A Creative Finish to the Year — This Week’s Hen & Chicks Highlights
Week Ending January 3, 2026
Top Download: Stitch Your Goals 2026 Bingo Challenge
Our most downloaded item this week was the 2026 Bingo Challenge card, and we absolutely love the excitement around setting creative goals for the year ahead. This fun, low-pressure challenge is all about intention, momentum, and celebrating progress — one square at a time.
Participants download and decorate their Bingo card, fill each square with a project, task, or personal goal, and upload their completed card by January 15, 2026 to officially join the challenge. From there, you’ll have the entire year — through December 15, 2026 — to work your way across the board. Prizes will be awarded to those who complete their cards, making this a year-long blend of creativity, connection, and encouragement. If you’re ready to make 2026 a year you can look back on with pride, this is the perfect place to start.
Favorite Fat Quarter Bundle: Lori Holt Farmer’s Daughter (Dark)
The favorite fabric pick of the week was the Lori Holt Farmer’s Daughter Dark Fat Quarter Bundle, a timeless collection that never stays in stock for long. Designed by Lori Holt for Riley Blake Designs, this 42-piece bundle is rich with vintage charm and thoughtful color balance.
With deep florals, classic plaids, tiny checks, structured geometrics, and farm-inspired motifs, this bundle offers incredible versatility. The warm reds, earthy browns, sage greens, twilight blues, and creamy neutrals make it ideal for sampler quilts, scrappy throws, or even statement table projects. It’s the kind of collection that builds a stash and inspires projects at the same time.
Favorite Quilt Kit: Evening on the Prairie Holland Pouch Bag Kit
Our most loved kit this week was the Evening on the Prairie Holland Pouch Bag Kit — a complete, beginner-friendly project that’s as satisfying to make as it is to use. This thoughtfully curated kit includes everything needed to create a beautifully quilted pouch from start to finish, with no extra shopping required.
Featuring fabric from the Evening on the Prairie collection by Riley Blake Designs, the kit includes the Holland Pouch pattern by Center Street Quilts, along with the zipper, Soft and Stable, and all interfacing. The finished pouch measures 4½ × 5 × 7 inches and works perfectly for organizing sewing tools, makeup, travel items, or small gifts. It’s a wonderful reminder that small projects can deliver big creative joy.

Each kit includes fabric for the quilt top and binding, exclusive patterns or guides, and collectible keepsake packaging.
