Silver King PDF Quilt Pattern
Silver King PDF Quilt Pattern Today we are excited to release our first pattern of 2023 and it is our Silver King PDF Quilt Pattern! The pattern is based on a traditional King's Court Quilt Block but was given it's name from where this quilt was photographed...just outside an old mine...the Silver King Mine.

UFO to TFO: Pre-Cut Civil War Reproductions Quilt
UFO to TFO: Pre-Cut Civil War Reproductions Quilt Today I'm happy to share another UFO (UnFinished Object) that has turned into a TFO (Totally Finished Object).

The Lucky Star Quilt Pattern
The Lucky Star Quilt Pattern The Lucky Star Quilt Pattern has been a long time in the making. It started out as a how-to years ago...then a tutorial several years after that...then a pattern for the Mod Bee last year...and finally, today, a PDF pattern available HERE in our shop. I have made several versions of this quilt....all with different types of solids. But this version is by far my favorite. Last summer, as we were cleaning out one of my grandma's storage units, ...
