdiamondsquilt or send me an email!  Enjoy the pattern!

I've recently become a Chef at Moda Bake Shop and I'm having so much fun!  My first design was this block in their Countdown to Christmas.  My next design, that was shared on their blog last week, is my All Squares Quilt . I absolutely adore this quilt and the potential for versatility.  I used Farmhouse Reds by Minnick & Simpson.  I love this collection...the reds and whites are amazing.  But here are so many possibilities for this quilt...since the larger squares are 8", you can really show off large fabric designs if you'd like and do low volumes for the smaller squares. Here are some more pictures... Head over to Moda Bake Shop for the tutorial .  Enjoy!
