Oh Scrap ✂️❤️Valentine edition💕

Step by step, scrap by scrap — this little heart block comes together using pieces you already have on hand.

That’s the whole spirit of this series: play a little, sew a little, and let those leftover bits turn into something sweet instead of staying tucked away.

Swipe through to see each step and try one with your own scraps tonight. #ohscrap #nighthawkquilting #sewing #valentinesday #heart

Cold outside. Gray skies. Snow in the forecast.
 Perfect excuse to stay in and start a new quilt.

Lunar Frost was made for slow sewing days and stacks of fabric you’ve been saving for “something special.”

Consider this your sign to start the next quilt. ❄️

Lunar Frost, Available now on my website! 🎉

Confession: binding is my least favorite part.

So a lot of our quilts… just live without it for a while. Or a long while. Sometimes forever.

They go straight into rotation—movie nights, couch naps, kid forts—and we use them long before they’re technically “finished.”

Maybe that’s actually the point anyway. Quilts meant to be used, not waiting in a pile for perfect timing.

Tell me I’m not the only one with a stack waiting on binding? 👀

🔥Those quiet mornings I was talking about…

Today is one of them. It’s currently 3 degrees.

Snow fell again yesterday. We took the kids to the biggest hill in town for sledding. Lots of giggles. Fearful close calls with trees. Many, many more memories stored up for future laughs and happiness.

Whatever you are up to today, I hope it’s something that brings happiness, maybe giggles, and future smiles 🥰💕

Did you see the surprise block at the end?

Oh Srap - sewing after dark makes for less than ideal photos. But it’s real life. Mine. Most days, that’s the only time for sewing. And it’s glorious. Because the rest of the day is filled with amazing love and laughs, and sometimes tears, with the people I love most. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

does every quilt need a tiny helper?? 🐧

When your youngest insists the penguin needs a glamour shot, you don’t say no.

This is the part I love most—when the pattern stops being an idea and starts feeling real.

This pattern was designed with softness in mind—subtle contrast, steady repetition, and blocks that feel balanced rather than busy.

My next pattern was inspired by quiet winter light. That soft, hazy morning sun just peeping over the horizon.

The moment when everything still feels calm.

Warm florals, dusky pinks, and grounded neutrals felt like the right way to tell that story.

This one feels like it belongs in a well-loved home. ☀️

🪴The kind with plants in every window and music playing in the background. 🎶

Knitted Blooms paired with the Loopy Daisy pantograph brings soft movement and texture, while earthy greens, warm yellows, golden oranges, and pops of coral pink channel all the best retro 70s vibes.

Cozy, nostalgic, and made to be used.

The request for this quilt was simple: warm and snugly 🤗
Wovens on top, cuddle on the back, and bamboo batting in the middle for the softest drape and maximum snuggle factor 👌🏻 Finished with the Diamond Drift pantograph—just enough crosshatching to add movement without feeling too dense. A perfect match.

The staircase reveal never gets old. 🪜✨ It’s how every quilt ends, and this Twilight Spark finish feels especially meaningful.

Every quilt has a story, but this one holds my heart. 💫

This one was made for my mom—who gives so much care to our family and has been waiting a long time for a quilt of her own. I pulled from some of my most-loved, long-hoarded fabrics, and honestly, I can’t imagine a better use for them.

Twilight Spark is one of my favorites to make. Fat quarters only, no background fabric or yardage required—just let the fabrics do the talking.

The pattern is available now if you’re ready to start your own. ✨ Link in my bio

I’ve been soaking up all the Christmas feels lately—snowy mornings, twinkle lights, kids negotiating who gets to place the tree topper this year, and tucked in between all of that is the deep gratitude I feel every time a quilt comes through my door.

Quilters are generous people. You trust me with your work, your time, your memories, and your vision. It’s never lost on me, especially this time of year. Every project really is a gift I get to unwrap one stitch at a time.

If you’re hoping to have your next quilt longarmed—holiday or not—I’d love to help bring it to life. My schedule is open, and you can find details, pricing, and pantograph options on my website. Let’s make something beautiful together. 🎄✨

🎄Need a quick Christmas gift?

Jennifer @penelopehandmade recently spotlighted wholecloth quilts and I’m so excited to be part of it. ✨

This throw-size beauty uses Fableism’s woven goodness + the Lilac Lace pantograph, and that deluxe loft batting gave it the dreamiest texture.

Wholecloth quilts truly let the quilting shine—and they make incredible gifts.

If you’re thinking about sending one in, my Longarm queue is always available!

A break from Christmas sewing means I finally get to share this quilt that came through my studio recently.

When I found out Kandi @kandijanke was sending a Granny Patch my way, I knew it would be fun to quilt… but opening the box and seeing this color palette in person was something else.

Warm golds, soft pinks, lilacs, bright reds, that unexpected pop of aqua—every bit of it was fabulous!

Quilts like this remind me why I love what I do: getting to see how different makers interpret the same pattern in completely unique ways.

For the quilting, Fizz give those tiny squares just enough movement to feel cohesive without taking over.

I’m genuinely grateful every time someone trusts me with their work. If you’ve been thinking about sending a quilt in, I’d love to help you finish yours too. 🤍

Quilt maker: Kandi @kandijanke
Pattern: Granny Patch @loandbeholdstitchery  Pantograph: Fizz by @longarmleague  Quilting: me @nighthawk_quilting 🪡

Stepping away from Christmas blocks for a minute because THIS quilt deserves the spotlight✨

I’m still thinking about this gorgeous quilt Mary @maryb_eths stitched up using my Twilight Spark pattern, and her fabric choices are just spot on! Thoughtful, balanced, and perfect for cozy fall snuggles.🍂

I’m endlessly thankful for quilters like Mary who bring their magic to my patterns and trust me with their quilts. 🤍

Pattern + longarm quilting details are in the shop if you want to make your own or send a quilt my way.

🧩 Another piece of the Christmas quilt puzzle. Soft greens, tiny reds, and the clean points that make my heart happy.

Slowly building this quilt one tiny piece at a time. ❤️💚

Posting this a day late, because yesterday got away from me.

🦊 It’s simple, built from scraps, and that little fox in the middle feels like a quiet reminder that it’s okay to move at a human pace ❄️

☃️Day 10: done and dusted!

P.S. I made this reel without my glasses on. So when I was searching for little characters to add to the text, I thought a little gingerbread man would be perfect.

Typed in “ginger” and a wonky little gingerbread man appeared….or at least that’s what I thought..😅

I went to add that little cutie to my caption and realized it’s not a little man, just a wonky ginger root! 😆 Oops!! 🫚❄️

@september_stitches this one is for you! Not a wonky seam this time, just a wonky ginger root man! 🙄😆

🎄🤶Day 9 complete!

I was worried about these tiny pieces…even thought I might need to glue baste a few like I did with the candle block...

Thankfully, these sewed up really easy 😅 It took a bit longer, but I love the end result!

❔🎄Who has their tree up and decorated?? ✨

If you have been watching my stories, you’ll know this was actually the block from yesterday. I just didn’t have time to get it posted before my eyelids were slammed shut 😴

🎄On the sixth day of quilting, my fabric gave to me…

the cutest little block I ever did see ✨☺️

Block 5 nearly broke me.

Some blocks just test your patience. Too many tiny pieces. Fabric choices that don’t quite work. And the moment where you start wondering if it’s even worth finishing.

But then you do. And somehow, it still belongs. ✨

❔Tell me — do you keep the “meh” blocks or remake them? 🎄

🎄Day 4 ✨

There’s something quietly comforting about opening this book each day, flipping to a new block, and knowing exactly what comes next—fabric, rotary cutter, a few good stitches.

The colors are cheerful, the blocks are tiny (not sure yet how I feel about that), and somehow it all feels familiar—like the kind of Christmas we remember from old family photos.

I don’t know if it’s the nostalgia or just the rhythm of sewing something small every day, but it’s turning out to be my favorite part of November so far.

🤶 If you want to sew along with me, I have one copy of this book in my shop! 🎄

👊🏻 Block #3. Done. More candy.

This block reminds me of my childhood. Growing up, there was a sweet old couple who attended the same church as us.

Fred and MaryEllen Star✨

I mean, even their names are the sweetest. ☺️

Anywho…each Sunday, my brother and I would search for Mr. Fred because he always had candy for us. Peppermints, werthers originals, strawberry candies, smarties, tootsie pops….you name it, he had them!

This little peppermint twist reminds me of those two and the joy we found as kids in simplicity. ✨

P.S. Can you tell I did the voice over in two different locations? One at home. One waiting in the school carpool line.

🧐Any guesses which one came first??

✨Block #4, and it finally felt easy. 🙌

This one stitched up like a dream — gentle curves, no bulky seams, and instructions that just made sense. And these little improv stars are winning me over✨. Thanks for a fun block @kindredquiltco 💪🏼👊🏻💕
