Double Time Quilt Along!
One of the most magical things about quilting is the way it can bring people together. The Double Time Quilt, which started as a spontaneous project during one of our winter getaways, is a perfect example of this. We recently released the Double Time Quilt PDF pattern as the first digital pattern from the workroom. To celebrate this launch we are inviting you to join us for our first Quilt-Along in November!
The Story Behind the Double Time Quilt
This pattern has its roots in a special Handmade Getaway years ago, where Katherine and I shared fabrics to create matching quilts. It was the beginning of something truly special. Read the full story here!
Join the Double Time Quilt-Along This November!
We’re excited to continue the tradition of quilting together with our upcoming Double Time Quilt-Along this November! This is the perfect opportunity to make your own Double Time Quilt, whether you’re a seasoned quilter or trying out this pattern for the first time.
During the Quilt-Along, we’ll share progress, tips, and tutorials to guide you through each step of the project. The best part? You can participate from anywhere! We’ll be gathering virtually to share our work, celebrate each other’s progress, and, of course, connect as a community of makers.

You can also dive into your stash or check out some of our curated fabric bundles—perfect for creating your own unique version of the quilt.

Final Thoughts
As we get ready for the Quilt-Along, I’m reflecting on the many projects that have grown out of our getaways—this quilt being one of the most meaningful. I’m really looking forward to seeing your quilts come together, but even more so, to sharing the process of making them alongside each of you.
