Second Star to the Right: Designing Neverland

In this jam-packed session, we catch up with our friend, John MacPhail from Art East Quilting Co. and we’re dishing all the details on Art East’s stunning new Peter Pan quilt, 2nd Star to the Right. We talk all about the design hurdles of mixing character scales and those gorgeous dawn and blue colorways! We also hear about the incredible collaboration with Riley Blake, the secret behind those collector-quality book boxes, and why starting with the face of a block is a total game-changer for motivation. 

The inspiration doesn’t stop there as we look ahead to a busy fall featuring a massive 9-patch sew-along with Gnome Angel and three brand-new pattern drops. From discussing all the amazing quilts to dreaming about a potential 2029 retreat on Cape Breton Island, we cover the full spectrum of the quilting life. We even take a lighthearted turn to chat about custom pet portraits and Puffin Boots. It’s an episode full of perseverance, creativity, and plenty of "Inappropriate Quilter" spirit!
