I took a break from quilting embroidery on my Arcadia to make this darling wall hanging. Lindy Haley showed hers she made and I couldn’t resist.

We just finished my Zoom class making the ByAnnie.com and Patterns By Annie bag called A Place for Everything. I made mine out of the Ruby Star Collection called 1-800-Notions. I love these seam rippers so much (I even had to use one during the Zoom...even instructors make mistakes...but that shows how to fix mistakes!).

Have you made one of these? We put together kits for them so you don't need to purchase more supplies than needed. You also can get the recorded Zoom classes if you'd like to see me make mine and get tips and tricks and have unlimited help until you finish yours. Just let me know.

Katie and Madi have been busy designing new colorways for Arcadia. They both chose beautiful collections from Moda...Bloomsberry, True to Hue and Windfall. Which is your favorite? I love how they all look so different.

If you want one, just order it...they are listed. They will ship to you free within the US and come with our awesome quilt guarantee.

Do you want to get one of these at 20% off? Just sign up for one of our Alaska cruises and the kit you make on the cruise will get 20% off - any Quiltworx kit. We will be teaching Arcadia on the cruise and will help you with any other Quiltworx pattern you are making.

I've been testing the Fabric Confetti designs for embroidering the applique on an Arcadia Kit. I love the look of the embroidery version. This one goes with my colorway using Tula's Legendary collection for the Queen Arcadia.

Collections for a Cause Magnolia arrived from Moda Fabrics United Notions today! We love it and designed 3 quilts with it. Lakeshore Hosta, Cinnamon & Sage and Pocket Compass. See link in comments to purchase. These come with our free shipping in the US and out kit guarantee.

My brain must be mush with all the Arcadia kits we have available. I know I listed these custom versions of Arcadia in Tula's Legendary...but they vanished. They are back now and you can order! You can even get wide back for the Queen! You can see all four (my two and Quiltworx's version) by searching on my website "Arcadia Tula".

Remember, my earlier post? I took out to legendary mythical creature fabrics so their body parts aren't chopped into pieces. However, the fabrics are fantastic and would make a great backing - wall or queen. Just ask.

I'm making the Queen right now and testing the Fabric Confetti embroidery designs for the applique. So far it's fantastic and highly recommended.

Remember, these don't ship until late January, but they will ship free within the US and come with our awesome kit guarantee.

We designed Arcadia in Joysome from Moda Fabrics United Notions, this is such a fund bright collection from Cori Yoder. They both come with backing, a wide back on the queen and reg 44" width for the wall. Which is your favorite?

All of our kits come with free shipping in the US and Lucy's kit guarantee. If you make a mistake, we will replace up to one yard of fabric.

I just finished my first Arcadia. The one on the left is the actual quilt and on the right is the Quiltster image. It must be the lighting, but the Quiltster image looks more like the actual quilt as it has more of the gold/patina tones.

I do want to share that I must admit that I love ❤️ the TRPs in this pattern. I've been a long time rebel against TRPs in most cases but CI Barbara Barringer warned me that I should use them. I followed her advise and am so thankful. There are so many, annoying so when stitching them out, but absolutely not annoying when putting together the units. The TRP lines were exact and so plentiful that I rarely even used pins or clips when sewing the units together. I just matched the lines and held it until I reached them. So easy, so time saving. If you are a TRP rebel like me, I highly recommend using them on this quilt!

If you love this colorway, I do have it listed on my website. Just search for Arcadia Tranquil and it will come up.

I finally finished my shawl I started in Amsterdam. This thing has almost 1200 stitches by the time you get to the last row. It’s being blocked here. I’ll be wrapped round and around wearing this!

I have colored a new version of the Arcadia Queen pattern using Tula Pink's Legendary Collection. In my version I eliminated the larger prints of Legendary creatures because they just don't fit in any of the sections, and who wants to decapitate a creature, even a legendary mythical one. What do you think?

I do have it listed, just search on my website for Arcadia Tula and all the options will come up. Do you want anything changed? Then just order the custom version. My Tula Pink colorway comes with an option for wide backing in the Legendary Collection.
