Hope’s Journey combines stories of quilters along with quilts and block patterns in a new and exciting way. The cover quilt combines many of these patterns into what I call an orphan block quilt.
Betsy Chutchian combines 28 block patterns in a variety of sizes to create these puzzle-piece style sampler quilts. She actually combines four different layouts to make it even easier.
Each chapter includes stories of pioneer women who were on a journey to find a better life. Along the way, Betsy has shared 11 small quilts that would be spectacular additions to the decor of a bedroom featuring the cover quilt. Here is just a sampling of the “littles”….

In their own words: When the Quilts of Valor Foundation was founded in 2003, its mission was to cover our nation’s military touched by war—that is, to cover them with quilts and honor their service. A volunteer team donate their time and materials to make a quilt collaboratively. Since its beginning, this all-volunteer organization with close to 8,000 members nationwide has awarded more than 200,000 Quilts of Valor. This book explains the history of military quilts since our nation’s beginning, and features a Quilt of Valor to represent each of our 50 states. Also included are 16 quilt patterns to choose from, to inspire you to make your own Quilt of Valor. The organization’s Under Our Wings project, which brings young people into Quilts of Valor and encourages them to learn to sew, is featured, too.
Quilters are truly amazing! Pat yourselves on the back – and order a copy for everyone one of those volunteers who participate!
As I travel around the country, I see more and more Featherweight Clubs. Everyone in the club will want these!
Sew Steady now makes a table just for Featherweights. This classic table measures 18 x 23 inches. The black acrylic table is made exclusively for the Black Singer Featherweight 221k Machine. It even includes a gold printed 16-inch metric ruler and rounded front edge.
This featherweight 221 manual tells the history of the sewing machine, how to date your machine, and how to troubleshoot simple mechanical issues.
And then there is this gorgeous embroidery pattern by Crabapple Hill. What featherweight owner wouldn’t love this???
I am traveling and teaching this month which is always a source of inspiration. I had to rotary cut 2,500 block kits for classes so I was cutting eight layers of fabric at a time.
Even though I started with a new blade, the 2 1/2″ strips were slipping when I was sub-cutting them. Enter the clapper for Wooly Felted Wonders!
I placed the clapper on the strips and moved it along as I sub-cut the pieces. The weight of the clapper stopped the fabrics from shifting! It worked great – and is another use for an amazing tool. I already use it to press my seams open and to set seams as I press. This is just a bonus.
These signs by Sunnyside Quilts are sure to make your customers smile and are the perfect price point for a gift for a friend. I am going on a retreat soon. Wouldn’t these be great decorations?
And my personal favorite….
These signs are due in next month – just in time for holiday giving!
As soon as I saw this book, the wheels started turning. It includes 56 different projects from a variety of top designers. Why not make it required reading in a series of classes? Choose 12 different projects that each teach a variety of concepts and techniques – or let your students decide!
Just look at the variety! Choosing just twelve will be the hardest part! All of these are easy to kit and can be completed in an afternoon class. Why not offer a demo with a class afterward for those who buy the kit and the book? Then, in that class, show the project for the next class. If they buy the kit, it reserves their space in the class the following month. If they don’t, that chair is open for whoever buys the kit! I did this and offered an afternoon, an evening, and a Saturday class. ALL of them were full for the entire year! This book is due out the first of the year so start planning your schedule today!
