Did you know that the Stargrove pattern has three completely different versions available inside? Buy one pattern and get THREE completely different looks!

1. Single Background
2. Color Block
3. Mix and Match

It’s so hard for me to choose a favorite because I love all 3 versions! Which one would you make with the Stargrove pattern?

•Cover quilt quilted by @randallquilting
•Mix and match quilt 1 made and quilted by @itoldyousew and mix and match quilt 2 made by me and quilted by @sewmanyquiltstx
•Color block quilts by @a_stitch_is_a_stitch and @vpkcreates
•Blue single background quilt by @gatesmountainquilter

🫶🏼 Thank you for the encouragement and support for sharing a small piece of my story this past week as we made our Ascend blocks. The internet is a funny place and sometimes it’s hard to know when to be vulnerable and when to keep things to yourself. Y’all have shown me such kindness for sharing snippets of my story/journey. Thank you for that.

🏔️ It’s been a fun week seeing so many Ascend blocks from around the globe! Even if you’re sewing outside of the sampler timeline, tag me in your posts when you finish your blocks. I love seeing them!

⛺️ Next up in the Sweater Weather Sampler, we are going camping! We can’t wait to see you create your own little Rustic Retreat with Rachel of Sew Joyful Studio! This team of designers constantly blows my mind with unique ideas and Rachel’s made me oooh and ahhh at her genius construction. I can’t wait to see your blocks!

The Nine Patch Quilt Collective is a group of designer friends turned business partners who come together each year to design a Fall quilt sampler.

There are moments in time I wish I could bottle up so that I could take a sip of past grit, strength, and the absolute peace found in the beauty of nature. My Ascend block for the Sweater Weather Sampler is a reminder that we can do hard things … all of us. And what’s hard for one might not be hard for others but we ALL have our own difficulties to face.

My husband and I still daydream about completing the entire AT (Appalachian Trail) at some point in our lives. I usually choose this AT coffee mug when I find myself daydreaming about being on a trail somewhere, like this Alum Cave trail to Mt. LeConte. It’s good to dream and set big scary goals for yourself. It’s good to find that balance between grit and grace. Don’t let your brain trick you into thinking you can’t overcome hard things … you can indeed overcome hard things.

I don’t know what you’re facing today, but I’m rooting for you!

Block: Ascend, part of the Sweater Weather Sampler, by me

Fabrics: @artgalleryfabrics Pure Solids —> Balsam Fir, Spruce, Haze, Sugar Plum, Latte and Crème de la Crème

What a JOY it is to see so many Ascend blocks being made around the globe. Your stories of both heartache and triumph produce enough encouragement to fuel an entire freight train from coast to coast! Thank you for celebrating the journey of life with me!!!

Did you know the prizes for this week were graciously donated by both @modafabrics and @downtowndrygoods? There’s also an international prize donated by me 🫎

Moda has kindly donated a beautiful Jelly Roll filled with the joy of the holidays! The Berry and Pine collection by @lellaboutique is so dang cute and it will arrive just in time for your Christmas sewing projects!

Ginger at Downtown Dry Goods is always the first to offer an incredible prize and this year is no different. She has donated a $100 gift card that can be used either in person or online! 😳 🎉

🩷 If I could put my entire business on hold for a few weeks I would make a Star of Wonder king sized quilt for our bed. I’ve made approximately 7 quilts from this pattern since I released it but I still can’t get enough of it! I even find myself playing with color placement on @quilt_ink because I’m aching to make another one.

🧡 Which quilt pattern would you make again if you had all the time in the world? Tag the designer in the comments!

💛 all fabrics in this version are from @artgalleryfabrics, quilted by @sewmanyquiltstx using the Surf Diamond panto

🏔️ It’s week 7 of the Sweater Weather Sampler and this week you get to hear a teensy bit of my story. Check your email from the Nine Patch Quilt Collective for a link to my YouTube video. You’ll get to see more of this magic place and hear why it’s so special to me.

My Ascend block is a reminder of the peaks and the valleys of life. It’s a reminder that life is fragile and that there is much for which I am grateful. If you’re in a valley … I see you. 🥰 And if you’re celebrating your own comeback story, I celebrate with you! 🙌🏼

To say I’m eager to see your mountain blocks is a magnanimous understatement! Let’s go to the mountains, friends!

Did you know you get all 9 quilt block patterns with your Sweater Weather Sampler registration fee? This bundled deal is only good during the length of the sampler. Afterward, each pattern will be available for sale individually but you will no longer be able to buy them in a bundle. And you can still register!!! Visit the Instagram bio of any of the nine designers to get the registration link!

Week 5 of the Sweater Weather Sampler is already coming to a close and I can’t believe how fast it’s going by this year!

🙋🏼‍♀️ Raise your hand if you learned something new about the conifer Heather chose to depict in her clever block design this year. I certainly did! I had never even heard of a Larch before she told us about them several months ago. Who knew you could learn about the world WHILE quilting?!?!

Your Larches blocks have been beautiful in our feed and in our Facebook group. We absolutely adore the kindness and encouragement you’re all showing/giving to each other. This community is so unique and special; thank you for being part of it with us!

The Nine Patch Quilt Collective loves you!

🩷 This was only the second time I have been to Quilt market in Houston, but it was filled with so many lovely conversations, meals with incredibly talented people, an invitation to a gathering of industry icons to celebrate 50 years of Moda, and late night conversations with the best roommate a girl could ask for. I connected with the people I hoped to but then was blessed with numerous interactions I never expected to have. My heart is so full and the future of Crafty Moose Quilts is filled with opportunities to grow and expand.

💛 It felt nearly impossible to get away for market for an extended weekend, but with the encouragement of Kate @duenorthhandmade I ended up going, and I will never regret it!

❤️ In every industry, there will always be people who disappoint you, rub you the wrong way, or leave you wondering “what the heck just happened?!?!” But I have to say my interactions in the quilting industry have been mostly filled with authenticity, honesty, legitimate encouragement, truths that are intended to help me grow, and sharing amongst small business owners to keep our industry alive and thriving.

Sure, market was smaller this year but the industry magic still had a steady heartbeat at the show and it filled my heart with renewed determination 💓

Grateful for all of these people:

I connected with the people I hoped to but then was blessed with numerous interactions I never expected to have. My heart is so full and the future of Crafty Moose Quilts is filled with opportunities to grow and expand.

💛 It felt nearly impossible to get away for market for an extended weekend, but with the encouragement of Kate @duenorthhandmade I ended up going, and I will never regret it!

❤️ In every industry, there will always be people who disappoint you, rub you the wrong way, or leave you wondering “what the heck just happened?!?!” But I have to say my interactions in the quilting industry have been mostly filled with authenticity, honesty, legitimate encouragement, truths that are intended to help me grow, and sharing amongst small business owners to keep our industry alive and thriving.

Sure, market was smaller this year but the industry magic still had a steady heartbeat at the show and it filled my heart with renewed determination 💓

Grateful for all of these people:

If you haven’t met Barbie Mills of @thequiltingmill you’re missing out. She has an impressive collection of pantographs she has designed for longarm quilting and I cannot get enough of her work. I’ve used her pantos multiple times on some of my favorite quilts!

Barbie is kind, business savvy, and extremely talented. What a gift it has been to be her roommate this weekend at @quiltmarket! I love to see her shine and wow companies with her impressive portfolio!

The next time you need a panto for your quilt, consider checking out her designs. If you’re a longarm quilter, check out her membership program so you can get FREE designs!

Quilts shown:

2024 Sweater Weather Sampler quilted by @sarahhuechteman using Barbie’s Twinkle Plaid panto which is my FAVORITE!

You know how much I love saturated colors - Amarylis nailed this collection!

🇦🇺 Where are all the scrappy quilt lovers? This is a must see by Victoria of @vpkcreates in Australia!

Victoria has a knack for pulling together beautiful fabrics and in this case she used prints by @prettyplease.mx from her Wandering collection. I am so in love with her version of my Oh Ryan pattern! My eye wanders just like the fabric collection suggests.

Victoria helped me problem solve the fat quarter version of this pattern. She’s an incredible pattern tester who not only makes beautiful things but also gives such helpful feedback! She makes my patterns the best they can be so that obstacles are removed when you buy my patterns.

I’m so thankful for her! One day we will meet in person, I just know it!

I had the opportunity to work alongside Amarylis of @watercolordevo to make something from her completely unique and beautiful water color collection for @modafabrics. The colors in these fabrics drew me right in with their brightness and boldness! Her art is simply incredible!

She has been showing some behind the scenes of how she created the pieces for this collection on Instagram. You should definitely go check that out.

Amarylis will have multiple things on display in her Moda booth at Quilt Market and I can’t wait to see all the beautiful things!

Are you headed to Quilt Market?

The Sparkle Blossom version of my Star of Wonder pattern has been selling like hotcakes lately and I FINALLY had the opportunity to make one for myself. And I’m so glad I did because I’m so in love with this quilt!

It has several of my favorite colors paired together - and - it recently went on a 12 mile trek with me to the top of a mountain which happens to be a very special place for me and my husband. 🩷🧡💛

Kits are available on my website for this version of Star of Wonder curated with @artgalleryfabrics And more backing fabric is on its way! As always, pre-orders are filled first before I list inventory on my website. So if you want to be certain you get a kit, go ahead and pre-order today!

🫖 Anyone care for a spot of tea? This tea kettle by Tamara of @remivailstudio is so much fun to piece together. It’s such a clever and unique design, bringing joy and coziness to the Sweater Weather Sampler. The pattern just released today to those who are registered for the sampler and they are chomping at the biscuit to get started!

My high school geometry teacher used to sing “tea for two and two for tea” and it’s the only song I wanted to pair with this adorable block! Shout out to Mr. A!

If we only surrounded ourselves with people who are exactly like us, life would be so boring. Dana is the yin to my yang, the black to my white, the hot to my cold. She’s the “this will quilt out” to my “oh no! My points don’t match!” She reminds me to run with it instead of getting caught up in too many details. But Dana is ALSO the queen of clarity. When we get off track she’s the champion of clear and concise direction.

When it comes to design, Dana and I couldn’t have brains more differently built. I absolutely love how she continually pushes me outside of my comfort zone and says “trust the process.”

Her Forest Prism block is absolutely brilliant. When I first “read” through her pattern — AKA looked at each diagram for us visual learners — I was completely WOWED and couldn’t wait to make her block.

Oh how I hope you’re joining us for this year’s sampler! It’s a GOOD one. Visit the link in any of our Instagram bios to register ASAP!!!

Pretty sure I have earned my “hiking for quilt photos” badge multiple times… But I definitely earned it again today!

Have you heard about Quilt Scouts? It’s an incredible program that helps keep you connected to and engaged with makers around the globe without all the hubbub of social media.

Each month there is a new project, a new badge, and a new opportunity to learn something. You can actually try it out for free! Go to the website for @quilt_scouts and click on “join.” Then select the FREE 7 day trial!

The scouts in the Circle app are a blast and busy chattering about all kinds of quilty things so make sure you download the app to truly try out Quilt Scouts through and through. Tell Megan I said hi! (She’s your Troop Leader 😉)

Having supportive people in my life isn’t the only reason I’ve been successful but it’s definitely a BIG part of the secret formula.

This guy right here has believed in me and supported me since day 1 of Crafty Moose Quilts. There has been minimal grumbling from him - ok if we are going to be honest, there’s some grumbling when it’s 100 degrees outside and I need some quilt pictures 🔥🤣 but “sweatography” aside, he’s been all in with me!

Neither of us imagined quilting would be part of my story, and now I can’t imagine my life without it - or without him.

This Stargrove quilt is a family favorite and was made using the Fat Quarter mix and match version. All you need is a stack of light colored fat quarters and a stack of darker colored fat quarters that contrast with your light stack and you’re READY to make this quilt!

The Oh Ryan pattern includes 3 project sizes: Lap, Throw and Bed as well as 3 different color options:

1. From yardage (like the cover)
2. Semi-Scrappy (a mix of yardage and FQs)
3. Scrappy (FQ version)

Two different blocks are alternated throughout the quilt. The unexpected secondary designs keep your eye moving like a game of hidden treasure!

Want to play with colors before you cut into your fabrics? I have all 3 versions and sizes loaded on @quilt_ink and the fabrics from my cover quilt are loaded in my Quilt Ink palette in the drop down menu.

Like what you see on the cover? I have kits available in my shop with these beautiful fabrics by @maureencracknell from her Marigold collections for @artgalleryfabrics.

“I love using my scraps but I also love a cohesive look.” <— is that you? Let me tell you who you should be following on Instagram: @itoldyousew has an incredible talent for making gorgeous quilts from fabrics she already has on hand, and she makes it all come together beautifully.

After I saw what Jenn was working on for her pattern test of my Oh Ryan quilt, I went back to the drawing board. I wanted to be sure to include directions for the semi-scrappy look that she was achieving in her quilt because I absolutely love the way it looks!

The whole reason I utilize pattern testers is because I truly value their input, insight, and creativity while they are testing my directions, math and diagrams. This version of my Oh Ryan pattern is the perfect example of how much value pattern testers bring to patterns.

Jenn is an absolute joy. I mean that! Even while she is facing difficult things in her own life, it seems she is constantly encouraging me. I cherish her friendship for 100 different reasons. 🩷🧡💛

🎃 It’s week 2 of the Sweater Weather Sampler and Abby of @abbymaed is showcasing her signature look of modern simplicity in the cutest and perfectly plaid pumpkin. Her block is really fun to make and as always her directions are clear, concise and easy to follow. Abby is a pro at pattern writing - AND at fabric design! Her first collab collection just released from @artgalleryfabrics 🎉

I’m using the Cozy Cottage quilt kit that I curated for this sampler and it’s my first time to use several of these AGF Pure Solids colors. Good heavens they are beautiful!

This kit keeps selling out but I currently have yardage in stock ready for cutting and shipping thanks to to huge FedEx deliver this weekend. 📦

It’s not too late to sign up for the Sampler. You can find the registration link in my Instagram bio, or in the bios of any of the designers.

Her block is really fun to make and as always her directions are clear, concise and easy to follow. Abby is a pro at pattern writing - AND at fabric design! Her first collab collection just released from @artgalleryfabrics 🎉

I’m using the Cozy Cottage quilt kit that I curated for this sampler and it’s my first time to use several of these AGF Pure Solids colors. Good heavens they are beautiful!

This kit keeps selling out but I currently have yardage in stock ready for cutting and shipping thanks to to huge FedEx deliver this weekend. 📦

It’s not too late to sign up for the Sampler. You can find the registration link in my Instagram bio, or in the bios of any of the designers.

🇦🇺 International friendships were not on my bingo card when I started designing quilt patterns but I’ve been blessed to meet and build a friendship with Victoria all the way around the globe. I’m in Dallas, TX and she’s in Australia!

Victoria is not only joyful and talented but she is gifted at putting her own spin on things which I encourage and applaud. She took the Hey Betty Boo table runner and turned the blocks so she could have a big, bold and fun wall hanging to decorate for Halloween. Also, can we just stop and admire that binding?!?!

The Hey Betty Boo pattern has loads of options … a single block, a table runner (or wall hanging 😉) a small throw or a large throw. All the blocks are the same size so you can mix and match to your heart’s content to create what makes you happy!

WHOLESALE: Pattern books available for wholesale purchasing on my website under the SHOP tab.

SINGLE COPIES: This pattern is available for purchase in both a PDF format and individual pattern books.

When another quilt pattern designer (and fabric designer) offers to test one of your patterns … say yes! Meet Becca of @becca.plymale.creative she is kind, humble, and oh so talented. She used fabrics from her Art Gallery Fabrics Love Letters collection in the sweetest little Oh Ryan baby quilt.

I love how soft and sweet her Oh Ryan quilt looks. It’s amazing how different fabric choices can completely change the look of a quilt.

Becca’s fabric collections always have beautiful large prints paired with perfect blender prints which makes it really easy to select fabrics for just about any quilt pattern. She also designs quilt patterns and her Turquoise Trail pattern is one of my absolute favorites!

Nervous about sewing blocks with multiple pieces? Don’t fret, I’ve got you! Each block in the Hey Betty Boo pattern comes with a seam allowance test to ensure your stitching is precise before you start piecing everything together.

Make a small throw, a large throw, a wall hanging, a table runner, a pillow, a tote… the possibilities are endless! If you start now, you’ll be ready to enjoy your Halloween quilt the whole month of October!

Hey Betty Boo is available as a PDF download, as a single book purchase, and available for wholesale purchase as well. The book is professionally printed in full color.

Some day I hope to meet Melissa of @quiltingabovetheclouds in person. She is the kindest and loveliest human with a big heart for others.

Melissa had unexpected life issues arise after saying yes to testing my Oh Ryan pattern and even though I encouraged her to take it off her plate altogether …. I give you Melissa’s scrappy version of my Oh Ryan pattern. (That’s right, she made it anyway!) It’s delightfully scrappy and fun with all of those happy prints from the Capri collection by @katarinaroccella for @artgalleryfabrics

This crafty lady has an incredible knack for pairing fun fabrics together to make scrappy JOY. Have you seen her version of my Stargrove quilt!? Good gracious it’s beautiful!!!

About the pattern: Oh Ryan can be made from yardage for a cohesive look, a semi-scrappy version, or a scrappy version like Melissa made here. The scrappy and semi-scrappy versions are charm pack, layer cake, and fat quarter friendly.

The pattern includes directions for a lap/baby size (shown here), a throw (the cover quilt) or a bed size. It’s available for wholesale pre-ordering to shops, and PDF form for individual purchase.

Texas is serving up the perfect cozy day! It’s 73° and drizzling while I sip coffee and dream of Fall quilting. Normally I’m taking Sweater Weather Sampler photos in full summer sweat, but not this year! 🍂✨

It feels like the perfect time to share the fabrics I’ll be using for my own Sampler quilt. These warm, cozy colors are all from Art Gallery Fabrics, and I’ll be making the dark version. I also have kits available on my website. They do sell quickly, so don’t wait if you see one you love!

When you register for the Sampler, you’ll get 9 block patterns delivered right to your inbox (one each week), plus tips, tricks, prizes, and the most welcoming community of quilters in our private group. The excitement in there is already contagious, and we’d love for you to be part of it. 🧵💛

Don’t miss your chance to sew along with us, it’s not the same without you! The link to register can be found in the Instagram bios of all 9 designers.

Quilts on walls? Yes please! When Nichole @its.sew.nichole told me she had a space above her sofa that would be perfect for her Oh Ryan quilt she was already off and running. She knew exactly what colors she wanted to use and her color placement within the quilt is spectacular!

Nichole chose to make the yardage version of Oh Ryan in shades of green with one tiny pop of pink and one lovely striped fabric (also in green) by Sharon Holland. I couldn’t help but wonder how it would look in a throw size quilt so I used Quilt Ink to mock it up in her fabrics …. And WOW! Good gracious, it’s beautiful!

Can y’all believe Nichole hasn’t been quilting very long? Give this girl all the love and encouragement because the quilts she makes are BEAUTIMOOSE! So thankful to have her on my pattern testing team!

They are little for such a short amount of time. Every time I make a baby sized quilt my heart longs to go back to rocking my baby to sleep, singing silly songs while he giggles back to me, and zipping him into his footie jammies with the little bears on the feet. It just goes by so fast.

My bestie got us a quilt with his name on it when he was a little guy and I still have it. My prayer is that the Oh Ryan pattern will be the one you reach for to make such special gifts for the new parents around you. It’s just the sweetest pattern, y’all.

I ended up choosing the Gingerheart panto for this baby sized sample and it’s just so dang sweet! I can’t wait to show you more!

We had an opportunity to disappear for the weekend and just breathe. It was much needed, it was restorative, and it was cherished time together.

It was also an opportunity to snap a couple of pictures of my next quilt pattern! Oh Ryan went to the cabin with us!!! ✨

This pattern gives you an opportunity to wow and impress, no matter if you love quilts from yardage for a cohesive look, quilts from pre-cuts (like charm packs) for a super scrappy look, or even if you like something in between… a little bit cohesive + a little bit scrappy. I’ve got you covered!

Stay tuned for her big release on August 26! The story behind this quilt is actually pretty hysterical. It’s a story my husband and I still love to tell. I can’t wait to share!

We had an opportunity to disappear for the weekend and just breathe. It was much needed, it was restorative, and it was cherished time together.

It was also an opportunity to snap a couple of pictures of my next quilt pattern! Oh Ryan went to the cabin with us!!! ✨

This pattern gives you an opportunity to wow and impress, no matter if you love quilts from yardage for a cohesive look, quilts from pre-cuts (like charm packs) for a super scrappy look, or even if you like something in between… a little bit cohesive + a little bit scrappy. I’ve got you covered!

Stay tuned for her big release on August 26! The story behind this quilt is actually pretty hysterical. It’s a story my husband and I still love to tell. I can’t wait to share!

I wish I could do a voice recording in lieu of text for the description of this post. I wish you could hear the joy in my voice that bubbles up from the heart of the community that surrounds this yearly quilt along adventure. I wish you could see the tears in the corners of my eyes when I think about this safe and encouraging environment where quilters are allowed to make mistakes, ask questions, and use fabrics that bring them joy. What a gift it is to be part of a judgement free zone!

Did you know I have several patterns that are pre-cut friendly? Typically when a pattern is pre-cut friendly (think charm packs and layer cakes) it also means it is scrap friendly. It’s the perfect opportunity to go through that bin of beautiful scraps that you have been holding onto and make something absolutely incredible.

My next pattern is gorgeous from scraps, precuts, and from yardage and my pattern testing team is blowing me away with what they have been preparing behind the scenes.

The cover quilt version was made with yardage from Maureen Cracknell’s Marigold collection with @artgalleryfabrics This collection is so cheerful and happy with birds, plaid, butterflies, bumblebees and sunshine! ☀️ I can’t wait to show you the whole thing. 😍

The cover quilt was quilted by @randallquilting and per his usual talent he already has a video prepared for y’all but you just have to wait a LITTLE bit longer to see it!
