Week Ending November 22, 2025
There’s nothing better than a tool that removes frustration from your quilting process, and this free Yardage for Backing Chart has become an instant staple. Simple to read and incredibly helpful, it’s perfect for quilters who are in project-finishing mode. Just find the measurement closest to your quilt top on the left, choose your backing width across the top, and you’ll have an accurate yardage estimate in seconds. It works with 44/45", 58/60", 90", and 108" backing fabrics (you'll find our widebacks here), making it a must-have whether you’re quilting small projects or tackling larger bed-size quilts. You can download it at the link above — and enjoy a little peace of mind the next time you shop for backing.

Our customers can’t get enough of the Simply Charming collection, and this week the light grouping rose to the top. The Simply Charming Lights Fat Quarter Bundle includes nine beautifully coordinated fat quarters in soft, rustic, vintage-inspired prints. The palette features dusty rose, cream, sage, muted teal, taupe, and warm ivory — a cozy, cottage-style mix that works beautifully in baby quilts, table runners, scrappy samplers, pillows, tote bags, and more. These prints were chosen to take the guesswork out of coordinating colors, saving you time while giving your projects a timeless, handmade feel.

Top Quilt Kits: Weekend-Friendly Table Runners
Two table runners tied for the top spot this week, and both are perfect for a weekend project.
Once Upon a Christmas Toast Points
This festive kit delivers a burst of holiday spirit with bright red poinsettias and cheerful greens. It includes all the fabric you need for the runner top, backing, and binding. The Toast Points pattern is required and can be found in one of our all-time favorite books, Let’s Do Lunch. Finished size is 14½ x 33", and it’s wonderfully beginner-friendly. Whether you’re decorating your home or making a thoughtful handmade gift, this kit is a fun and festive choice.
Fresh Cut Simply Charming
For a non-holiday option, Fresh Cut Simply Charming continues to shine. This kit includes everything you need — fabrics from the Fresh Cut collection, binding, backing, and the Simply Charming pattern by Pieced Tree Patterns. The finished size is 38 x 11½", and it’s the kind of project you can confidently start and finish in a single weekend. It’s bright, fresh, and makes a beautiful centerpiece for your table or a lovely handmade gift.
The top video this week was our Tour de Chicks visit to The Coop. It seems everyone is dreaming ahead to a creative new year, and The Coop’s cozy, well-equipped setup really inspires those plans. This episode highlights everything that makes retreating with us easy — the No Fuss, All Fun attitude, the flexibility of coming solo or bringing friends, and the simple joy of stepping away to create. All the details are at the link above, and we hope it gets you excited about carving out creative time for yourself.
