Happy national dog day to those who celebrate.

Here are my three.

1) Ember on my Pine Boughs quilt (pattern available on my website) made from Northern Brights by Amarilys Henderson for Moda Fabrics United Notions | Top fabric & notions distributor .

2) Sunny on my 2025 sweater weather sampler quilt (pattern by the Nine Patch collective, blocks available from individual designers) made with Art Gallery Fabrics® - AGF wildflower wovens

3) Ella on a rug. Because Ella is weird and would rather lay on a hard surface than something soft (but we love her anyway).

4) All three of the four legged children begging me to be done with work for the day.

With sweater weather 2026 upon us,it's time for me to finally share my sweater weather 2025.

Unfortunately my pups will not allow me to take a photo uninterrupted. I'll try again later...

I like the dark background and this year I'm going green. Swipe to see...what do you think?

Traveling for work. Why wouldn't I bring a quilt?

It's time for my pine Boughs sample made with Moda Fabrics United Notions | Top fabric & notions distributor Northern Brights by Amarilys Henderson to get broken in.

So here's to a few nights back in my old stomping ground with a bit of comfort.

Did you see the Art Gallery fabrics lookbook for Christmas in Color last week?

It's chock full of the most beautiful quilts and projects, including my Northern Passage quilt!

Fat quarters make the blocks, so mix and match to make it your own. Yardage for the background and sashing coordinates complete the look.

Ready for your own? Grab your pattern from my website (www.duenorthhandmade.com) or ask your favorite quilt shop!

Christmas in Color by Art Gallery Fabrics® - AGF is everything I love in a Christmas fabric collection. Pinks and teals and minty blues make it perfectly sweet. This collection was a major inspiration for my Northern Passage quilt pattern. The larger pieces give you plenty of space to show off the large scale prints.

This version was pieced by me and quilted and bound by Lilo Whitener-Fey, Quilter. And I'll tell you a secret - since I was in the middle of moving, it was sent directly to AGF and I haven't seen the finished thing in person yet 😂. I can't wait to see it in person!

You can get the pattern digitally from my website (and only my website!), or order the paper pattern from your favorite quilt shop.

Auditioning colors for a project.

Love these ★ RUBY STAR SOCIETY ★ swatch cards from Trace Creek Quilting. After I settled on my colors, I just take the ones I need to buy with me to the shop to find the right match!
