New Pattern Release for 2026
LUMI — Quilt sizes is 70" x 87"
"Lumi", the Finnish word for snow, reflects both my heritage and the season that surrounds us here in Canada, where winter blankets the world in soft, shimmering white. The blocks in this pattern are designed to echo the delicate geometry of snowflakes, each one unique and full of charm. Paired with the Frosted Wishes collection by Island Batik—with its gentle textures and beautiful variations of blue, Lumi captures the serenity, sparkle, and spirit of a fresh snowfall.
