My vow to never custom quilt another quilt again is out the window. This is the start of my Carnival Flower in Tim Holtz Palette Collection. It’s just too beautiful to not custom.

I’m honoring the claim on this quilt by my favorite first born son. He’ll get it eventually. I can always make another if the two kits I have left don’t get purchased by another quilter with a favorite first born son. Save me! I’ve already custom quilted another Carnival Flower.

Have you been thinking about the new TOM called Arcadia and how and when you might take a class? Well, your thoughts have brought you here...you know how Facebook reads your mind...well it's happened again and this time for good.

Spumoni Garden Quilts by Carin and I will be teaching Arcadia on both of our cruises to Alaska in 2027. The first one starts 4-25-27 and the 2nd 8-14-27. We are filling up fast on both of these and would love to have you join us on one or both. Imagine getting Arcadia finished while at sea. It could happen.

Another bonus of taking this class while on a cruise is that you will be able to get 20% off your kit that you are making on the cruise. Think about it (carefully so Facebook doesn't intrude)...20% off Arcadia and lessons while cruising. What could be better?

Before the cruise we will have Zoom sessions to help you get your kit cut and ready to sew, or if you prefer, we do offer cutting services and will deliver your cut kit to the ship so all you need to do is sit, sew, eat, look at wildlife and glaciers, repeat.

All you need to do right now is register and make a deposit. The balance is due about 4 months in advance of the cruise and is refundable until then. But then, we don't want you to cancel.

Thank you everyone for the enormous response to the post below to get on my "super secret advance pre-non-order list" for this new pattern being released in January 2027. I have tried to see all of the requests and respond. If you did not get an email, message or reponse to your request to be on this "super secret advance pre-non-order list" then I don't have you on the list. To make sure your request does not get lost in the Facebook multi faceted way of telling me you requested to be on the list, please instead send me an email....because I will need your email to let you know when it's time to order. My email is : [email protected] or just go to my website and contact me through the site.

For those of you asking about classes, we suggest you consider one or all of the following:

1) Go on one of our Alaska cruises in 2027 where Spumoni Garden Quilts by Carin and I will be teaching the Arcadia pattern. Email me with questions about the cruises or just go to my website.

2) Take a Zoom class to be offered by Spumoni Garden Quilts by Carin. Contact Carin for details.

3) Take an in-person class (yes, the cruises are an option). Spumoni Garden Quilts by Carin will be offering in-person classes in a variety of locations.

We are currently designing exclusive colorways...so there are more choices to follow!

By now you have probably seen all the colorways for Arcadia that have been created so far. Have you picked out what you want? I can't decide. I expect that some of you might be the same way. Besides all the colorways created by Quiltworx, we will be doing just as many of our own exclusive designs, just to make it even more challenging to decide. Or, you can be like me with Jungle Magnolia and make 5 of your top favorites.

Because of all the decision, not just the colorway, but applique or no, how much applique, what size and likely a multitude of options to change groups or ways to color them, I have decided to hold off with official pre-order deposits. You can give me money to hold for what you decide, but I can't give you a price for several months, so why give me a non-refundable deposit on a mysterious quilt?

Just know, that I will be kitting them all. I will customize what you want until you are deliriously happy. When we get closer to the end of the year I will ask for deposits. For now, just tell me which colorway you think you want so I can order in the correct amount of fabric. No obligation on your part...you'll just be on my super secret advance pre-non-order list. I'll contact you when it's time for a $ commitment. Until then, enjoy the viewing and email me with what you think you might consider ordering.

I tried to put these in the order of my favorite, but couldn't decide.

Part 2 of Luminary. Rather than using the swatch charts I just bagged a swatch of each group using the labels to identify each of the 64 different colors by group. I do this with most any pattern with multiple colors. When I sew the group I usually will display the colors with the labels showing so I can confirm I’m placing everything correctly. I’m anxious to start sewing to see how I need to use these.

I just finished cutting out the King Luminary pattern. I did this together with Terri Bayer Hulse as she cut hers. We figured two sets of eyes might help. Because of all the colors I decided this one was one I should follow what I preach “trust the process” and read and follow the instructions, including all the bags and sorting. What I learned was that this was a good idea. Cutting went like clockwork (lots of it) but most importantly my opinion of Quiltworx patterns was validated again.

If you ever think that these patterns are expensive, just consider what has gone into them. I am so impressed with Luminary especially. I’m not quite sure why I think making a king is my thing. It’s my first king but I figured if I’m making this I might as well add those beautiful floating triangles.

Thank you Quiltworx.com for your excellent patterns.

I finally finished my version of Sugar Plum Fairy that I colored in Moda Grunge Glitter. I love it so much. ***That was an easy fix!***. Thanks Spumoni Garden Quilts by Carin for noticing!

05/31/2026

I love these, but then I’m obsessed with this Greyworks fabric line. I make kits for byAnnie patterns so you can buy just what you need and not have all those extra supplies. And yes, I have these fabrics as well! Just let me know what you want and I’ll put it together for you.
