Hey there!

Welcome to Wren Collective. I’m so excited that you decided to stop by! I am a modern quilter based in Omaha, Nebraska. Besides quilting, I enjoy family movie nights, reading mystery novels, and waking up early to a quiet house. In my spare time, you can usually find me microwaving coffee from earlier in the morning and lint rolling thread off of my pants.

The Aftershock sew along begins on Monday! I just finished pre-washing my fabric in preparation, which got me thinking: are you team pre-wash or team no-wash? Side note: if you’re wanting to make this exact version, I believe that @lambandloomfabrics still has some kits left!

I waited for the perfect opportunity to use this @missmelodymiller backing, and this speckled Aftershock was just the ticket! It has always been one of my favorite prints. I am quickly depleting my quilt backing stash—what are some favorites you are loving?

Aftershock includes instructions for both a 7FQ version as well as a two-color version. On the blog today, I wrote a quick tutorial on how to modify the pattern to make each row a different color. I chose 14 speckled fabrics for this version, and I love how it turned out! I used one of my all time favorite @rubystarsociety prints for the back and did a pop of rainbow binding. It’s a really fun one! (And a huge thank you to my bestie @autumnwaldman for snapping some photos in the parking lot while we waited for our sushi table to open up)

It is rare for me to be adventurous with my binding, but for my all-speckled version of Aftershock I had to do a pop of rainbow on the binding. I love how it turned out! What about you—do you play it safe or go bold with quilt bindings?

I posted a photo of my OG Rainbow Falls top the other day to let you know paper patterns are coming soon. Several people commented or sent messages inquiring about these colors so that they could make their own Rainbow Falls. Good news: @cottoneer has restocked a bundle of FQ to make one in this color way! They are live on her site now!

I’m working on getting a blog post up on how to make this modified Aftershock before the sew along starts! Blog posts (well, everything really) takes me much longer with a baby in the house! A baby who is now cruising along the furniture. Slow down, sir!

Aftershock sew along begins August 2–there is a link in my bio to sign up!

Breaking news: paper patterns will be available in the near future! My mom can soon stop lamenting “I wish your patterns came as paper copies.” If you’re someone who would want to stock any of my patterns, I would love it if you let me know so I can get a better idea of how many I should order. Happy Monday!

For those who plan out Instagram posts ahead of time, which platform do you use? Pros? Cons? General thoughts? I think it’s about time for me to start planning these ahead. I often forget to post anything until I’m climbing into bed at night and then think “hmm...ok tomorrow I will post that.” That cycle gets repeated a few times until I finally remember to post during the day (today is that day, yay!)

I’m writing up a tutorial on a modified Aftershock using these beautiful @rubystarsociety speckled fabrics. Look for it on the blog soon!

Aftershock tester showcase, day 2. I am truly blown away by all of these! Makers are tagged in each photo as well as listed below. Go show them some love! I hope you are all enjoying your weekend; I am getting ready to power wash bubble residue off of the garage floor, so that should be a good time.
