Hi Friend,

Do you ever open your fabric stash, stare into the abyss, and think, "What now?" Because let me tell you—I've had that exact moment. Picture this: it’s past 10 p.m., I’m standing in my sewing room (aka chaos central), surrounded by bins of fabric I forgot I even owned. Some of it is so outdated it practically smells like 1997. I can’t find the pattern I was just holding five minutes ago, my color palette has dissolved into a blur of dusty mauves and panic, and I’m this close to cutting something—only I know the second I pick up that rotary cutter, I’ll end up with a Band-Aid situation. (Ask me how I know.)

That’s exactly why this week, we’re shining the spotlight on a few goodies that make it easy to just start stitching—no second-guessing, color-pulling, or late-night fabric math involved.

Let’s talk about quilt kits for a sec. These little bundles of joy are like meal kits for quilters—all the ingredients, perfectly portioned, no running back to the store because you forgot the binding. If you’re ready for a no-fuss, feel-good project, start here: >> Shop Kits

Speaking of feel-good… have you met collage quilting? It’s messy in the best way—like those kindergarten cut-and-paste days, but this time you get to use a rotary cutter and nobody tells you not to run with scissors.

Join us for the Flowerfly Collage Workshop and Retreat with Karen. She’ll show you how to layer textures, spot treasures in your stash, and make something beautiful out of fabric chaos. It’s fun. It’s funky. It’s so you.

And hey, if you need a little escape (or you live a little too far for a day class), don’t forget—our retreat center is standing by with comfy beds, a fully stocked kitchen, and all the space you need to spread out, sew, and maybe finally finish that UFO you swore you'd get to last fall. >> Retreat Info

Quilt on my beautiful quilting friend!
