  • Flora from Mansfield Park Table Runner Kit by Riley Blake Designs

    February 25, 2026 /

    Hi everyone! Earlier this month, I showed my Mansfield Park Gate Quilt Kit by Riley Blake Designs. In addition to the quilt kit, I also purchased the Mansfield Park Table Runner Kit. It is also by Riley Blake Designs and is part of their Jane Austen at Home collection. I liked this kit, it’s design, and the fabric designs, so I decided to purchase it. I think out of all the kits I own in the Jane Austen collection, this one is my favorite. I like the flower pattern. I fully intended to publish this post in which I talk about this kit earlier this month, but I didn’t. So,…

    Hi everyone! Last year, I decided to buy some of Riley Blake Designs’ Jane Austen collection. The collection is a quilting fabric collection inspired by Jane Austen and her novels. The collection includes fat quarters, pre cut strips, and quilt kits. I already own three of the kits in the collection. (I talked about them here, here, here, and here) I like them a lot and planned on not purchasing any more kits from the collection. (They can be really expensive, hard to find, and I don’t always like the designs they create) Last year, after searching for the kits to make sure I really don’t want to own them,…

  • Jane Austen at Home by Riley Blake Designs Sense and Sensibility Barton Cottage Quilt Kit

    November 28, 2023 /

    Hi everyone! Over a week ago, I published multiple posts about the Jane Austen at Home quilt kits I own. These kits are from Riley Blake Designs and are mostly inspired by fabric used in a coverlet Jane Austen and two of her family members created. Currently, I own all the kits except one, the Pride and Prejudice kit. Even though I mentioned this in previous posts, I have no current plans to make the kits. Despite this, I am very happy to own them and enjoy the place the hold in my fabric and sewing collection. The kit I will talk about in this post is the Sense and…

  • Jane Austen at Home by Riley Blake Designs Pillow Cover Kit

    November 16, 2023 /

    Hi everyone! Today, I’m continuing a series of posts about the Jane Austen at Home by Riley Blake Designs kits I own. I don’t own all the kits, but I own most of them. In a previous post, I talked about the Coverlet Kit I own. I also talked about all the kits I own in the collection in a post here. For this post, I will be talking about the Pillow Cover Kit I own. I purchased this kit in order to make a throw pillow cover to go alongside the coverlet. The pillow cover kit is not exactly the same as the coverlet, but it is inspired by…

    Hi everyone! In September, I published a post about the Jane Austen at Home Collection by Riley Blake Designs. Even though I showed off all the things I own from the collection in that post, I still wanted to write more detailed posts about each quilt kit I own. I planned on doing this earlier this month, but things didn’t work out like I planned. Instead, I’m publishing the posts now! The first kit I wanted to talk about in more detail is the Coverlet Quilt Kit. This kit creates something called a coverlet. (I’m still going to address this kit as a quilt kit for the rest of this…

    Hi everyone! For the past few months, things have been very busy for me. Since it was so busy, I wasn’t able to sew nearly as much as I planned to. Instead, I was able to begin some house diy projects! Sadly, nothing is finished enough to show off… nor do I probably want to show off online at all! Instead, I decided to talk about something I started to look into purchasing earlier this year: Quilt kits. Since I’m so busy, I thought purchasing a quilt kit and making it would be more convent than going to a store and picking out the fabric. I still want to return…
