Introducing Modern Triangle Quilts

finished quilts· Modern Triangle Quilts· quilt pattern

4 Jan

Hi guys!

I’m delighted to kick off the New Year by letting you know that my 2nd book, Modern Triangle Quilts: 70 Graphic Triangle Blocks – 11 Bold Samplers, with Stash Books will be shipping oh so soon! I hear the books are in the warehouse anxiously awaiting their official release. (I’m picturing boxes upon boxes of books quivering comically with anticipation! Hehe!)

You can now pre-order signed copies in my shop. From now until January 18th, receive free shipping (up to $5) by entering “FREESHIP” at checkout.

Of course, I’ll be sharing more in the coming weeks and months, but for now I want to tell you about a few things I’m particularly excited about.

These 3 quilts, from Modern Triangle Quilts, are headed to hang at QuiltCon in Savannah, Georgia. Wow! That’s just a few weeks away. From left, the quilts pictured above are: “Equilateral Sampler”, part of the equilateral section; “Stardust”, part of the Isosceles section; and “Wake”, part of the right triangle section.

This is my doggie-baby, Bruce Wayne. You may have seen him over on my Instagram feed, but I’ve never introduced him over here. Bruce Wayne is a long-haired, miniature dachshund, though we think he’s not a long-haired but rather a fluffy-haired dachshund. Ha!

Nothing new to announce here, I’m just generally excited about his furry presence. Here he is “helping” as all babies, furry and human, are wont to do. 😉

Finally, I’ll be expanding my teaching offerings by offering 2 new online workshops. The workshops, “Playful Color Theory for Quilters” and “Design Improv with Triangles“, will be self-guided courses with interactive content delivered in a combination of short videos, worksheets, readings, resources, and more. Look for these workshops to be available late February/ early March.

Here’s a few pictures from filming the video segments in early December. I and the production crew had a wonderful time working together. It’s shaping up to be a lot of fun, so stay tuned! Interested in taking one or both of these workshops? Be sure to sign up for my newsletter for the latest and greatest class updates.

Lot’s of exciting things happening in 2017! Yah!

Remember to take advantage of free shipping (up to $5) on all orders from my shop, by entering “FREESHIP” at checkout.

Thanks friends!

    Hi. Don’t know if this is a proper place to address a question on you QUILTCON classes.
    Hope you can clarify. I am enrolled in two of your classes and am a bit confused. The course description indicates you will have the book and other bonuses for sale for $25 at the class. Whereas the supply list gives us prep work to do before the classes. The book is not yet available but I am hoping soon. Should I attempt to order or find the book before the class or should I not do the prep (not an option I prefer)
    Thank you if you are able to answer.

      Hi! Yah! I’m excited to see you in class!

      Yes it is a bit confusing. Sorry about that, but I put the book price there so people know they are required to buy the book. I don’t want there to be any surprises.

      So yes, it would be best to order the book and do the prep before class. The book will be available very soon!

    Hi Rebecca! I just purchased you book Modern triangle quilts and you mention a trimming tool. I looked in the book but did not find mentioned which kind you use. I would love to own one since it seems that it facilitates the job. Can we have the name of it? Thank you, love from Italy! The book is really a gold mine!!!!!!

      Yep! Everything you need is in the back of the book in the “Pattern Pullout” pages. Thanks so much!

I don’t know about you, but for me, quilting has n I don’t know about you, but for me, quilting has never been about just making quilts.

It’s about slow mornings, quiet time to myself, creating something with my hands, spending time doing something textile, not scrolling on the internet, spending more time creating and less time consuming...

And I think that’s exactly why so many people are being drawn to quilting today.

You want to get offline, learn something new, and have more quiet time that is just for you and your imagination. ✨

I think we could ALL use more of that in our lives, and if you want to give it a try, I’ve got a free class you can sign up for by commenting ‘FREE’ below. 💕

I’ve taught thousands of quilters over the last de I’ve taught thousands of quilters over the last decade, and I’ve been quilting myself for over 15 years, and this is what I’ve learned. ⬇️

What’s stopping you from quilting isn’t that you don’t want to do it. It’s because you have already convinced yourself of something before even giving it a fair shot. 

You’re probably thinking something like...

👉 “I don’t think I’m creative enough.”
👉 “It looks too complicated.”
👉 “I wouldn’t know where to start.”
👉 “I don’t have enough time.”
👉 “What if I spend all that money and I’m terrible at it?”
👉 “I’ve never been good at sewing.”

If any of those thoughts have crossed your mind, can I let you in on a little secret?

Almost every quilter I know started with one of those ideas in their head, including me. 🤫

The beautiful quilts you see today didn’t begin as beautiful quilts, they began as just an idea and a willingness to try.

Nobody sits down at a sewing machine and automatically knows how to quilt.

You learn by just doing it, sewing stitch by stitch, and every time you enter your sewing room, it gets a little bit easier, and you start to enjoy it more and more. 

If something has been holding you back from quilting, I invite you to take my free class where you have nothing to lose and so much to gain.

Comment ‘FREEZER’ if you want to take my free clas Comment ‘FREEZER’ if you want to take my free class and learn this amazing technique! 👇

Freezer paper piecing tip number eight is to press every seam right after sewing it. 
 
Don’t wait until later or until all of your blocks are done. Press those seams right away!

It might feel like it slows you down in the moment, but it actually saves you time (and frustration) later.

When you press as you go, your seams stay crisp, and your pieces lay flat, which makes lining everything up so much easier. You’re not fighting bulky seams or trying to “fix” things at the end. 🙌

Plus, pressing helps set the stitches and keeps your fabric from shifting as you build your block.

Think of it as part of the sewing process, not an extra step.

Your blocks will be flatter, sharper, and way more accurate… and your future self will thank you!

MAKE A TEST BLOCK!!! Please, I am begging you. 😅 MAKE A TEST BLOCK!!! Please, I am begging you. 😅

You’d think after 15 years of quilting I’d be able to skip it...

And every once in a while I convince myself that I don’t need a test block because I’ve made this block hundreds of times or my freezer paper piecing skills are good enough to skip it... 

And do you know what happens every time I convince myself that I don’t need a test block? 🙃

I almost always regret it and end up having a nice long date with Jack The Seam Ripper as a consequence. 

Learn from my mistakes so you don’t have to learn from your own and make the test block EVERY TIME!!!

Are you making test blocks? Tell me in the comments! ⤵️

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but we’re nearing I can’t believe I’m saying this, but we’re nearing the final months of Dutch Summer! 🥹

Finished Dutch Summer Month 6 blocks are showing up in the Make Modern Triangles Club every day. We’re past the halfway point, and we’re really starting to stack up the blocks! Now that we’ve got a bunch of stacks of blocks, it’s such a fun time to play with arranging your blocks and see what your creativity comes up with. ✨

Once you get beyond the halfway point, you start the countdown to the BIG finish! 🎉

We’re feeling excited, motivated, and accomplished. We are covering some ground, folks! Swipe to see each month’s block so far, and drop a ‘DUTCH’ in the comments if you want to make your own! 💕
