Introducting the Sandy Point Block of the Month! duringquiettime.com/2026/07/keep...
I have designed a new BOM that will be starting September 15th! It's an FPP, accelerated 9 month BOM with a couple blocks per month. More details are on the way! #foundationpaperpiecing #paperpiecedpattern #blockofthemonth #sandypointbom #coastalvibes
Scrap Cat Quilt Pattern in Catmas fabric by Pammie Jane, with newly designed vintage ornament blocks.
Here's a quick tour of my summer gallery display! #modernquilting #art #amyfriendstudio
Scrap Cat enamel pins are in my shop now and turned out so cute!! duringquiettime.etsy.com/listing/4526...
That's a wrap on my second Shuffle Quilt, the two color version. I love the play between positive and negative space. And thank you to my husband for risking the ticks in the tall grass so I could get this photo. #shufflesewalong #twocolorquilt #modernquilt #duringquiettimepattern
I got my Shuffle quilt all basted the other day and am quilting it with a variegated orange/peach thread. #shufflequiltsewalong #paperpiecedquilt #duringquiettimepattern
This week, in the Shuffle Sewalong, we are deciding on layouts and cutting our diagonal strips. I went ahead and sewed my blocks together too! #shufflesewalong #duringquiettimepattern #paperpiecedpattern
My new workshop offering is Scrap Cat Your Way. Check it out on my website and let me know if your guild is interested! duringquiettime.com/teaching-and...
This photo was the initial reason for our trip to the park. The flowering shrubs coordinated with my new quilt perfectly and I wanted to get a picture! My Scrap Cat Quilt Pattern will be ready this coming week! #scrapcatquilt #scrappyquilt #stashfriendlypattern #logcabinquilt
Here's another picture from our state park photoshoot. I don't like being in front of the camera but love the setting of this photo! The quilt is Eye of the Storm, finished a couple of months ago. #eyeofthestormquilt #modernquilt #largescalepaperpiecing #fpp
This is the last week of triangle making for the Shuffle Sewalong! #shufflesewalong #duringquiettimepattern #paperpiecedpattern
Yesterday, my son and I took some of my quilts to the local state park for photos. I love this one. You can even see the ants on the peony. The quilt in the background is Protecting my Peace. I finished it in April. #protectingmypeacequilt #modernquilt
I think that chambray and neon pink Aurifil are a great combination! #scrapcatquilt #domesticmachinequilting
Scrap Cat will be released soon along with a new workshop based on (and expanding on) the pattern. I am planning on neon/hot pink thread for quilting. I used a chambray background fabric by Moda. The rest are scraps!
My Week 15 Shuffle Sewalong newsletter failed to send! I just sent it out now, sorry for the few hour delay. We are nearly there! It's time to start settling on the layout! #shufflesewalong #duringquiettimepattern #paperpiecedpattern #modernquilt
How is it Friday again?? Here is a progress shot of my Shuffle Sewalong quilt, week 13. #shufflesewalong #duringquiettimepattern #paperpiecing #modernquilt
Quilts hanging in my gallery this spring: Colorfall, Fill Your Cup, Bibliography, Selvage Whirlwind, Avocado Toast, and Negativity.
Week 12-Shuffle Sewalong Things are coming together at this point in the sewalong! #shufflesewalong #duringquiettimepattern #paperpieced pattern
Moving right along to Week 11 in the Shuffle Sewalong! You can still join! You will receive all the information needed to catch up, or sew at your own pace. duringquiettime.myflodesk.com/shuffle #shufflesewalong #foundationpaperpiecing #duringquiettimepattern #modernquilt
I continued to explore spiraling circular forms in this new design. I see the small, light pink/peach circle as being protected among the swirl of the other colors which is why I named it Protecting My Peace. #protectingmypeacequilt #modernquilt #matchstickquilting #foundationpaperpiecing
I am also bringing back the Petal + Stem swap! Sign up dates are short in order to fit it in before summer! The sign ups and information are on my website. #petalandstembook #duringquiettimepattern #flowerquiltblocks
I'm squeezing in one last TMAS block swap before summer so the sign up period is short. Be sure to share with friends so they don't miss it. Let's celebrate Artemis II with a Space theme! Sign ups are on my website. #tellmeastoryblockswap #intentionalpiecingbook #fussycutting
It's now Week 10 for the Shuffle Sewalong. Isn't it fun to see the shapes created by joining the various triangles? #shufflesewalong #duringquiettimepattern #paperpiecedpattern #modernquilt
My new watering can pattern also comes with the template necessary to make it a standard watering can in case the whimsy of the cottage watering can isn't for you! #fpp #duringquiettimepattern #wateringcanpattern #flowerquiltblock #midnightgardenquilt duringquiettime.com/product/cott...
What do you think? Does your garden need a Cottage Watering Can? The fussy cutting options are endless! This pattern will be in my shop tomorrow. I am just working on the listings! #intentionalpiecing #fussycutting #cottagewateringcan #paperpiecing #duringquiettimepattern
