This is happening in my studio #8, I’ve been working on several different quilt projects and I can’t share some of them yet.
I have already finished my April UFO and it is beautiful! I have no idea why I waited so long to get this quilted.
Sneak Peek
I am excited to have my first Signature collection with Island Batik Lumin Fabrics! The collection is called Feather & Flair and will be available in August. I already have several quilts and patterns done and am still working on a few more. These are 8½” squares of most of the batiks. There are 20 fabrics in the collection.
Feather & Flair – I can’t wait to share more on this collection.
Sheer Bliss by White Owl Textiles
I will also be making a quilt and sharing it next month for Missouri Star Quilt Co. These beautiful fabrics are from Lumin Fabrics. I picked out the fat quarter bundle of Sheer Bliss curated by White Owl Textiles and additional yardage from the collection and Missouri Star Quilt Co. sent them to me.
Quilt Block
I also used some of my leftover fabrics from my Twizzle quilt to make this quilt block. I plan on sharing a tutorial on making it soon.
Table Runner
When I finished quilting my UFO, there was enough batting and backing to finish up this table runner. This is another old quilt project that never got finished. Yes, I do have a whole tote of quilt projects like this.

Hi, Connie!
Happy 75th birthday! I will be 75 on May 31st! I found you while looking for quilting patterns on ETSY. I have cloth & pattern to sew a table runner of yours that looks simple. I enjoy reading your blog.
Hi Greta, thank you very much and I hope you’ll have a great birthday also. I would love to see a photo of your runner when finished.
Happy Birthday Connie
I’m working on my Twizzle Quilt, I’m hoping to have it done before the end of the month.
