Dear Jane Halloween Quilt at Stop

by

Kathleen at Rose Prairie Quilts and Farm documented on her blog Day Two of a group Shop Hop. She spied this Dear Jane Halloween-themed quilt at Quilter’s Harvest In Higginsville, Missouri. Totally worth a stop to see this spin on the traditional one. Click HERE to read her entire post. Oh, and she takes a photo of the shop’s toilet. Funny.

Editor’s Note 6/19/2016: This post was offered as inspiration for fans of the original Dear Jane quilt. Click to see the Dear Jane book by Brenda Papadakis from small business owner, Twiddletails. Their price is better than Amazon.com. If you want to see some of the blocks sewn up, go to That Quilt blog to get started.

Smart Shopping for Quilters – Monday Precut Fabric Sales

Let’s be honest — quilting is a joy, but it can also be an investment. Fabric costs have crept up over the years, and many of us want to stretch our quilting budget as far as possible without compromising on quality or creativity. That’s why I love Fat Quarter Shop’s Precuts of the Week Monday sale. It’s smart shopping at its finest.

Each Monday, a single precut is offered at a special price. It might be a seasonal collection, a bestselling designer, or a new release you’ve been eyeing. Precuts are already efficient — coordinated, pre-cut, and ready to sew — and a discount on top of that makes them even more appealing.

If you’re looking for smart, budget-friendly quilt inspiration, these CraftGossip resources are must-reads:

What I appreciate most about precut deals is that they eliminate the overwhelm. Instead of comparing dozens of bundles, you get one curated offer to consider. It takes the hesitation out of buying and makes it easier to build your stash intentionally.

It’s also a fantastic way to shop ahead for holiday sewing, baby quilts, hostess gifts, and charity projects. Precuts lend themselves beautifully to fast, reliable patterns — especially strip quilts and charm square designs. If you need inspiration, this list is a great jumping-off point:

If you enjoy stretching your quilting dollars while still working with high-quality fabrics, add the Monday Precut sale to your routine. It’s a little moment of joy and practicality rolled into one.
