Scrappy Stars, Soft Neutrals & Five Fresh Table Runners
Week ending February 14, 2026
What a joyful, creative week at Hen & Chicks Studio! From a scrappy star favorite to timeless neutral fat quarters
and five brand-new Scrappy-Do table runner kits, our quilting community has been busy. Let’s take a look at the
highlights that inspired quilters across the country.

Favorite Free Downloadable Pattern: Kim Diehl Heritage Stars

Our top download this week was the charming Kim Diehl Heritage Stars Free Downloadable Pattern, courtesy of Henry Glass & Co.. This scrappy star quilt finishes at 34½" x 34½", making it the perfect wall hanging, table topper, seasonal accent, or small throw.

Designed with classic 6" finished star blocks, this project is ideal for advanced beginners who are ready to expand their piecing skills while keeping that timeless, scrappy look Kim Diehl is known for. It’s the kind of quilt that feels both traditional and fresh — and stars truly never go out of style.

Fat Quarters from Plain and Simple collection by Andover Fabrics

Top Fat Quarter Bundle: Plain and Simple Neutral Fat Quarter Bundle (8)

Neutrals are having a moment — and this bundle proves why. The Plain and Simple collection by Andover Fabrics celebrates subtle sophistication with soft taupe, ivory, gray, and beige tones.

This 8-piece fat quarter bundle features timeless florals, ditsy prints, and delicate dots that work beautifully together. Whether you’re building a background stash, creating a calm and elegant quilt, or pairing these with bold prints for contrast, this bundle offers incredible versatility. Sometimes simple truly is stunning.

Top Quilt Kit: First Blooms Scrappy-Do Table Runner Quilt Kit

This week’s most-loved quilt kit was the First Blooms Scrappy-Do Table Runner Quilt Kit, featuring fabrics from the First Blooms collection by Riley Blake Designs.

The Scrappy-Do pattern by Pieced Tree Patterns uses 2½" squares arranged in a playful diagonal layout, finishing at 12" x 32½". It’s scrap-friendly, beginner-friendly, and incredibly satisfying to sew.

Our kit includes all fabrics for the quilt top, binding, backing, and the pattern — making it a complete, ready-to-sew project. Perfect for seasonal décor, gift giving, or adding a handmade touch to your home.

Most Watched Video: Unveiling 5 New Scrappy-Do Table Runners

Tuesday’s live unveiling of five brand-new Scrappy-Do Table Runner kits was our most-watched video of the week.

We showcased five completely different fabric styles and color palettes:
• First Bloom
• Kim Diehl Love Struck
• Plain and Simple
• Morning Latte (featuring fabrics by Sandy Gervais)
• Lori Holt

It’s always inspiring to see how one versatile pattern can look totally different depending on fabric choice. If you love quilt kits, table runners, and scrap-friendly quilt patterns, this video is full of ideas and encouragement.

We also shared a sneak peek of our upcoming on-the-road live at The Whole Country Caboodle, known for their precut, prefused appliqué shapes — so stay tuned for more creative inspiration.

It’s weeks like this that remind us why we love what we do. Quilting is about creativity, community, and making something meaningful with our hands. Thank you for being part of the Hen & Chicks Studio family. Let’s keep stitching joy into every single day.
