Thom & Mathilda

Went to QuiltCon with a plan. Left with… enthusiastic support for the artist economy. 😅💛

Call it overbuying if you want. I’m calling it investing in joy, artistry, and the beautiful abundance that happens when artists support artists. 💛

QuiltCon 2026 and my brain is now buzzing with ideas! 🧠
I was a total kid in a candy shop… except the candy was fabric.

So much love for Moda, Ruby Star Society, Lo & Behold Stitchery, and Duckadilly — and honestly, every single vendor who poured their heart into their booths. The creativity on that show floor was unreal.

I left with a million inspo pics, a head full of ideas, and big plans to bring some of that QuiltCon magic back to the shop soon 👀💕

Did you have a favorite vendor or trend this year?

We don’t need an assigned day to express and show love… but I’ll take it. ❤️

Turns out pink, hearts, and flowers are some of my favorite things and not just for February. Love shows up in the everyday moments: a warm meal, a shared laugh, a handmade gift, a quiet kindness. The stitches that bind us rarely make a spectacle, but they hold everything together.

Today I’m choosing love. Sharing warmth. Noticing the beauty in the soft and the bright.

And maybe adding a little extra pink while I’m at it.💖💐💗💕💞💓🌹🌸🌷🌺
