TA-DA to the TOPS!

Block of the Month Program· finished quilts· Modern Triangle Quilts

Ta-da to the tops popping up this past month in the community!

I get giddy when I see members finish tops of my designs because they make it so much more than what I created. The way I see it, they’ve added to the history of Aurora (and Solstice, Wildflower, Stargazer, Sparkler…), as each quilter makes it their own.

I say “I never thought of that” many times when I see them. See for yourself in the slideshow below. Subtle variations, bold statements and flaming colors!

What’s The Top Way to Make a Quilt?

Get some ta-da moments along the way.

Quilt making has many milestones, or as we like to say, ta-da moments. Our members encourage, share, help and celebrate each other. Making progress is what it’s all about. When you join the Make Modern Triangles Club, you get access to all of the BOM quilts, past and present.

We’re a rolling calendar of quilts. One is always live – you can jump into any time – or make a different BOM quilt inside the Club whenever you want.

While the Aurora BOM is wrapping up, Echo BOM is just getting started.

Radial symmetrical designs boat my floaties…cannot get enough of them. But then, Echo happened.

A vertically oriented quilt with mirrored and flipped blocks. (What did I eat for breakfast???) I had to see it through and I’m super excited for you to make it. WEEEEEEE! See what you can make when you join.

IT’s TIME FOR TA-DA for thE TOPS SLIDESHOW!

Sneak peak…(not a UFO).

👉 Sometimes it seems like your only moment of peace throughout the day.
👉 Sometimes it’s much deeper than that.
👉 Sometimes it’s a way to make something meaningful for someone you love.
👉 Sometimes it’s learning a new skill and surprising yourself along the way.
👉 Sometimes it’s simply the joy of making something with your own hands in a world that moves very fast.
👉 And for some people, we may never know the real “why” behind their quilting journey. 

But one thing I do know is that it’s never been just quilting for many of us. 🫶

And if you’d love to quilt alongside a community of supportive quilters from all over, at every skill level, the Make Modern Triangles Club might be exactly what you’re looking for. ✨

Because it’s not just quilting here.

We support each other. We share our progress. And we celebrate every single “ta-da!” moment right along with you. 🎉

My work-in-progress pile is getting to the point w My work-in-progress pile is getting to the point where I am not allowing myself to start anything new until I finish something else. 😅

I love starting things. I love the fabric pull and the “ooh what if…” energy and that first seam where everything still feels full of possibility.

But lately, I’ve been looking at my stack of half-done quilts and realizing… I don’t actually want more beginnings. I want more endings.

I want that moment when the blocks finally hit the design wall, and the entire pattern starts to come to life. When I step back and think, “Wow. I made that!” 

And I have a feeling a few of you know exactly what I mean. 🧵✨

Tell me… are you a serial starter, or are you in your “let’s finish what we began” era too?

The best way to learn is to just start. 👇 So many The best way to learn is to just start. 👇

So many people think things like...

“That’s way too detailed.” 
“I could never make that.”
“I don’t have time for that.”
“I’m not creative enough.”

And every single year, we have complete beginners and first-time quilters inside the Make Modern Triangles Club that make their very own quilt from start to finish. 🪄

All of my programs are accessible for brand-new quilters to learn and sew along, so that they end up with something beautiful that they made themselves. 

And the best part, is that you’re not alone. You’ll be learning and sewing alongside a community of ALL different skill-levels, and you’ll have the entire group to support you along the way. 🫶

so if you’re someone who has been thinking about quilting but you think you couldn’t do it, or it looks too hard, I challenge you to just start. You never know what you might create.

We all have that one technique we avoid. For me... We all have that one technique we avoid. For me... It’s needle turn appliqué! 🤭

Maybe it’s curved piecing... or resizing a block because the math (duh!). Or maybe it’s that pile of scraps that continues to go untouched because you’re afraid you might waste them. 👀

What if you could conquer all of that in just one week?

The Quilters Paradise Summit (QP26) is coming up March 9-16, and I am so excited to be a part of it! It is the biggest online event for quilters who want to level up their creative journey.

During the online summit, you’ll learn how to: 

✅ Resize ANY quilt block using a simple grid method (no more guessing!).
✅ Conquer curves using the “boob and bra” analogy (yes, really!) for perfect Drunkard’s Paths.
✅ Master Serger Quilting to piece, bind, and finish quilts faster.
✅ Design custom quilt labels using free tools like Canva.
✅ Transform scraps into “bricks,” “crumbs,” and stunning art pieces.

And the best part? It’s all coming to you FREE during the summit! 🎟️

I’ll be teaching alongside 25+ incredible experts in the quilting industry. Comment “SUMMIT” to reserve your spot for free! ✨
