UNITY Quilt-Along Wrap-Up and January Weekend Quilt Debut
Hey, everyone! We’ve officially crossed the finish line on the UNITY Quilt-Along, and I have to ask — how satisfying does it feel to see all those half-square triangles finally reveal what they were meant to become?

Winter always outlasts the holidays, which is why, in my opinion, winter-themed stitching deserves more than a quick cameo.

PLOT TWIST!
Hey, everyone! Remember when I told you our cotton Holiday Gift Boxes were sold out and that ship had sailed? Ha—apparently I lied! Turns out Jess and Amy are basically warehouse wizards who worked some serious magic behind the scenes. They managed to pull together enough materials to create 20 more cotton boxes, and guess…

’Tis the season…
Hey, everyone! Are you shopping for a fellow stitcher this season? Being one yourself, you already know the hard part isn’t figuring out what we like — it’s finding something we don’t already have multiples of. As you know, most quilters are stocked up on the essentials and then some, so the trick is finding…

There’s SNOW Place Like Primitive Gatherings!
Hey, everyone! How’s the winter season treating you so far? At this point, all I can say is — let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! Wisconsin’s been generous with the white stuff this year so far, and I’m not about to complain. We’ve already gotten more accumulation in the last couple of…

Hey, everyone! Do you think you could crank out a large quilt top in a weekend? I do! Meet Log Pile — 88 x 99 inches of proof that big quilts don’t have to be complicated. Sure, Log Pile is a little on the husky side, but it’s still surprisingly easy to make. I’m calling…
