Well, hello!  It has been a while since I’ve hit publish on a blog post.  And with good reason, we added a third child to our family this Fall!  It took me a little bit longer to get back in my sewing room this time around, but after the holidays I got busy writing my next quilt pattern.  And I am so excited to share it with you today!

Meet my Buds and Blossoms Quilt!  It is available for purchase on Etsy now.  And if you follow me on Instagram, I will be sharing all the different versions made by my amazing pattern testers.

I designed this pattern to incorporate both traditional piecing and beginner English Paper Piecing techniques.  It truly is a beginner quilt because I included links to (my first ever!) YouTube tutorials.  That right, I built up the courage to film some EPP tutorials and share them with the world.   I ended up learning a lot and enjoyed the process so I’ve started my own YouTube channel and you just might see more videos coming your way!  You can subscribe here.

But most importantly, here are all the details on my Buds and Blossoms Cover Quilt!
