My friends Pat Sloan and Quilt Jane authored a book that just came out called the Splendid Sampler. This 100 block online quilt along was made into an already-successful book, also named the Splendid Sampler (so successful that it already went into its second printing on release day!).
Look at Pat’s beautiful Amethyst Project Bag that she made with her pincushion block front and center! I think this is a really special use of my pattern, and I was so excited to see it. The fabrics used in the project are also by Pat Sloan and called Sunday Drive.
I also designed a block that appeared in the Splendid Sampler book, made with Moda fabrics:
And I also made a project using one of the Splendid Sampler blocks as the cover. This is my Creative Maker Supply Case sewing pattern, with Jane’s ‘Pencils’ quilt block on the front:

I enjoy sewing quilts the most since they can be used forever. Bags are next because I usually want to use my handmade bag instead of a purchased one. And lastly, maybe Halloween costumes.
