I just released a Four Leaf Clover pattern if you want to try sewing yourself some luck! duringquiettime.com/2026/03/a-lu...

It's week 3 in the Shuffle Sewalong. This is not my final layout--I am just pinning my triangles up as I make them and will start moving them around soon!! duringquiettime.com/2026/01/shuf...

I designed a new Baby Chick block to coordinate with my Petal + Stem book blocks. It also works with my Easter Egg PDF as I photographed it here! duringquiettime.com/product/baby... duringquiettime.com/product/east... There are so many cute possibilities!

Gentle Fade is also hanging at QuiltCon right now! Wish I was there and not here in the snow!

My Redacted Quilt is hanging in the negative space category at QuiltCon 2026. You can read about it on my website: duringquiettime.com/2025/06/reda...

It's week 2 in the Shuffle Sewalong and we are sewing 2 of the Triangle 2 templates. Join us! duringquiettime.com/2026/01/shuf...

These are my two triangles from week 1 of the Shuffle Sewalong. It's not too late to join us if you are interested!

The Shuffle Sewalong starts Friday! I will be making a 2 color version with Pure Solids Plum Preserve and Cinnamon. There's still time to sign up! duringquiettime.com/2026/01/shuf... #quilting #paperpiecing #modernquilt

Avocado Toast was finished last fall. I was working with a bunch of sketches in EQ8 and one reminded me of an avocado. Then I decided to actually design an avocado. Next thing you know, I was designing toast too. #avocadotoastquilt #duringquiettimepattern #modernquilt #foundationpaperpiecing

I had some note cards sets made for my shop using digital renditions of a few of my quilt designs. Here's one of my Flourish Quilt. I enjoyed packing them up into little bundles of prettiness! duringquiettime.etsy.com/listing/4450...

My Shuffle Quilt Pattern and sewalong sign ups are now available! We will be sewing 16 unique FPP modern triangle designs together over the next 4 months. Read more here: duringquiettime.com/2026/01/shuf...

Shuffle Quilt photos are done and so is the pattern! Sign ups will open on Tuesday and I will share lots more information then too. #shufflesewalong #shufflequilt #duringquiettimepattern #modernquilt #sewalong #quilting

Do you sew when times are stressful? I do. I think creating is as important now as ever. My new sewalong is coming soon and I hope it provides a welcome distraction. www.tiktok.com/@duringquiet...

Here's a sneak peek of my next sewalong quilt! It's super versatile, stash friendly and, of course, foundation paper pieced. I have a new account on Instagram @amyfriend.studio. I will post here too because I have no more trust! #quilting #foundationpaperpiecing #duringquiettimepattern

I was asked about the hanging system that I am using for my quilts. I decided to make a video explaining the system. It became a family affair with my son filming and my husband had to demonstrate all the "up high" parts because I can't reach, even on the stool!

‘Luck runs in circles. Horseshoes catch it’ 🐴🧲 Here’s my first set of #tellmeastoryblockswap blocks for 2026 Swap hosted by @duringquiettime.bsky.social Go to her website for more info. #foundationpaperpiecing

My husband gave me this glass cloche. I started researching what plants I could grow in my studio window and became convinced that I would kill whatever I tried to grow in it. So I made a bundle of fabric using solids that had sun damage in parts (can't even tell!).

This morning the sky was the colors of this half yard bundle I put together, inspired by just that kind of winter sky. Here's the listing, if you are inspired to create with it! duringquiettime.etsy.com/listing/4400...

I am going to start posting here regularly since I unfairly lost my other social media accounts. I thought I would start by sharing two quilts I currently have on display in my gallery, Sunspots on the left and Briar on the right. The pattern for Sunspots is available in my shops!

Meta permanently removed my account. I can't believe it.

Meta has suspended me again and I can't begin to think of any reason at all. This is so frustrating.

My @duringquiettime account has been shut down by Meta on Instagram and Facebook and I am appealing. If you are looking for me and can't find me, that's why!

Just a small piece I am working on today. I love the soft neutrals.

Thank you QuiltCon Magazine for including Dovetails in the "From the Show" section of the magazine! It's opposite a clever design by @betsy-vinegrad.bsky.social that I love. Digital copies are now available. #quiltcon #quiltconmagazine #quiltcon2025 #dovetails

Stitching straight lines on my Gulls Quilt and trying to stay away from the news to maintain a little sanity. #quiltsky #modernquilt #durinquiettimepattern

I'd like to share my recent quilt finish; a two color quilt. It's fpp like virtually all of my work. It's pictured here beside the Merrimack River with ice shards and the historic Rocks Village Bridge. #durinquiettimepattern #modernquilt #fpp #wovenquilt #foundationpaperpiecing #quiltsky

Reimagine your stash with me! The sew along starts Feb. 7th and the pattern is available now! Read all about it here: duringquiettime.com/2025/01/lets... #quiltsky #duringquiettimepattern #reimaginequilt #reimaginesewalong #fpp #foundationpaperpiecing #modernquilt

I will be starting my stash friendly sew along soon! This is my Reimagine Quilt. Let's reimagine our fabric stash. #quiltsky

I'm so happy that I was able to finish this holiday version of my Next Door quilt while the decorations were up downtown. Though, we completely froze our fingers off because it was in the teens! duringquiettime.com/2024/12/next...

The orchard on my street has a wide assortment of wreaths, trees, berries, and greens right now along with this reindeer who was just begging to be photographed with my Sugar Cookie Christmas Tree Quilt! This picture just feels joyful to me. duringquiettime.com/product/suga...

I'm feeling really lucky that these 4 quilts were accepted into QuiltCon today. I so wish that they would accept everyone's quilts and have a massive exhibit!

My final house is done! This is the Spanish Revival. Now to sew the top together! duringquiettime.com/product/span... #quiltsky

As it turns out, I have no self control and I have decided to finish this year, not next! This is the Triple Decker house. duringquiettime.com/product/new-...

I made one more holiday house block. I couldn't help myself once I found the Rifle Paper Co print to fussy cut for the windows. This is the Baltimore Rowhouse from my Nextdoor BOM from 2020, Christmas version! #quiltsky

Beautiful flowers from my mom for my bday yesterday. These are colors I use in lots of my quilts!

My holiday version of my Next Door BOM is up on my design wall but I think the other three house blocks might have to wait until next year. I am still searching for the perfect fabrics. #quiltsky #fussycutting
