Hello, friends, and welcome to the A Quilting Life Favorites September 2022 post. This post is one of my favorites that I write each month because it helps me take a good look at recent finishes and also nudges me to evaluate my sewing for the upcoming month and season. With the end of this month comes the end of a quarter as well, and so I’m already planning for the final three months of the year.
A Quilting Life Favorites September 2022
Most-Read Posts September 2022
It’s always fun to see what the favorite posts were from the month. This month’s list was not a surprise–
- Quilting Life Block of the Month September 2022
- Saturday Seven: Lifestyle & More for Quilters
- Mini Charm Bag Tutorial
- Christmastime Mystery Quilt Sew Along Block 1
- Using Fabric Precuts
Made
Finishing up my Moda Blockheads 4 large quilt was the biggest win this month! I actually had all of the blocks pieced last month but finished up the binding just in time to take it with me on a little trip (see below). But I also worked on some smaller projects I’ll be sharing soon. I pieced a fall topper and runner that I’ll share as my October small project. I also finished up another table runner from a friend’s book I’ll be sharing very soon. And I’ve been working on some patchwork bags that will be finished soon! Finally, my Block of the Month quilt with the 12″ finished blocks is currently with the quilter.
Garden of Quilts
One of my favorite experiences of the month was getting to travel to Thanksgiving Point, Utah and teach two classes at the Garden of Quilts event. I met the loveliest quilters and was able to teach in a large classroom in a beautiful venue. I was very grateful to have been invited to teach and loved every minute of this incredibly well-organized event.
Delight Quilt Video
Also, I’m finally sharing the final quilt video from my Simply Delightful fabric quilt patterns. You can learn all about the Delight quilt above (or watch the video on YouTube here). You can also find my original post on this quilt here.
Emma Precuts + Country Home Kits
Another exciting event this month was that the Emma collection precuts, and Country Home Kits have shipped. You can find all of the precuts in my shop here now. And there are still Low-Volume Emma fabric pre-orders available here. Finally, I just listed the Emma Project Package pre-orders here. Project packages come with a special selection of 12 Fat Quarters, two patterns (one from me and one from Chelsi, and a notion). Finishing kits will be available for my pattern in the project package as soon as they ship.
Coming Soon
I have four projects I’m hoping to finish up soon. One is my small quilt from the Moda Blockheads 4 Sew Along. Another is my small Block of the Month quilt from this year with the 6″ finished blocks. And I have a couple of baby quilts I want to make asap. After that I’ll be eagerly awaiting sample yardage for our next collection. I’ll also be working on Christmas gifts during much of October and November.
Thanks so much for stopping by for the A Quilting Life Favorites September 2022 post. Happy quilting!

Received my Emma fat eighth bundle which I pre-ordered ages ago. What a cheery, pretty line! Can’t wait to whip up something fabulous. Now I have to obsess on which pattern…😊!

I can’t wait to get my Emma fat quarter bundle. I also ordered your latest book – Home for the Holidays and plan to do your quilt along. I love your ideas aand your podcast. You have such a lovely family. Thank you for sharing your time and ideas with us. It means so much.

My Emma fat quarter bundle arrived late last week and I too am having fun deciding on the perfect pattern, especially since I want to incorporate the panel too.

I got all my Emma orders now! I decided to use them for the Bliss sew along in the FQS subscription box.
And that brings me to a question that has me stumped. When doing a sew along, how do you decide which fabrics to use for each block as they come out in order to create a cohesive quilt? So with your Emma fabrics, I am looking at the six bliss quilt cards and I’m wondering how to decide which fabrics to use and how much fabric I will need for the entire quilt. Can you give me any advice on this?
