Plains and Pine

This week I’ve been out of the “office” and will continue to be for a while this summer. Summer is short so I’m soaking it up. I will send out occasional email updates on what I’m up to and what’s coming up. If you are interested in keeping in touch AND want me to send you the 5 free quilt patterns I have released over the last few years comment PATTERNS and I’ll send you the link to get those.

I hope you enjoy your summer! 😎☀️

Had to take my Camp Star at the Camp my husband and I got married since our anniversary was this week. 🥰

That’s a wrap on the Camp Star sew along! Thank you to everyone who participated. I really enjoyed seeing your quilts come together and making another one myself.

How are you spending your weekend? I have 1 more Camp Star quilt to bind before I start sharing the rest of the samples I made, but our weather is SO NICE this weekend it feels impossible to stay inside and sew… I’ll get to it eventually. 😉☀️

The Camp Star quilt pattern will be available April 25th!

Was there a specific pattern or design that drew you to quilting? The Lone Star did that for me. It has been my favorite design since I can remember. Even before I was interested in sewing.

The 3rd quilt I ever made was a queen size Lone Star with y seams. I had no clue what y seams were, I didn’t know how to cut or sew on the bias, and my 1/4” seam allowance was not consistent. But I stumbled through it and it’s a quilt that we use everyday (10+ years later!).

I created the Lone Star Workshop so I could help take the frustration out of making your own Lone Star. So even if you haven’t cut or sewn on a bias or are new to y seams - you can do it!

See all available workshops here: https://plainsandpine.mykajabi.com/store

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Does cutting and sewing on a bias intimidate you? Is a Star quilt on your quilt bucket list? Do you learn best by step by step video instruction? I can help!
⭐️Registration is now open for all Plains and Pine Workshops! ⭐️

The Hyalite Star is one of the 5 workshops. It is one of my favorites. (But they are really all my favorites which is why I created Workshops for them…)

The Wild Homestead Star is one of the 5 Workshops that is opening up this Friday. I designed this pattern to be a unique, scrap-busting quilt. I know I often find it hard to part with even those odd shaped scraps from a favorite print… but then what? Well this pattern is designed to use scraps of ALL shapes and sizes. I made this quilt last winter and it’s definitely one of my favorites still. It’s like a little “I Spy” quilt.

In the Wild Homestead Workshop - I will walk you through each step of making this pattern. Want more info? Learn more here: https://plainsandpine.com/pages/workshop

Let me know if you have any questions on this pattern or the Workshop. And swipe to see a review from .binding who took the Workshop last year.

So far I’ve used 12/24 of my temperature quilt fabrics. The grays, purples and blues are the coldest (in that order) and the yellows are the warmest I’ve used so far. Hoping to start dipping into more warm temps soon!

This free pattern is available through the link in my profile and on my website. I’ve been enjoying tracking temps and seeing what color combinations are each day.

Updated from January 1, 2024 - March 14, 2024.

Two more days to save 20% on the Backcountry Star quilt pattern! And bonus if you order the printed pattern I’ll throw in a pin and sticker while supplies last.

Very surreal and humbling to see a quilt I made hanging among so many amazing quilts. I am so blown away that it is even at the show let along won a ribbon in the Modern Traditionalism category. 🥺 Thank you for the honor, !

! My name is Lindlee and I am excited to see all the quilts and quilt people so soon! ✈️ If you see me please don’t hesitate to say “hi”. I’ll be wandering around (maybe with a slight overwhelmed look on my face) hopefully later today (Thursday) and all day Friday and Saturday.

The creative direction behind these photos: “run away from me while holding the quilt above your head and moving your arms up and down”. 😂 My advice: take your quilt photos with a friend so you spend the whole time laughing at yourself.

This was one of those designs that sat on my computer for a while before I decided to do the math and bring it to life. There are lots of narrow strip sets and diamond points to match - but all worth it in my opinion.

I’m fairly new to the “modern quilting” world and the only quilt show I’ve entered and attended was at our local fair. (I only learned about and followed along with Quilt Con a couple years ago when it was in Phoenix.)

Around noon on October 31st I decided to enter 3 quilts to be juried into Quilt Con. I quickly took photos and wrote up my artist statements and hit submit. A few weeks later I was blown away that one was selected for the show!

I’m really looking forward to seeing “my people” this week and seeing all the amazing quilts in the show. If you are attending I hope to see you there!

This is one of my favorite pictures. I’m sure my dad thought it was weird when I said I was bringing a quilt when I came along to check cows but he didn’t say so. The cows definitely thought it was weird, but they posed nicely. 😂

The Commonwealth Star quilt pattern (my 4th pattern!) is 40% off with the discount code COMMON until next Tuesday.

My first (and favorite!) Commonwealth Star quilt that I made back in 2021. The pattern is still 40% for a few more days with the discount code COMMON.

The Commonwealth Star is somewhere between the Homestead Star and Big Sky Star as far as difficulty. So if you’ve made a handful of quilts (or the Homestead Star) then you are ready to make the Commonwealth Star. There are bias edges and points to match but they are worth it!

Use discount code COMMON to get the pattern 40% off this week!
