Showcasing Turn Back Time and Sally’s Stitches

This week is also the perfect opportunity to showcase Betsy’s Turn Back Time Sampler Quilt and her latest fabric collection, Sally’s Stitches.

• Turn Back Time Sampler reflects Betsy’s love of history and storytelling through quilts. It is a quilt full of movement, balance, and charm, with blocks that feel as enduring as the traditions that inspired them.

• Sally’s Stitches is Betsy’s newest fabric line with Moda. With its beautiful reproduction prints and a palette that feels both classic and fresh, it’s a collection that invites you to explore heritage-inspired quilting in new ways.

Both the quilt and the fabrics remind us why Betsy’s work continues to resonate with quilters around the world: her designs connect the past to the present, encouraging us to preserve tradition while making something uniquely our own.
