A big part of the workroom's next transition will be some exciting projects that have been on the back burner for way too long. We are launching a series of digital patterns, books, workshops and more! Looking back over the last seventeen years of teaching this community, we have so much to share. I'm looking forward to creating more beautiful & creative resources to build on that foundation we've created together and continue to welcome new makers into the fold.

The first release in this exciting new series is the Double Time Quilt Pattern, originally featured in the book Karyn co-authored with Jacqueline Sava, Handmade Getaway. What I love most about this pattern is its story—it was designed to be made with a friend (or two, or more!). If you have a sewing bestie or group, this is a fun way to share your favourite stash fabrics and create a collaborative quilt. [Read the full story here].

Two of our curated solids bundles are just the right amount to make this quilt. We've created five beautiful new solid bundles recently that would make dreamy quilts. Check out the hashtag #doubletimequilt to see many of the amazing versions that have already been made to get inspired! The link to the pdf pattern will be emailed to you immediately, so you can start planning your quilt this weekend!

There will also be a Quilt-A-Long for this pattern in November once the dust settles from our move. I can't wait to see your Double Time Quilts come to life.
