It’s not really press, but we caught a candid of Michelle in the Quilt Market Class Catalogue!

Press | Modern Patchwork and Stitch Gifts
Some press features from Stitch Gifts and Modern Patchwork
Koi Draft Dodger
Especially useful on this cold polar vortex-y day. Simple to make. We whipped this up, but there’s lots of tutorials for similar. {like this one from Martha Stewart}
We modernized it by making 1/3 one print (in this case Smile & Wave | Magenta) and 2/3 another print (It’s A Plus).
Make It Sew | Koi Doorstop
Sometimes a door just won’t stay open and when that happens you’ll need one of these. Much prettier than a shoe… especially in the gorgeous tones and abstract prints of Koi Canvas.

| When you don’t need it, hang it on the doorknob. It’s still pretty to look at. |
Koi | East West Quilt
We have another free project to share. This one, East West, by Melanie Shortman Tuazon features Koi and is suggestive of the way the blocks alternate directions but also because of the eastern inspiration of the fabric blended with the western quilting technique. Melanie’s own family blends Asian and American traditions so it has deep meaning for her.

Introducing | Koi Canvas by Rashida Coleman-Hale
Koi should be here in a matter of days – and judging from the inquiries lately, waiting for it has not been very easy! Fans of Rashida Coleman-Hale may feel additionally eager by this additional Koi substrate due in December. But it’s really not too far from now… at least you’ll have time to plan your projects. It will be worth the wait!
Koi by Rashida Coleman-Hale
It’s always fun to show off the sample yardage. Now, the hard part is waiting for it to arrive.
{It’s coming in July, folks!}

In the Kitchen with Tsuru | Bordered Dishtowels + Tutorial
As promised, and unfortunately the last in our In the Kitchen with Tsuru series, we have Patchwork Bordered Dishtowels. This is a great project for using scraps of fabric. The use of 100% linen here is an exceptionally nice option because of its absorbent and lint-free qualities.
