"Haberdashery" quilt pattern

12/30/2024

This pattern is Haberdashery, by Lori Holt of Bee in My Bonnet Co. Someone gave it to me, and I can't find it on her website (though it looks like it was part of her currently unavailable "Fashion Fun" collection), so I don't know if you can buy it; it might have been an exclusive in Fat Quarter Shop's Sew Sampler subscription box. The repeating motif of hats is darling, and simple enough to be a palate cleanser between more complicated projects.

This is a quick project: a few nights of cutting and counting squares until I have enough; a few nights of assembly, and the top is now tucked away in a bag of to-be-quilted items. I don't have much to say about the sewing. However, I'd like to honor Lori Holt's wish from her "About Me" page on her website: "My wish is that my designs . . . will inspire others to create and will also instill the desire to pass down the valuable lessons of days gone by taught to us by our mothers and grandmothers."

Another baby is joining my family! My previous nieces are my sister’s children, but this niece-to-come is my brother’s. For my other nieces, I’ve been making “big girl quilts” when they are a bit older, but in this case, as I haven’t met my sister-in-law yet, I decide to make a baby quilt to welcome the mother into the family as well as to wrap and cherish the baby once she’s born. My brother told me his wife’s favorite color is lilac.
