• Let Me Tell You About The Henry Glass October 2024 Release

    I am excited to tell you all about the newest Henry Glass October 2024 release. This is typically the largest release of the year as it coincides with the Quilt Market, but also it is when we release seasonal lines (Christmas, Harvest, Halloween & Winter Themed) for 2025. One thing to note, we shifted the deliveries for our seasonal lines by pushing them out a month. Now, Harvest and Halloween ship in May, Christmas ships in June and Winter Themed collections ship in July or later. Without further ado, let’s dive in! We start off strong with A Kitty For Christmas by Hannah West of Lucky Day Designs. This 15-SKU…

  • The Blank Quilting October 2024 Release

    It is starting to cool down now, making it the perfect time to create a new quilt. This Blank Quilting Corp. release will get you brainstorming. It features some unique holiday groups perfect for those special occasions. Without further ado let us get into this release. A Purr-fect Holiday Season will have all the felines purring in merriment. This group has blocks that show kittens snuggled up ready for the holiday. I love the knit patterns in this group because they work well as blenders and can be easily used in any project. There are 10 SKUs in this collection that will ship in July 2025. The next collection, Autumn…

  • My Favorite October Shipping Collections

    October is one of my favorite times of the year. The trees turn all sorts of wonderous warm colors and the cool air allows me to bring out some of my favorite sweaters. The collections shipping out this month are quite fun so let us jump into some of my favorites. Jardin de Lune has me glowing with ideas. This collection features glow-in-the-dark elements for a unique twist on a garden collection. I envision this being used in the bedroom as when you turn off the light at night you will still be able to enjoy a wonderful garden. The panel will help you create decorative pillows or put together…

  • Guest Blog from Catherine Brown About The #ScottSentMe Challenge

    Hi everyone, Catherine here!  We are well into #ScottSentMe2024. Since I am such a big #ScottSentMe fan, Scott asked me if I would like to supply today’s blog to tell you about our #ScottSentMe2023 travels.  I first participated in the #ScottSentMe challenge in 2019 (2nd year).  I stumbled upon the contest days before my husband, Kevin, and I were leaving on a road trip from Nova Scotia to Florida via Missouri (not exactly a direct route)!  I was very new to quilting. I didn’t even know that shop-hops were a thing!  I remember saying something like, “There’s this contest on Facebook where you go to as many fabric shops as you can…

  • My Favorite September Shipping Collections

    I do not know about you, but I am dancing in September because I am so excited to share my favorite collections for the month. Put on your dancing or quilting shoes and let us groove into these favorites. Purely Neutral by Satin Moon Designs is my favorite collection shipping from The Blank Quilting Corporation this month. The grey and tan prints pair well with a variety of projects. They are a great option for blenders or to create a monochromatic quilt that will complement any space. The variety of textures will bring an artisan look to any project that you complete with Purely Neutral. My favorite pattern in the…
