Patch You Later

Welcome Fall, and welcome back to the RHQ Blog.  I am glad you are here! 

The RHQ Pattern Store has been updated. Quilt patterns now feature tracking icons, so it is easier to keep your place while making all the HSTs and Unit, A, B, C, etc.

Also, thanks to your suggestions, Medic  is revamped with added illustrations for creating 4-in-1 Flying Geese. 

Today, you can sign-up for a new combined products newsletter. Now you will be the first to know about new patterns and book launches, holiday gear and [NEW FEATURE!] pop-up shopping. I promise never to spam you with abandoned cart reminders or junking-up your inbox by sending you the same email over and over until you get a chance to open it. I appreciate that you are too busy for those shenanigans. 

This blog will continue to focus on everything quilting and sewing. For example, the vintage quilts I am adding in the RHQ Etsy shop will have bonus photos shared here. 

In contrast, RHQ Substack will be reserved for serial stories and writing life posts. BTW, the behind-the-scenes chapters of The Quilted Calendar have been popular over there. And you don't have to be a Substack member to receive that newsletter in your inbox, too.

There is one more RHQ shop you should know about:  RHQ Wholesale

If you would like a bundle of books for your LQS, as a Guild fundraiser, or just for gifting, you are welcome to shop here. 

Whew! These milestones have been a long time in the making. To celebrate, I am launching the first RHQ Pop-Up offer, a quilter t-shirt:

I want to try Pop-Up Gifts for two reasons. Through pre-orders, I can offer unique quilter lifestyle gifts at special low prices (in this case, $27). After printing, everyone will get their T-shirts shipped out to them on the same day. I just think that will be extra fun, and I hope you do too.

Coffee Chat Friends

I love everything hotel. My kind of camping comes with room service. While I was writing The Crazy Quilter, I pictured a “pillow drop” for sharing my debut novel with vacationing fall readers. Thanks to my quilting friends Tabatha and Rachel, my dream is coming true at Camelia Palms quilt retreat center in Alabama! Check out our Coffee Chat about the Quilted Summit, which brought us all together.

I had the most fun! Tabatha Smith and Rachel Joines from Quilted Summit helped me create my dream of sharing The Crazy Quilter via a quilt retreat "pillow-drop." 

You can join our coffee chat here and here all about the retreat treats and our Quilted Summit workshops too: Watch Coffee Chat

There will be Live Sit & Sew events with TABATHA SMITH at the end of both days. Otherwise, you don't need to bring anything. Each zoom-style workshop - and there are 25 - includes free PDF gifts of guides and patterns. 

My workshop will be 1:30CMT, 9/17; UPCYCLING OLD QUILTS

We will be looking at all the techniques you need for changing worn out quilts into new projects. You'll receive a checklist of these design considerations, plus a project list of 60 ideas for what to do with an old quilt. I hope you'll come and enjoy the show!

I'm also looking forward to seeing:
