BIG ALCHEMY BOM STARTS AND DUTCH SUMMER PROGRESS

When I’m not sewing a quilt, I’m thinking about sewing a quilt. And when I’m sewing a quilt, I’m thinking about a design for another quilt. When I’m designing a quilt, I’m itching to start another quilt project.

And that’s how we have two BOM programs in full swing at the same time.

Yeah, I wondered for three seconds if this was too much.

Nah. I couldn’t wait any longer to share it with everyone! I couldn’t wait six more months for 2027 to start. Not possible.

Because I knew this would happen: Our Make Modern Triangles members would run with it, like Jennifer L. did.

Pretty magical, right?!

A brand new member, Dottie L., learned how to freezer paper piece and she jumped right into Dutch Summer BOM in June. Get outta Dottie’s way, she’s running with scissors and aims to sew up a storm.

I’ve been teaching quilting for over a decade, and I’ve been teaching quilting for over a decade, and have been quilting myself for over two. 👇

There are a few things I really stand by when it comes to quilting, but one of them has nothing to do with actually quilting at all. 

It has everything to do with taking time for yourself. ✨

Having a hobby and a passion for something like quilting gives you such a beautiful way to take time just for yourself. 

And the hill I will die on is that if there is something like quilting that you want to learn, no one is going to make the time for you. You just have to take the time for yourself to play, be creative, and explore. 

You deserve some time just for you, but you are the only one who can take it. 

Comment ‘FREE’ if you’re ready to give yourself an hour, learn to make a modern triangle block, and play for a while. I’ll send you a link to sign up for my free class. 💌

Quiltaholic symptoms include: having multiple quil Quiltaholic symptoms include: having multiple quilt projects in progress at all times, having a camera roll FULL of random photos that you took for ‘inspiration’, never passing up an opportunity to get a new bundle of fabric, and believing there is always room for one more project in the pile! 

If you’re a quiltaholic who wants access to an entire library of block of the month programs that you can start and finish whenever you please, plus workshops, classes, and a private community of other quilters, comment ‘CLUB’ and I’ll send you the details to join us! 🤓

You can have years of experience and still watch a You can have years of experience and still watch another quilter do something and think, WAIT. You can do it like THAT?! 😅

Those little discoveries can completely change the way you sew. They can make something easier, spark an idea for a new project, or give you the confidence to finally try something you’ve been avoiding.

And that’s exactly the kind of experience we’re creating at the Quilters Paradise Summit Fall 2026.

I’ll be co-hosting this FREE online quilting event September 21–28, where you’ll have the opportunity to learn new techniques, discover beautiful projects, and connect with fellow quilters.

You might leave with the idea for your next quilt... or discover an entirely new way to make it. 🧵✨

I’ve been quilting for 15 years, and I have failed I’ve been quilting for 15 years, and I have failed PLENTY of times. 👇

I’ve made things I didn’t like. I’ve cut fabric wrong. I’ve had ideas that worked beautifully in my head and... not so beautifully once I started sewing them together.

But all of those failed have been how I learned.

I think sometimes we put so much pressure on ourselves to make something perfect that we forget we’re allowed to just play.

👉 You’re allowed to mess up the fabric.
👉 You’re allowed to make something ugly.
👉 You’re allowed to try something you’re not so sure about.

Because the alternative is always wondering what it would be like to make your own quilt or to try the new thing and never actually finding out. 

I’d rather take the chance, and let myself fail a few times. 

I’ve got the perfect place for you to start with a free class where you have nothing to lose other than an hour of your time and a teeny bit of fabric, but you have a whole new hobby and quilty world to gain. 

Comment ‘FREE’ to take the class. ✨

One of the things that I love most about quilting One of the things that I love most about quilting is that there is always something new to learn. 

You never stop learning, creating, making mistakes, and repeating the whole process. You’ll discover a new technique to try, a new way to use the fabric already sitting in your stash, a project that stretches you just enough to make that eventual TA-DA! feel even better.

That’s exactly why I’m so excited to be co-hosting the Quilters Paradise Summit again this September. 

It’s a completely FREE online event created to help you learn new quilting techniques, make beautiful things, and connect with other people who get just as excited about fabric as you do. 😄

Whether you’ve been quilting for years or you’re still watching from the sidelines wondering if you could actually do this, come join us September 21–28 for a week of quilting, completely free, where you’re guaranteed to learn something new.

Maybe this is your sign to stop saving quite so many quilting videos... and start making something you’ll feel proud of. 🤍

What if, even while you’re sitting in your own sew What if, even while you’re sitting in your own sewing room, you had a whole community of quilters cheering you on, celebrating your finished blocks, answering your questions, and reminding you to keep going when you’re feeling stuck?

I think that’s one of the things people are craving most right now.

You don’t want just another hobby, but a place to belong, connection to grow, and people to learn from.

People who understand why you’re excited about a new fabric pull, why matching points deserve a little happy dance, or why finally finishing a quilt is such a big accomplishment.

That’s exactly what we’ve built inside the Make Modern Triangles Club.

Quilters from all over the world, of all ages and experience levels, learning together, encouraging one another, sharing their progress, and proving that quilting is even more fun when it’s shared.

And if you’re someone who’s been wishing for an even closer sense of community... someone who would love to spend time quilting in person with other people who love this craft as much as you do... Let’s just say you might want to stick around and make sure that you are following along. 😉

I have something very special I’ve been dreaming up behind the scenes, and I can’t wait to share it with you soon. 🧵✨
