🎄 A little Christmas in July... 🎄

I know... Christmas might feel a long way off, but as quilters, we all know how quickly those holiday projects sneak up on us! 😊

If you've been thinking about making Winterberry, now is the perfect time to start. It's one of those quilts that's just as enjoyable to make as it is to snuggle under when it's finished. From choosing the fabrics to watching the blocks come together, it's a project that celebrates the joy of quilting every step of the way.

I'm so excited to see Winterberry making its way into your sewing rooms, and I can't wait to watch all the different fabric combinations you choose.

❣ Winterberry is my Pattern Spotlight of the Week, and it's $2 OFF through Saturday!

You can find the pattern at www.skyethistlequilts.com as a PDF download or printed pattern.

And if you decide to make one, I'd absolutely love to see it! Be sure to tag or share a photo with me. Seeing your quilts is one of my favorite parts of being a pattern designer, and I love cheering you on from the first cut to the final stitch.

Now tell me... if you were making Winterberry, what fabric collection would you choose? Would you keep it cozy and Christmas-themed, or give it a completely different look? I'd love to hear your ideas! You never know where the inspiration for my next sample quilt might come from! 😊

Happy quilting! 💜🧵

🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦

As a Canadian quilt pattern designer, today feels like the perfect day to celebrate not only our beautiful country but also the incredible quilting community that makes this journey so rewarding.

One of my customers recently shared this beautiful Charmed Star table runner she made just in time for Canada Day. She wasn't able to find the Oh Canada charm pack, so she got creative with fabric strips instead and I absolutely love how it turned out! ❤️🤍❤️

Her message truly made my day:

"This is such a great pattern, Annik. Detailed, easy-to-follow instructions, quick & fun to make, and everything just 'clicked' into place... I can't wait to make additional runners!"

There is no greater compliment than hearing that someone enjoyed making one of my designs. Moments like these are exactly why I love creating quilt patterns.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Skye Thistle Quilts! Whether you've purchased a pattern, shared your finished projects, stopped by to say hello at a quilt show, or simply cheered me on. Your encouragement means more than you know.

If you'd like to make your own Charmed Star table runner, the pattern is available on my website and Etsy, or ask for it at your favourite local quilt shop.

Wishing you a wonderful Canada Day filled with family, friends, creativity, and maybe even a little quilting! 🍁❤️

Happy Canada Day!

Next stop...✈️ Off to Quilt Canada!

Well… the time has finally arrived.
I’m off to Quilt Canada in Winnipeg this Wednesday!

I’m incredibly excited (and maybe a little nervous!) to be attending Canada’s largest quilting event this week.

Over the past six months, I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to work with Barb Cherniwchan of Coach House Designs, who has generously shared her experience, insights, and encouragement as a fellow Canadian quilt pattern designer, helping me navigate the quilting industry and build my business.

I’m so thrilled to be showcasing several of my newest designs in the Coach House Designs booth.

Seeing my patterns at Quilt Canada is a pretty special milestone, and I’m deeply grateful for Barb’s mentorship and support along the way.

If you’re attending Quilt Canada, I’d love for you to stop by, say hello, and take a look at what’s new.

I can’t wait to share these projects and connect with fellow quilters from across the country.

See you in Winnipeg 🧵❤️
