Be Merry, Patriotic Bundles & Creative Inspiration
For Week Ending April 25, 2026
There’s so much inspiration happening right now at Hen & Chicks Studio, and this week’s favorites are a perfect mix of creativity, simplicity, and community. From a stash-busting quilt project to a charming appliqué kit and a patriotic bundle, these are the pieces our customers are loving—and we think you will too.

Favorite Downloadable Pattern: Be Merry

The Be Merry quilt pattern is bringing so much joy to sewing rooms right now. Designed by Jina Barney for My Mind’s Eye, this 69” x 82” quilt uses large 10" squares to showcase your favorite fabrics without cutting them too small.

It’s an easy-to-piece, high-impact project that’s perfect for digging into your stash. Even better, it’s the centerpiece of our Be Merry Stash Busting Challenge. Join in, set a goal to finish your quilt top by June 1, and enjoy the process alongside other quilters sharing their progress in our Creative Community.
