Welcome!

Hi, I'm Sharla! I first put foot to pedal when I was seven years old in the beginning sewing project in 4-H. Soon I was crafting clothing for myself throughout Jr. and Sr. high school, even making my bridesmaids' dresses for my wedding. But I was in my 30's before I discovered quilting and thus started my love affair with textiles and how to cut them up and sew them back together - something my hubby has never understood! My love of fabric (and profession in economic development) led me to open a quilt shop, where I honed my quilting skills, began teaching classes and designing patterns. Now retired, I have continued to design quilting patterns as a Moda Bake Shop Chef and have been published in four Moda Bake Shop books. And now, I'm thrilled to share my patterns with you here at Thistle Thicket Studio!

Availability: InStock

I’m so excited to reintroduce you to Dayna! I originally designed the Dayna quilt pattern for the book Moda Bake Shop: Did Someone Say Cake? and it was featured on the cover of the book! Needless to say, I was thrilled to see my quilt become a covergirl! The book is out of print (so sad) but now Dayna is available as a single pattern (yay!).

The Dayna quilt uses a package of 10” precut squares to make the fabric selection easier. And, it features my two favorite blocks - stars and chains! I think stars and chains make any quilt fun, just like my daughter (who the quilt is named after) makes every moment with her fun. And sewing this quilt is just as fun as Dayna too!.
