The joy is in the journey. ✨ There’s something tr The joy is in the journey. ✨

There’s something truly so special about making these quilts. 

👉 Yes, it takes a long time. 
👉 Yes, it can be hard sometimes. 
👉 Yes, you will make mistakes. 

Sometimes you won’t feel inspired or motivated to sit down at your sewing machine. 

But while anyone can just go buy a quilt at a store, not everyone can make a beautiful handmade quilt that will last a lifetime and mean so much more. And when you get to experience that feeling that only quilters know when you are making a beautiful handmade quilt and get to give it to someone that you love, it will all be worth it. 🙌

That is a feeling like no other. Quilters, I know you know what i’m talking about! 

If you’ve been curious about getting started quilting, comment ‘FREE’ and i’ll send you the link to my free class to get started. 💌

TODAY is the last chance to get in on the presale TODAY is the last chance to get in on the presale special for the NEW Alchemy block of the month!!! ✨

Sometimes when inspiration hits, you just have to run with it. And that is exactly what I did when I designed and made this quilt, so that I could share another block of the month with you this year! 

The Alchemy will be a bit more challenging than my other programs, but with freezer paper piecing being the main technique, it is still totally doable! 🙌

And of course, just like all of my other block of the month programs, you’ll get all the step-by-step instructions and video tutorials to make sure that you succeed. You’ll also get to connect and sew with the entire community to celebrate your progress and get support when you need it! 

Comment ‘ALCHEMY’ if you want to get in on the presale before it’s gone! 💕

I always tell people that if you really want to ge I always tell people that if you really want to get started with quilting, you can buy everything that you need at Walmart. 🙌

👉 You don’t need the newest, fanciest sewing machine to get started. 
👉 You don’t need to order the latest, high-end fabric to practice with. 
👉 You don’t need a bunch of expensive tools to make something beautiful. 

And soooo many people don’t know this, but oftentimes local libraries offer sewing machines for rent or for use in the library, so if you want to try quilting without investing in your own machine, it’s a great option to explore to get you started! 🪡

So if you really want to give quilting a shot, head to your nearest supermarket, grab a few affordable fabrics and tools to start with, sign up for my free class, and see if it’s something that you like! Comment ‘FREE’ to sign up for the free class! 💌

Presale for the NEW Alchemy block of the month is Presale for the NEW Alchemy block of the month is LIVE!!! 🌟

I am sooo excited to make this quilt with you, and I can’t wait to see all of the beautiful color and fabric choices that you come up with!!! 

If you’ve been around for a while, you know that I LOVE the planning and picking phase of starting a new project. 

For a rainbow version of the Alchemy, it turns out we can use fat quarters! 

A fat quarter-friendly project just makes choosing fabrics so easy! Fat quarters are like potato chips, you can’t just have one... You simply collect them. 🧐 So if you are anything like me, you already have a stash of fat-quarters that you can choose from! 

If you want to get a head start in choosing your own fat quarter rainbow, you will need 12 different rainbow colors, and then you’ll need 2 fat quarters for each color, a light and a bright, for a total of 24 fat quarters. 🌈

Comment ‘ALCHEMY’ to join in on this block of the month program! We start in June. ✨
