Quilters' Treasure Chest

02/14/2026

To my customers and friends, I want to wish you a very Happy Valentine's Day! Each of you are special to me and I'm so grateful to have you in my life! Together we make the world better, one stitch at a time! Happy quilting!

Many beautiful quilts were made during my last cruise on the Icon of the Seas! The weather wasn't the best but what does that matter when you have an amazing group of quilters onboard! I taught my Azina quilt while my fellow instructor taught Rosie's Quilt. I was very impressed by all who came and worked on these quilts! Many wonderful friendships were formed that without a doubt will last a lifetime! A huge thank you to all who shared a wonderful week with us! Who is ready for another adventure? Send me a pm if you would like to know what is coming up!

Wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year!

Sometimes we as quilters are too busy to make other things "right". My thing today was: I wanted to make some delicious, Finnish, joulutorttu. But, I really didn't have much time to make them. So my shortcut to get them made was that they don't look like the traditional joulutorttu, but they taste just the same.

Anyone else? Where have you taken shortcuts lately to make time for quilting?

I don't know if you had a chance to participate on the Autumn Twilight Blog Hop yet, but I need to tell you, I was completely blown away by the talent that these designers possess! All the quilts were stunning, yet somehow, they were all so very different. I highly recommend you check the blogs out if you haven't done so yet! A huge thank you to all the designers who participated as well as all who hopped around!

I can't believe all the creativity that the designers on Autumn Twilight Blog Hop for Island Batik have come up with! Today is Toni's turn and you need to see her beautiful quilt!

It’s 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟓 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐦𝐧 𝐓𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐠 𝐇𝐨𝐩, and I’m thrilled to be today’s 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫! This new fabric line by 𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐣𝐚 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐚 of 𝐐𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬’ 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭 has been such a joy to work with.

In fact, it was the 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 I needed to bring the 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝟖𝐬 project to life—an expanded version of my original 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐦 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐀𝐫𝐞 pattern. The rich tones, fall motifs, and subtle spirals in this collection helped spark a fresh wave of creativity!

✨ 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐏𝐢𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:

💬 Don’t forget—each day this week featured a new quilt and a new quilter, and every single one was packed with 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫, 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲, and 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥-𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐲. If you missed any of the blog hop stops, take a moment this weekend to visit them and soak in all the inspiration!
