Edyta Sitar of Laundry Basket Quilts is one of our all-time favorites. <3 She has been an Aurifil Designer for years and has been sharing her love of our thread with fans, students, and peers for as long as we can remember. Edyta has impeccable taste and her designs are beloved worldwide. We love working with her on collections, both because she always selects a stunning range of colors and because she does so much with her threads that each box functions like a full on thread education.
Her latest collection features a lineup of reds, pinks, and Edyta’s go-to neutrals, absolutely perfect for Valentine’s Day. The colors coordinate with her Little Sweethearts fabric collection (Andover) and were selected specifically to be used in making the quilts in her book, Sew in Love.
To make things even more fabulous, Edyta partnered with Fat Quarter Shop for a wonderful Block of the Month YouTube series, to give us tips, support, and encouragement along the way! It is the best kind of sew along, led by the designer herself. <3

EDYTA on SEW IN LOVE
What brings you the most joy in sharing your patterns with the world?
Seeing my students completing beautiful quilts and dreaming of new quilting projects.
How did you go about selecting threads for complementary collection?
I wanted to have threads that give a delicate accent to my appliqué silhouettes, that’s why I choose a 50wt thread to stitch around the applique in my quilts.
Do you have a favorite block from the book?
My favorite block is the flower “He loves me, He loves me not” block – I just love making this block with our templates.
