Cosmos BOM Month 1 Member Makes

Block of the Month Program· Modern Triangle Quilts· Sewing with Triangles· Uncategorized

2 Feb

Cosmos BOM Month 1 member makes are here!

We’ve been dreaming and planning for the ta-da’s and oooooo and aaaah’s.

Make Modern Triangles Club members are an excited bunch of quilters. In fact, they could hardly wait for Month 2. (Psssst: I release them a few days early before the first day of each month in case you’re itchin’ for stitchin’.)

I’m loving the Cosmos BOM Month 1 member makes! I’m so proud of you guys!

We’re off to an awesome start.

FReezer paper Fiesta!

This past month I’ve been hearing lots of cheering for the freezer paper piecing method. In fact, YOU could be cheering soon because there’s an updated, step-by-step photo tutorial and free downloadable guide on the blog. Click here to get yours.

Our sewjo is soaring because it’s easier than removing the little shreds of paper when you’re done. And the results are great! Gah!

Man, I’m so happy when I hear about these wins.

Yup, we’re feeling the maker’s high – progress, pride and confidence! And especially our members who are freezer paper piecing for the first time!

Members learn freezer paper piecing (FPP) inside the Make Modern Triangles club. Freezer paper piecing uses foundations but there’s no tedious ripping them off when you’re finished. Members are hooked! (attached? adhered?)

Block 47 is a perfect block for practicing freezer paper piecing. I design extra blocks and offer them to members in Expansion Packs. More, please!

Quilting is one of those things that sooner or lat Quilting is one of those things that sooner or later becomes more than just a hobby. 🫶

It might start as fabric and a project idea or a pattern…

And then somewhere along the way, you’re thinking about who it’s for, what they’ll love about it, and how they’ll use it. But you’re thinking of them the entire time you make it. 

And they think of you every single time they see it! ✨

And years later, that same quilt is still there on the back of a couch, at the end of a bed, or wrapped around someone you love.

We’re not just making quilts. We’re making memories and things that get used, loved, and held onto long after the last stitch is sewn.

Send this to a mom you want to know you are thinking of this week. 💌

I’ve just revealed a BRAND-NEW pattern!!! 🪄 Alche I’ve just revealed a BRAND-NEW pattern!!! 🪄

Alchemy is my latest block of the month pattern, and this one is for quilters who want something new and maybe even a bit of a challenge! 😉

Presale opens on May 11th. Mark your calendars and follow along! 💕

Do you ever feel like a quilting turtle... slow an Do you ever feel like a quilting turtle... slow and behind? 🐢

Well, let’s just say you’re not alone in that experience! 😅

I know the cycle all too well. Imagine, decide, plan, prep, and sew. Ope... enter mistakes and setbacks. A trip to the fabric store (again). Cut. Stitch. Rip. Stitch.​

Then, the sew-sweet finish! Finally, lol!

When progress feels slow like a turtle... I find it helpful to focus on three things: ⬇️

1️⃣ Celebrate Progress. Just taking the next (teeny tiny) small step can feel every which way but forward. But It’s still progress, especially if you took time for yourself to create! Celebrate it!

2️⃣ Delight in the unknown. Feeling unsure, wanting to quit, or starting over? It’s the normal artist’s experience. Isn’t it great? Haha!

3️⃣ Imagine the end game. Imagine how it’s going to feel when you finish that last stitch! And it’s going to be beautiful! Keep making progress (yes... even if it’s teeny tiny turtle progress!)! We’ve seen it happen, and it’s so possible for you! You can do this.

We all feel like turtles sometimes, that’s why it’s VITAL to celebrate progress, even if it’s block by block or one stitch at a time. 🪡

So today, take some time to celebrate your progress! It’s so thrilling every time I see a block finish! Eeeeeeeee! Every. time! Tell me what you are celebrating in the comments! ✨

So I uh... well, you see... inspiration hit, and I So I uh... well, you see... inspiration hit, and I designed and made a new Block of the Month quilt!

I know, I know... crazy?!

TOMORROW, I'll be revealing the design and walking you through the color choices and all that fun "new project planning" stuff!

Behind the scenes, I'm extra excited because I did the quilty math on the rainbow version, and it turns out we can use fat quarters!

A fat quarter-friendly project just makes choosing fabrics so easy! Fat quarters are like potato chips, you can't just have one... you simply collect them. 🧐

So, if you're like me! You probably have quite a collection of fat quarters. 🌈 🥹

I'll be making this new quilt design alongside you, using my collection of Alison Glass fabrics.

This BOM quilt is more challenging than my other BOM quilts, but still totally doable. Of course, the primary technique will be freezer paper piecing, so you can brush up on your skills in my "Scrappy Whirligig" class. Comment 'FREE' to take the class! 💌

I'm so proud of this quilt, and I cannot wait to show it to you! 🤩 If you want first dibs on the new Block of the Month program, comment 'FIRST' to add your name to the "first dibs" wait list, and I'll be sure you are the first to know when sign-ups are open! 🫶

Mark your calendars... I am revealing a BRAND-NEW Mark your calendars... I am revealing a BRAND-NEW block of the month design on May 1st! 🗓️ ✨

Yes, you read that right! 🙌

I have been working behind the scenes on ANOTHER block of the month pattern, and you’ll finally be able to see it on May 1st! 

And get excited, because this one is completely new and unlike any I have ever released before. I think you’re going to love it. 🤭

👉 Turn on post notifications so you don’t miss the reveal! ✨
