Sewn Modern Quilt Patterns — Sewn Quilt Patterns

Hello, friends! I'm popping in for an updated list of the best gifts for the quilter or sewist in your life. Let's get to it! Stocking Stuffers: All of these can be found in my Amazon storefront.

A quilter can never have too many of these!  Another idea would be to grab a few of these small items, drop them into one of my sewing mugs and...
