Another week of creativity, quilting, and inspiration is in the books at Hen & Chicks Studio! From a free quilt pattern that continues to capture the hearts of quilters everywhere to classic Kim Diehl fabrics and an adorable children's collection from The Whole Country Caboodle, here's a look at what everyone was loving this week.
Top Free Download: Be Merry Continues to Shine
The Be Merry Challenge officially wraps up June 1, but quilters are still downloading this free pattern by the dozens and racing to finish their quilt tops before the deadline.
What makes Be Merry so special is its simplicity. Large blocks allow favorite fabrics to take center stage, making it a wonderful stash-busting project that comes together quickly. Even after the challenge ends, we believe this pattern will remain a go-to favorite for using fabric you've been saving and turning it into something beautiful.
Top Fat Quarter Bundle: Kim Diehl Every Heart Beats True Fat Quarter Bundle
Classic never goes out of style, and that's exactly why quilters continue to love Kim Diehl fabrics.
The Every Heart Beats True Fat Quarter Bundle includes sixteen coordinating fat quarters filled with rich color, timeless prints, and the warm, welcoming style Kim is known for. These fabrics blend beautifully with other Kim Diehl collections and work wonderfully for quilts, table runners, wall hangings, and scrappy projects.
