Quilt butterfly

Hello there, beautiful people! Guess what? We are learning how to quilt today! Will you join us?

Happy Blogiversary to Pink Doxies! Six years of color-filled posts shared with friends and family, laughter, tears, and lots and lots of love!

It's been 6 years since my first post, and though I'm still a quilter, I'm a changed quilter now. (Maybe a butterfly quilt was more than apropos.) Most of my time is spent longarm quilting for others, and I've been especially…

Today is a big day in these parts! New pattern, new bundles, and kits too! So exciting. The pattern is called Mariposas (butterflies in Spanish) and it's a fast and easy sew, made with fat quarters and a bit of yardage. The pattern has instructions for a straight-grid setting of the blocks, but you'll find instructions for off-set blocks in an upcoming blog post. I have kits for everything except the backing! These two fabrics aren't a part of the kit, I just had to make a pillow so I could…
